He is the first cousin of Sophie Kumpen, the mother of three-time F1 World Champion Max Verstappen.
He previously competed full-time in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, winning the championship twice, in 2014 and 2016.
He also joint-held the record of the most 24 Hours of Zolder wins with six.
In 2014, he competed in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series for the PK Carsport team, driving a Holden VF Commodore.
He won one race in the championship, and ended the season in first place, one point ahead of defending champion Ander Vilariño.
