Anthony Kumpen
Anthony Kumpen (born 3 November 1978) is a Belgian professional racing driver and team manager renowned for his accomplishments in GT and stock car racing across Europe.[1] With a career spanning karting to international endurance events and NASCAR, he has secured two championships in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series (2014 and 2016), a third place in the 2009 FIA GT Championship, a victory in the 2009 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, and a record six wins in the 24 Hours of Zolder.[2][3][4] Kumpen has also competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times and holds multiple Belgian national titles in karting and GT racing.[5][6] Kumpen began his motorsport journey in 1988 with karting, where he amassed over 20 victories and claimed two Belgian national championships by 1994.[7] Transitioning to circuit racing in 1995, he debuted in the German Formula Renault series before finding prominence in endurance racing through the Belcar Endurance Championship, which he won seven times between 1998 and 2013.[7][2] His international breakthrough came in 2000 with entries in the FIA GT Championship for teams like Paul Belmondo Racing, leading to consistent podiums and his third-place finish in the 2009 FIA GT Championship alongside Mike Hezemans in a PK Carsport Corvette C6.R, with additional support from Jos Menten and Kurt Mollekens in key races like the 24 Hours of Spa.[2] That same year, their team triumphed at Spa, marking Kumpen's most prominent GT endurance success.[3] Shifting focus to stock cars in the early 2010s, Kumpen became a dominant force in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, clinching titles in 2014 and 2016 while driving for his own PK Carsport team, which he co-manages.[2] He made history as the first Euro Series driver to compete at Daytona International Speedway in the 2016 NASCAR Xfinity Series.[8] Following a four-year suspension from mid-2018 to September 2022 due to a positive anti-doping test at the 2018 24 Hours of Zolder, Kumpen returned to selective competition, including a 2023 partial EuroNASCAR schedule and a 2024 home race at Zolder paired with Thomas Dombrowski.[9][10] As of 2025, Kumpen continues as team manager for PK Carsport in the EuroNASCAR series while supporting his son Henri-Constant's successful karting career, including participation in the FIA Karting World Championship.[11][12][13][14]Early life
Birth and family background
Anthony Kumpen was born on November 3, 1978, in Hasselt, the capital of Limburg province in Belgium.[15][16] As a Belgian national, Kumpen was raised in the Flemish-speaking region of Limburg, an area characterized by its mix of rural landscapes and growing urban centers during the late 1970s and 1980s, when Belgium's economy was transitioning from heavy industry to more diversified commercial activities. Kumpen hails from a family with deep roots in entrepreneurship and motorsport. His father, Paul Kumpen, was a prominent Belgian businessman who served as chairman of Voka (the Flemish Network of Enterprises) and co-owned a significant stake in the Ridley bicycle company; Paul was also an accomplished racer, winning the Belgian Rallycross Championship in 1987 driving a Porsche 911 BiTurbo 4x4.[16][17][18] Kumpen's cousin, Sophie Kumpen, pursued a successful career in karting, achieving national championships and international wins in the 1990s, including the 1995 Andrea Margutti Trophy, and is the mother of Formula One driver Max Verstappen; which likely fostered an early family environment immersed in racing culture.[19] This familial involvement in motorsport provided Kumpen with direct exposure and encouragement toward automotive pursuits from a young age.[11] The socioeconomic context of Hasselt during Kumpen's childhood, as a hub for commerce and innovation in Limburg, supported access to resources that aligned with his family's business-oriented lifestyle, potentially nurturing interests in high-performance activities like racing.[17]Introduction to motorsport
