The Dutchman competed in the NLS in late September 2025, taking part in NLS9 – the ADAC Barbarossapreis. Driving a Ferrari 296 GT3 for Emil Frey Racing alongside Chris Lulham, it marked his GT3 debut on the Nordschleife, and he made an immediate impact by dominating the race and taking victory.
The outing came after he had already raced earlier in September, during the NLS7/8 weekend on 13–14 September, as part of the process required to obtain his Nordschleife licence with GT4.
