Born in 1998, a native of Gemert in the Netherlands, Marijn starts racing in the 60 class at 7 years (winning the second absolute race in which he took part) and then competing in the Honda Cadet with 4-stroke engines up to 9 years. His competitive path then inevitably passes - given his provenance - from Rotax between Mini Max and Junior Max to his KF3 debut with the PCR frames used by the AVG team. At the age of 15, the transition to international competitions, always with the AVG team that in the meantime linked up with Birel, and in 2015 the move to KZ, a category that Marijn confessed to us that he loved right away. The first significant results in the gearbox class come in 2017 with a third place at the European Championship and then this year, with the not even unexpected and well-deserved victory of the World Championship in Lonato at the end of an epic fight on the track with Adrien Renaudin.