Anthony Kumpen was born on November 3, 1978, in Hasselt, Belgium, into a family with deep ties to motorsport. His father, Paul Kumpen, was a prominent Belgian entrepreneur and rally champion who won the national title in 1987 and founded PEKA Racing in 1968, creating an environment steeped in racing culture that provided stability and early exposure to the sport.[17][20][9] At the age of 10, Kumpen made his entry into motorsport by starting karting in 1988, initially as a hobby that quickly evolved into a serious pursuit with family backing from his father's racing legacy and team resources. This period marked his foundational non-competitive experiences on local tracks, building skills before advancing to structured competitions.[21][15]Racing career
Karting and junior formulas
Anthony Kumpen began his competitive racing career in karting at the age of 10 in 1988. Competing primarily in Belgian national series, he amassed over 20 victories across various events during his six-year tenure in the discipline.[21][7] Kumpen's karting achievements included two Belgian national titles, earned through consistent performance in domestic championships that emphasized precision handling and racecraft fundamentals. These successes in Belgium's competitive karting scene provided a strong foundation for his progression in motorsport, building endurance and tactical skills essential for higher-level racing.[21][7] In 1995, Kumpen transitioned from karting to single-seater formulas, entering the German Formula Renault championship as a means to adapt to open-wheel vehicles and broader international competition. Over the 1995 and 1996 seasons, he achieved seven podium finishes, demonstrating rapid adjustment to the series' technical demands, such as higher speeds and aerodynamic sensitivities, while racing against drivers from across Europe. This period marked a pivotal shift, enhancing his ability to manage tire wear and race strategy in formula cars before advancing to GT categories.[21]Belcar and national series
Kumpen made his professional racing debut in the Belcar Endurance Championship in 1998 at the age of 19, competing in a Porsche 993 for the AD Sport team and securing five victories in the GT2 category to claim the class championship in his inaugural season.[21][22][7] In 1999, he advanced to the Porsche 993 Turbo with GLPK Racing, achieving four overall wins and two runner-up finishes across seven races, which earned him the Belgian GT Championship title.[21][23] The following year, Kumpen switched to a Chrysler Viper GTS-R, still with GLPK Racing, and recorded six overall victories in eight events to finish as vice-champion in the series.[21] Kumpen's dominance in Belcar continued through the early 2000s, with further championships in 2002, 2003, and 2004, where he piloted the Viper to multiple GT and GTA class titles, including overall honors in the Belgian Racing Car Championship.[23][21] By 2006, competing in a Corvette C5-R for GLPK Racing, he captured five wins in seven races to secure both the general GT and Class 1 championships.[21] Over his Belcar tenure from 1998 to 2013, Kumpen amassed seven series championships, establishing himself as a leading figure in Belgian national GT racing.[7] His experience in junior formulas had equipped him with the precision and adaptability needed for the competitive GT environment.[23]International GT racing
Kumpen's international GT career began in 2000 when he joined Paul Belmondo Racing for the FIA GT Championship, driving a Chrysler Viper GTS-R in select events, including a fourth-place finish in the season finale.[21][2] He continued with the team in 2001, securing one pole position, two podiums, and four top-five finishes that year.[21] In 2002, Kumpen achieved his breakthrough with Team Carsport Holland, still in a Chrysler Viper GTS-R, where he earned his first FIA GT victory alongside co-driver Mike Hezemans and recorded five podiums overall, helping the team to third in the standings.[21][23] The following year, he moved to Force One, again piloting a Viper GTS-R, and claimed two pole positions while competing in the N-GT class.[21] Kumpen's career progressed through the mid-2000s with GLPK Carsport, switching to Chevrolet Corvettes; in 2005, he won twice and podiumed three times in the C5-R, followed by a 2006 season in the C6-R that included one victory and five podiums.[21][2] By 2007, racing for PK Carsport in a Corvette C5-R, he notched five podiums and one pole. In 2008, he drove a Saleen S7-R for PEKA Racing, securing one win.[21] His FIA GT tenure peaked in 2009 with PK Carsport in a Corvette C6.R, where he and Hezemans claimed two victories and three podiums, finishing as vice-champions in the GT1 class.[21][24] Over his decade in the series, Kumpen amassed seven wins and 27 podiums across 84 starts.[24] Although primarily focused on the FIA GT Championship, Kumpen also competed in the FIA GT2 European Series in the early 2000s with entries in a Porsche 911 GT2, building on his domestic GT experience.[22]Endurance racing
