For the first time since 2024, I finally got to take my dad for another ride in a race car! ❤️

And this time, it wasn’t just any circuit… It was the Nürburgring Nordschleife! 🏁

Strapped in, helmet on, and absolutely no idea what he signed up for. 😂

Meanwhile, I was just afraid he would throw up in the car🤣🙈

Domi telling my dad what not to destroy with his feet in the small cayman😅

The first corners of the lap (he still got some color in his face, that will disappear soon🙈)

To say he loved it would be an understatement! 😂

These are the moments that make racing even more special. Memories together that I’ll never forget. ❤️ taken in Nürburgring Nordschleife by @calvin.de.groot

4 HOURS. 25 LAPS. ONE DRIVER. P3. 🏁

Without a doubt, the biggest challenge of my racing career so far.

Unfortunately, my teammate Heiko wasn’t allowed to participate in NLS 10, which meant I had to take on the entire 4-hour race by myself.

No driver changes. No time to recover. Just me, the Porsche Cayman GT4 CS and the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

25 laps. Over 600 kilometres. 240 minutes of racing. A podium finish.

It was a challenge that pushed me to my absolute limits, both physically and mentally. Every lap demanded full concentration, and as the race went on, the challenge only got bigger.

But giving up was never an option.

After four hours behind the wheel, I crossed the finish line in P3! A result that made the entire challenge even more special. Not just because of the distance, but because of what it took to get there.

A huge thank you to everyone at Sorg Rennsport for their hard work and support throughout the weekend. And of course to Heiko, who unfortunately had to watch this one from the sidelines.

One of the toughest days of my career, but also one of the experiences I’m most proud of. ❤️

Crossing the flag after the 4 hours!

Heiko and my dad talking before qualifying. Unfortunately, Heiko couldn’t race this weekend, but his support meant a lot.

Getting ready for what would become the biggest physical and mental challenge of my racing career so far.

Thanks to all my competitors for putting the bar up so high this season. It really pushes you to perform better every race and be the best version of yourself every time again🚀

25 laps, 608.95 kilometres and four hours behind the wheel. One of the toughest challenges I’ve ever faced.

With 18 cars in class the CUP 3 category was the 2nd biggest class after the GT3!

A trophy that represents much more than just a result. Four hours of pushing myself beyond my limits.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible people around me. Thank you for everything, team! taken in Nürburgring Nordschleife by @calvin.de.groot

The last scramble of 2026!🏌️⛳️

One of the most fun evenings of golf I’ve had so far! ⛳️🔥

With over 60 people joining, @younggolfersnederland put together an amazing evening filled with good golf, great people and plenty of laughs!

Teaming up with @loochoo.dj , the founder of Young Golfers Nederland, we didn’t quite manage to take the win, but we definitely had a great time out there! 😂

Already looking forward to the next one! 🙌🏼
