🇳🇱 Richard Verschoor

Richard Verschoor is an established professional Gold-graded driver competing in endurance racing. He races LMP2 prototypes in the European Le Mans Series' Pro-Am class for Duqueine Team, sharing the car with co-drivers across multiclass grids. His career spans twelve seasons from single-seater open-wheel racing through to his current move into sportscars in 2026.[1]

Verschoor spent most of his career in Formula 2, where he took eight wins and sixteen podiums across 129 starts from 2021 to 2025 with MP Motorsport. He began in junior formulae with Formula Renault Eurocup and GP3 Series in 2017 and 2018, then progressed through Formula 3. His best single-seater result came in Formula 3 Macau in 2019, where he won one of the two races he started. In early 2026 he joined Duqueine Team for the European Le Mans Series, taking two podiums from five starts so far. He has also made one WEC appearance in the same machinery this year.[2]

His regular opponents in Formula 2 included Enzo Fittipaldi, a fellow established professional and 2018 Italian F4 champion with whom Verschoor was closely matched; he usually finished ahead of Amaury Cordeel, a Silver-graded driver with over a hundred Formula 2 starts. Verschoor's record included podium finishes ahead of Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Oscar Piastri, both generational drivers who went on to reach Formula 1; he encountered each nine times across various junior categories. MP Motorsport, which fielded him for the majority of his single-seater career, has produced multiple race winners and counted the elite professional Liam Lawson among its drivers.