Kumpen's endurance racing career began with his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2001, driving a Chrysler Viper GTS-R for Paul Belmondo Racing alongside Grégoire de Galzain and Jean-Claude Lagniez, though the entry retired early due to an accident after completing 61 laps.[25] He returned in 2002 with Team Carsport Holland in another Viper GTS-R, paired with Gabriele Matteuzzi and Angelo Staurenghi, but again faced retirement from a crash after 93 laps.[26] The 2003 edition saw him compete for Carsport America in the same model with David Hart and Angelo Staurenghi, ending in a gearbox failure after 17 hours and 40 minutes.[27] His final Le Mans appearance came in 2004 with Taurus Sports Racing in a Lola B2K/10 powered by Caterpillar, alongside Phil Andrews and Calum Lockie, retiring due to gearbox issues after nearly three hours and covering 478 kilometers.[28] These four consecutive participations highlighted his transition from GT sprint racing to the demands of long-distance prototypes and GT cars, though none resulted in a classified finish.[2] Kumpen achieved greater success in the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, most notably securing an overall victory in 2009 driving a Chevrolet Corvette C6.R for PK Carsport with co-drivers Mike Hezemans, Jos Menten, and Kurt Mollekens, finishing 11 laps ahead of the runner-up Maserati MC12 after overcoming challenges from multiple GT1 contenders.[3] This triumph in the FIA GT Championship round underscored his expertise in high-stakes endurance events on one of Europe's most demanding circuits, building on his prior GT experience.[29] He continued competing at Spa in subsequent years, including a 30th-place finish in 2013 with Phoenix Racing's Audi R8 LMS ultra alongside Enzo Ide and Markus Winkelhock, completing 453 laps in the Blancpain Endurance Series event.[30] Kumpen's most dominant endurance record came at the 24 Hours of Zolder, where he co-holds the mark for most overall wins with six victories spanning 2000 to 2012.[22] His first triumph arrived in 2000 with GLPK Racing's Chrysler Viper alongside Bert Longin and Wim Geboers, setting the tone for repeated success in the Belcar Endurance Championship's flagship race. Further wins followed in 2002, 2003, and 2004, often with Viper or similar GT machinery for teams like GLPK and PK Carsport, establishing him as a Zolder specialist through consistent team coordination and strategic stints.[23] He added to his tally in 2010, securing his fifth victory with First Motorsport in a Porsche, and capped the record in 2012 driving a Mercedes SLS GT3 for W-Racing Team, equaling the previous benchmark set by endurance stalwarts.[31] These results, achieved across prototypes and GT categories, reflect Kumpen's adaptability and pivotal role in Belcar's endurance narrative, prioritizing reliability and pace over the 24-hour format.[2]Stock car transition and NASCAR Whelen Euro Series
Following a successful career in GT and endurance racing, Anthony Kumpen transitioned to stock car racing in 2014, drawn by his longstanding fandom of NASCAR and the opportunity presented by the newly established European series.[32] He had first encountered the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series (NWES) while competing in a GT event, which sparked his interest in competing on the ovals and road courses that define stock car disciplines.[33] Joining forces with the Belgian team PK Carsport, Kumpen debuted in the Elite 1 division driving a Chevrolet SS, marking a deliberate shift to seek fresh challenges after dominating European GT circuits.[34] In his rookie NWES season, Kumpen demonstrated rapid adaptation to the heavier, more robust stock cars, which required adjustments in handling on both road courses and occasional ovals compared to the agile GT prototypes he knew.[35] He achieved consistent results, never finishing outside the top 10 and securing 10 top-5 finishes, including a victory earlier in the year.