Michael Bleekemolen was a professional-level racing driver competing in FIA-sanctioned endurance and single-seater racing. Graded Bronze by the FIA, he raced primarily in the FIA GT Championship as a shared-car driver for Team Carsport Holland, a small operation that fielded established professionals alongside him. His career spanned from 1978 to 2012 across five indexed series, totalling 14 starts.[1]

His record centres on a full season in the FIA GT Championship in 2001, where he took three podiums across ten starts for Team Carsport Holland. He also made isolated appearances in Formula 1 in 1978, a single entry in the 24H Series TCR class in 2017, and two starts in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in 2011 and 2012, where he finished 28th in the championship standings. Early in his career he finished ahead of Justin Wilson, then an International Formula 3000 champion and later a frequent Formula 1 and IndyCar driver, and also ahead of Alain Menu, a World Touring Car Championship regular with substantial single-seater experience.[2]

In the FIA GT Championship, Bleekemolen raced against Mike Hezemans, a Silver-graded professional with 117 starts in the series, and regularly finished behind him. He was closely matched with Christian Pescatori, a professional driver with 60 FIA GT starts and 26 International Formula 3000 appearances. His endurance racing career placed him in mixed fields of amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals sharing multiclass and single-class grids.
