Maxime Oosten (born 13 November 2003 in Beetsterzwaag[1]) is a Dutch racing driver set to compete in GT World Challenge Asia for GTO Racing Team KRC and HRT Ford Racing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. He is the 2022 BMW M2 Cup Germany champion.

Early career

2019

Following two years in karting, Oosten stepped up to the Mazda MX-5 Cup Netherlands and the Dutch Supercar Challenge.[2][3] As the youngest driver in both championships, Oosten became Junior class champion in the former and Supersport 2 champion in the latter.[4]

2020

Oosten returned to Mazda MX-5 Cup Netherlands for his sophomore season, finishing third in the overall standings.[5][6] In August of that year, Oosten made his Porsche Supercup debut with Bas Koeten Racing.[7] Following a test at Vallelunga organized by Lamborghini's Giorgio Sanna, Oosten was included in Lamborghini's Young Driver Programme for 2021.[8] One month after the announcement, Oosten made his Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe debut in the final round at Paul Ricard.[9]

2021

For the 2021 season, Oosten returned to Johan Kraan Motorsports to compete on a full-time basis in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe.[10] After finishing second in the season opening race at Monza,[11] Oosten moved to Bonaldi Motorsport for the following round at Paul Ricard.[12] In the following round at Zandvoort, Oosten scored his second podium of the season by finishing second in race one.[13] After scoring further podiums at Spa-Francorchamps and Nürburgring, Oosten finished fourth in the standings.[14]

2022

Having made a part-time campaign in the BMW M2 Cup Germany the year prior, Oosten returned to the championship, racing on a full-time basis. He won eight races on his way to the title.[15] He also won the BMW M2 CS Racing Cup Benelux, becoming the first driver to win in two BMW M2 championships in the same year.[16] During the year, Oosten made his GT3 debut, racing in the 2022 24 Hours of Spa with Samantha Tan Racing.[17] Despite a diffuser problem during the race, Oosten finished ninth in the Silver class.[18] As a reward for winning the BMW M2 Cup Germany, Oosten participated in the FIA World Endurance Championship rookie test in Bahrain for Team Project 1, where he set the fastest time in LMGTE Am during the morning session.[19]

GT career

2023

Oosten continued with Team Project 1, stepping up to ADAC GT4 Germany for 2023.[20] He scored two podiums, both being second-place finishes, and ended the season 15th in the standings.[21] In September, it was announced that Oosten would make his ADAC GT Masters debut in the Red Bull Ring round.[22] Racing alongside Bruno Spengler, the pair finished third on debut, but were later promoted to first after the top-two was disqualified.[23] At the end of the year, Oosten made his Asian Le Mans Series debut with Project 1 in the GT class.[24]

2024

In early 2024, it was announced that Oosten would join FK Performance Motorsport alongside Leon Köhler for that year's ADAC GT Masters.[25] The Dutchman started off the season with a pole and a win at Oschersleben.[26][27] After finishing no lower than fifth in the next two races, Oosten won race two at Zandvoort.[28] Following two podiums at the Nürburgring and a fourth-place finish in race one at Spa, Oosten took his third win of the season in race two to stay in the title fight.[29] Taking two more podiums at the Red Bull Ring and Hockenheimring, Oosten finished his maiden ADAC GT Masters season as runner-up in the standings. Ahead of the Fuji round of the GT World Challenge Asia championship, Oosten joined Team KRC for the final four rounds of that season.[30] He scored four class podiums, with a best finish of fifth overall in the second race at Suzuka.[31] Before the 3 Hours of Monza, it was announced that Oosten would join Robin Frijns and Marco Wittmann on his GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup debut.[32] However in qualifying, the Dutchman crashed in the second round of qualifying and the car was withdrawn from the race.[33]

2025

The following year, Oosten joined Paradine Competition to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup,[34] as well as remaining with Team KRC to race in GT World Challenge Asia.[35] In the former, Oosten scored four Silver Cup podiums to end the season fourth in points,[36] whereas in the latter, Oosten scored three overall podiums and five class wins to secure the Silver-Am title at the end of the year.[37] During 2025, Oosten also raced for Paradine in the 24 Hours of Spa.[38]

2026

In 2026, Oosten remained with Team KRC to remain in GT World Challenge Asia,[39] as well as joining HRT Ford Racing to return to the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.[40]

Personal life

Oosten is the son of Veno Wood Flooring founder and amateur race car driver Hielke Oosten.[41][42]