[35] The championship climaxed at the Circuit Bugatti in Le Mans, where Kumpen overtook rival Ander Vilarino on lap 5 during the wet Sunday race—his first experience driving a stock car in rain—and finished second to clinch the Elite 1 title by a single point.[35] This debut triumph highlighted his ability to leverage prior endurance racing stamina for the series' demanding schedule of sprint races across Europe.[33] Kumpen's loyalty to PK Carsport paid dividends in 2016, as he returned to defend his crown in the Elite 1 division with the same #24 Chevrolet SS.[36] Building on his experience with oval drafting and road-course precision, he mounted a strong campaign against competitors like Frédéric Gabillon and Borja Garcia, securing multiple wins throughout the season.[36] The title was decided in the finale at his home track, Circuit Zolder, where despite sustaining front-end damage early on, Kumpen nursed the car to a seventh-place finish, edging Gabillon by nine points to become a two-time NWES champion.[36] This victory, celebrated with a burnout in front of adoring Belgian fans and NASCAR icon Jeff Gordon, solidified his dominance in European stock cars during the mid-2010s.[36]Recent seasons
Following a four-year suspension from mid-2018 to September 2022 due to a positive anti-doping test, Anthony Kumpen made a comeback appearance in late 2022 at the Circuit Zolder round of the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series (NWES), piloting a Chevrolet Camaro for PK Carsport, the team he manages.[37] Kumpen returned to full-time competition in 2023 with PK Carsport in the EuroNASCAR PRO division, targeting a third championship to add to his 2014 and 2016 titles. He demonstrated strong form throughout the season, securing multiple podium finishes and maintaining contention in a tightly contested points battle, with the top four drivers separated by just 19 points entering the final rounds. Despite consistent top-five results, including a sixth-place finish in the decisive Race 2 at Zolder, Kumpen ultimately placed fourth in the final standings with 388 points, behind champion Gianmarco Ercoli.[38][39][40] In 2024, Kumpen adopted a part-time schedule in EuroNASCAR PRO to balance team management duties, competing selectively with PK Carsport. His primary outing was the season finale at Circuit Zolder, where he shared the No. 66 Chevrolet Camaro with Thomas Dombrowski; the duo qualified second in superpole and achieved a sixth-place finish in Race 2 after a competitive run. No further driving appearances were recorded that year.[10] As of November 2025, Kumpen has shifted to a reduced driving role, prioritizing his responsibilities as PK Carsport team principal in the NWES while focusing on selective events amid calendar conflicts with other motorsport commitments. The team enjoyed success under his leadership, with drivers like Vittorio Ghirelli securing the 2025 EuroNASCAR PRO title, but Kumpen did not enter any races himself that season.[13][41][42]Achievements
Championships won
Anthony Kumpen has secured ten Belgian national championships across various series, establishing him as one of the most successful drivers in Belgian motorsport history, particularly in the Belcar Endurance Championship where his multiple titles highlight his dominance in GT categories from the late 1990s through the 2010s.[6] His Belcar victories include the GT2 class title in 1998, the overall GT championship in 1999, and subsequent GTA and overall titles in 2002, 2003, and 2004, often driving Porsches and Vipers in partnership with teams like GLPK Racing.[23] Later successes came in 2006 with the General GT and Class 1 championships aboard a Corvette, and in 2013 with the Belgian Racing Car Championship title for the Belgian Audi Club team.[21] In international competition, Kumpen achieved two championships in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series Elite 1 division, winning the title in 2014 with PK Carsport after a season featuring multiple victories and consistent podiums, clinching the crown at the Brands Hatch finale.[43] He repeated as champion in 2016, again with PK Carsport, securing the title through strong performances including a win and six podiums, underscoring his adaptability to stock car racing.[44] While Kumpen has not won outright championships in the FIA GT series, his runner-up finish in the GT1 class in 2009 with PK Carsport's Corvette C6.R—alongside Mike Hezemans—represents a significant achievement, with the duo earning multiple podiums and a near-title challenge before the final round at Zolder.[45] These titles, particularly his record-tying multiple Belcar overall wins, have cemented Kumpen's legacy as a cornerstone of Belgian GT racing, with his championships often built on strategic endurance driving and team collaborations that maximized points across demanding seasons.[6]Endurance race victories
