After the F4 tests and the Ginetta debut, Luuk was back racing in the kart at the start of November.
After reaching the final eight of the Ginetta Junior Scholarship, Luuk made his debut in cars with Orion SPR at the Ginetta Junior Winter Series at Snetterton: a qualifying session and two races on each day. Orion SPR team manager Sally Livesey: "Both boys have a strong karting background and lots of racecraft experience." Read the Ginetta announcement →
Since September, Luuk has been testing in Formula 4: the next step on the single-seater ladder.
Full FIA-international karting season: eleven WSK rounds and five Champions of the Future Euro Series rounds across Italy, Spain, Germany and Sweden. Confirmed results so far: WSK SMS R1 La Conca (P82), WSK SMS R5 Franciacorta (P16). Next round: COTF Euro R3, Mülsen DE, 6 June.
Junior factory drive with the team of former F1 driver Nelson Piquet Junior in the United States. A one-off Formula 4 test with Champagne Racing in the US ran alongside the Sodi programme. The first taste of a single-seater. The full single-seater move came in 2026 with MP Motorsport in the Netherlands.
Two factory programmes in one year. Second at the Lonato Night Race in Italy and fourth at the USPKS Grand Prix in Carolina, USA. A transatlantic season that put Luuk in front of two very different audiences.
First international race win, on Swedish asphalt. The result that moved the family conversation from "is this a hobby?" to "this is a career."
First-ever Italian victory at the ROK Cup, Franciacorta, confirming the Klippan result wasn't a one-off.
First contracted year at the WSK championship level under the Energy Corse banner. The marker between regional and full international karting.
Third overall at the IAME EU Winter Cup in Valencia, racing for Fusion. Plus second overall in the Benelux Championship for WJS, and a first overall at the Electric Kart Racing event in Venray.
Four regional championship titles in one season. Calex came on board this year as the first long-term backer; the partnership has now lasted six years.
Race debut at six years and 136 days. First Dutch domestic events. The years where you learn that motorsport at this level is mostly the work between the races.
2026 is in motion. 2027 is single-seaters. The next page of this timeline is being written now, and there's room on it for the right partners.
