🇳🇱 Sebastiaan Bleekemolen

Sebastiaan Bleekemolen is a professional endurance racing driver, FIA Silver graded, who competed across international and national multiclass championships over two decades. He raced the FIA GT Championship as a shared-car competitor for Team Carsport Holland in 2001, then returned to endurance racing periodically through the IMSA WeatherTech and IMSA Pilot Challenge series in North America, and the 24H Series in 2017. His most recent indexed racing came in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in 2012.[1]

Bleekemolen took three podiums across 20 starts in the FIA GT Championship, where he regularly finished alongside Andrea Bertolini, a three-time FIA GT champion. He also raced against Antonio Garcia, a four-time IMSA WeatherTech champion and Platinum-graded professional, in the IMSA WeatherTech series. In North American endurance racing he shared track space with established and elite professionals; he finished ahead of Kevin Estre, a Platinum-graded driver and two-time WEC champion, once in IMSA competition, and ahead of Chase Briscoe, an ARCA Menards champion with substantial NASCAR experience, in another meeting.[2]

His FIA Silver grade places him below the full professional tiers in endurance racing, though his record against Gold and Platinum graded drivers showed he could run competitively in those fields. Team Carsport Holland, his main team across his earliest indexed campaigns, fielded established professionals and won multiple races during his time there. The family operation Team Bleekemolen later ran his endurance entries and continues to operate in international motorsport.