Anthony Kumpen is a co-record holder for the most overall victories at the 24 Hours of Zolder, with six triumphs spanning from 2000 to 2012, often driving Vipers in the early years and transitioning to GT3 machinery later. These successes highlight his prowess in endurance strategy, particularly in managing tire wear and pit stops during variable weather conditions common at the Belgian circuit. His repeated wins with teams like GLPK Racing and the Belgian Audi Club underscore his role in elevating Belgian motorsport on the endurance scene.[22] The following table summarizes Kumpen's Zolder victories:| Year | Co-Drivers | Car | Team |

Family and relationships
Anthony Kumpen has been married to Griet Vanhees since June 2011, when the couple wed in Hasselt, Belgium.[52] The family resides in Hasselt, where Kumpen balances his professional commitments with supporting his children's interests. Kumpen and Vanhees share a son, Henri-Constant Kumpen, born in 2013,[53] who has emerged as a promising young karting talent.[54] Kumpen, a former professional racer himself, has increasingly devoted his time to coaching and managing Henri-Constant's karting career, including accompanying him to international competitions. In 2023, at age 10, Henri-Constant was crowned the IAME Benelux Karting Champion in the Mini category, a milestone highlighted in Kumpen's reality television series The Long Road Home.[55] By 2024, Henri-Constant joined the Tony Kart Racing Team for the OK-Junior category and achieved vice-champion status in the WSK Final Cup OK-Junior,[56] with Kumpen actively involved in his training and race travel across Europe.[54] This paternal role has influenced Kumpen's racing schedule, as he prioritizes family travel and sponsorship connections—leveraging his motorsport network to secure opportunities for his son—over personal competitions.[11] Kumpen also maintains close relationships with children from previous partnerships: he is the father of a daughter, Laura Kumpen, born in 2003, and serves as a stepfather to Thibeau, Vanhees' son from an earlier relationship.[57][58] The blended family dynamic emphasizes collective support for the children's pursuits, including postponing potential relocations to the United States to focus on their sports development, as Kumpen and Vanhees have publicly discussed balancing ambition with realistic expectations.[58]Interests outside racing
Anthony Kumpen serves as co-owner and team manager of PK Carsport, a prominent Belgian racing outfit competing in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series and other championships.[34][54] Under his leadership, the team has secured multiple victories, including the 2020 EuroNASCAR PRO title with driver Alon Day.[34] In 2024, Kumpen reduced his driving commitments to emphasize team management, signing Vittorio Ghirelli to take over his full-time racing role in the No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro.[54] Beyond team operations, Kumpen has ventured into media, appearing in Belgian television productions. He portrayed a racecar driver in the 2008 episode "Corvette" of the crime series Witse.[59] In 2010, he competed as a contestant on the fourth season of Sterren op de Dansvloer, the Belgian edition of Dancing with the Stars, where he was eliminated in the third week.[60] Kumpen also featured in a 2017 cameo on the comedy series Spitsbroers. More recently, in 2023, he starred in the six-part reality series Anthony Kumpen: The Long Road Home on VTM GO, documenting his behind-the-scenes life in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.[61] Since 2024, Kumpen has shifted focus toward coaching his son, Henri-Constant Kumpen, in karting competitions. Henri-Constant joined the Tony Kart Racing Team for the 2024 season, competing in over 20 race meetings, with Kumpen prioritizing this role alongside his team duties.[54] The arrangement continued into 2025, as Henri-Constant remained part of the team's official lineup in the OK-Junior category.[62]Motorsports career results
