🇳🇱 Paul Meijer

Paul Meijer is a professional racing driver rated 3,612, competing in multiclass endurance racing and single-class sprint series. He races primarily in the 24H Series, where he drives a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) for Seblajoux Racing, and competes in the Nürburgring 24 Hours for BLACK FALCON Team ZIMMERMANN. He holds an FIA Silver grading, indicating a driver developing within GT and endurance racing rather than an established full professional.[1]

His career spans from 2004, when he raced in Formula Renault Eurocup with Epsilon Sport, to his current activity in 2024–2026. In the Eurocup he took one win and four podiums across 20 starts; he has since moved into endurance racing, where he has won once in the 24H Series, once at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, and added a podium in the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup. His record includes three wins and ten podiums from 41 total starts. Early in his career he finished ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, the 2010 Formula V8 3.5 champion, and twice ahead of António Félix da Costa, the 2019 Formula E and 2022 WEC LMP2 champion, though these results came when both were developing drivers themselves.[2]

In his regular endurance company Meijer usually finishes ahead of Mikhail Aleshin, an established professional and Platinum-graded driver who has raced IndyCar and Formula Renault Eurocup, and runs closely matched with Reinhard Kofler, a fellow Silver-graded professional. He races in fields mixing amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals in the same race, and in the 2024 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup he finished fifteenth in the championship standings from a single start.
