Career
[edit | edit source]Jansen participated in swimming competitions at an early age, winning silver medals in the 100-meter Butterfly and the 200-meter Medley along with a bronze medal in the 100-meter Breaststroke at the 2019 Gelderland Long Course Championships.[2]
Two years later, Jansen obtained his racing licence and half a year later,[3] made his car racing debut in the 2022 Supercar Challenge for Koopman Racing. After four races in the Sport class, Jansen stepped up to the GT class, winning on debut at Assen.[4] In the last three rounds of the season, Jansen won both races at Zandvoort and ended the season with another win at Assen to finish sixth in the GT points.[5][6]
Returning to the GT class of Supercar Challenge for 2023,[7] Jansen won seven races on his way to runner-up in points to Max Tubben and Max Weering.[8] Alongside his commitments in the Supercar Challenge series, Jansen joined Walkenhorst Motorsport for his maiden season in ADAC GT4 Germany.[9] Jansen started the season with two third place-finishes in the season-opening round at Oschersleben.[10][11] After scoring podiums at Zandvoort,[12] Lausitzring,[13] and Sachsenring, Jansen finished the season fifth in the standings on 116 points.[14] At the end of the year, Jansen joined the AMR academy ahead of his step up to GT World Challenge Europe.[15]
Stepping up from ADAC GT4 Germany, Jansen remained with Walkenhorst Motorsport to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup alongside Tim Creswick and Ben Green in the Bronze Cup.[16][17] The Dutch driver scored points at the six and 12 hour mark of the 24 Hours of Spa but wouldn't make it to the end as he crashed at the 14th hour at Eau Rouge.[18][19][20] He finished the season 32nd in the Bronze Cup standings, on nine points.[21]
In 2025, Jansen joined Paradine Competition and Century Motorsport to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup and the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, respectively.[22][23]
