Joël Vanloocke was a semi-professional endurance racing driver competing in the 24H Series, a multiclass championship mixing amateur and professional crews across thirteen countries. He raced for VDS Racing Adventures in the SP2 and SPX classes, cars that shared the grid with prototypes and production machinery in a format where each car ran multiple drivers in rotation over endurance distances.[1]
Vanloocke took part in six races across three seasons from 2017 to 2019, taking one win and two podiums. His most recent season saw him finish seventh in the championship standings.[2]
Against the entry-level professionals who formed his regular opposition, Paque and Bastien, he typically finished behind them. He did beat the professional Silver-graded driver Erik Janis once, and the professional Franjo Kovac once, isolated results that speak to the variable nature of endurance racing where shared-car results depend heavily on co-driver performance and pit strategy.
