🇳🇱 Jesse van Kuijk

Jesse van Kuijk is a retired Dutch racing driver with a Racer Rating of 3,271, placing him at the semi-professional level; this denotes a driver capable of wins in pro-am and one-make classes but typically finishing mid-pack among full professionals. His sole racing series on record was the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, where he competed for Team GP Elite across four seasons from 2019 to 2022 with 27 starts but no wins or podiums. He holds an FIA Silver categorisation, the professional-level grading for sportscar and endurance racing that typically denotes a young or early-career driver.[1]

Van Kuijk's record against his regular rivals reveals a consistent gap between himself and the front-runners. Against the two strongest drivers in his field, he managed single victories over Larry Ten Voorde, a multiple-time Supercup champion rated at the established professional level, and against Michael Ammermüller, who won the 2019 Supercup; however, these isolate wins came against drivers who otherwise finished ahead of him decisively, with Ten Voorde beating him 25 times in 26 shared races and Ammermüller beating him in both their other meetings. His average finishing position of P16.9 across all classified races reflects mid-field consistency; he regularly finished ahead of drivers such as Roar Lindland, rated well below the professional level, but struggled against most of the Silver and higher-graded professionals around him. His best competitive position relative to his peers came against Max Van Splunteren, a fellow Silver-graded driver, where he held a 6-20 head-to-head disadvantage over 26 races.
