Larry ten Voorde (born 2 October 1996, in Enschede) is a Dutch racing driver. A longtime competitor in various Porsche series, ten Voorde won the Porsche Supercup in 2020 and 2021, as well as the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany in 2020, 2021, and 2023.[1][2][3]
Early career
[edit]Following an early spell in karting during which he won the German Rotax Max Challenge in various age categories, ten Voorde made his car racing debut in 2013, competing in the Formula Renault 1.6 NEC series. Having started his campaign for Van Amersfoort Racing with a pole position in the opening two rounds, the Dutchman moved to B&W Motorsport for the remainder of the campaign, scoring five podiums — including his maiden win at a red-flagged Zandvoort event — on his way to fourth in the standings.[4] Notably, ten Voorde helped his teammate Roy Geerts to win that season's title, letting him through to take the lead on the final lap of the final race.[5] He remained in the series in 2014, although an early double podium at Zandvoort and a pair of poles at Zolder would be the only highlights for him that year, one which ten Voorde ended without partaking in the final two rounds.[6][7] Subsequently, the Dutchman forewent the 2015 racing season entirely due to a lack of budget.[8]
Porsche career
[edit]In 2016, ten Voorde was able to return to car racing after supposedly impressing teams with his coaching activities during his time spent on the sidelines, winning the Porsche Super Sports Cup.[9] He also drove in the Spa event of the F1-supporting Porsche Supercup with race:pro motorsport, finishing eighth.[10] This proved to be a gateway, as the Dutch driver entered the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany for the 2017 season, driving for Team Project 1.[11] Though ten Voorde's only win would come at the sparsely-attended round at the Nürburgring, he managed to finish fifth overall, taking five podiums overall and finishing first in the rookies' standings. The following year, ten Voorde remained in PCCG, though he would combine his season with a campaign in the Porsche Supercup.[12] In the former, the domination of Thomas Preining and Michael Ammermüller left ten Voorde in third place overall, which he scored after collecting six podiums. His Supercup season did not hold such strong results, as he finished tenth in the standings with a best result of fourth at Silverstone. For the 2019 season, ten Voorde switched teams, driving for MRS GT-Racing in the Supercup and Overdrive Racing by Huber in PCCG. Despite missing the season opener in the former championship, he would come through to finish the year fourth in points with five podiums, one of which turned out to be his first series victory at Monza.[13][14] In Germany meanwhile, an early winning spree helped him to establish an early gap at the top of the standings.[15] However, a pair of retirements at the Norisring and a non-points finish at Zandvoort undid ten Voorde's advantage, leaving him in a third place overall due to multiple victories from Michael Ammermüller and eventual champion Julien Andlauer. Despite a win at the final race, ten Voorde finished third in the championship.[16]
At the end of 2019, ten Voorde joined Team Project 1 in the LMGTE Am class of the FIA World Endurance Championship for two races, which he finished second at Shanghai and first in Bahrain as the team's silver-ranked driver, having partnered pro driver Jeroen Bleekemolen and bronze Ben Keating.[17][18] He returned to the team to contest the final pair of events at Le Mans and Bahrain during the autumn of 2020, the latter of which he ended with another victory to take him to third in the drivers' standings.[19][20] His main focus in 2020 would lie on another double campaign in the Supercup and PCCG.[21] Ten Voorde controlled the German championship from start to finish, landing on the podium in all eleven races and winning four of them on his way to the title.[22] His campaign in the Porsche Supercup, which he contested for Team GP Elite, ended up as a hard-fought battle between the Dutchman and Luxembourg's Dylan Pereira, with both drivers standing at two wins apiece before the final round at Monza.[23] There, a dominant performance from ten Voorde proved to be decisive, with him taking over the championship lead for his first Supercup title.[24]
The 2021 campaign saw ten Voorde partake both series with GP Elite. The Dutch driver started the Supercup campaign in style, winning three of the opening four events, including a debut win at the Circuit de Monaco.[25][26] After finishing in the points during the next two races, a podium at the first Monza brought ten Voorde the title with a race to spare — which he would use to cap off his season with another victory on Sunday.[27][28][29] The PCCG campaign contained shades of similar dominance, as the Dutchman won half of the 16 races and finished off the rostrum just three times. Once again, ten Voorde clinched the title one race early, winning the first Hockenheim race to beat Ayhancan Güven to the crown.[30]
Ten Voorde remained in both championships during his third year with GP Elite, entering 2022 as a defending double-champion.[31] His Supercup season began with three successive podiums, including another win at Monaco, though a collision caused by Marvin Klein at the Red Bull Ring set the Dutchman back on his title quest.[32][33] He finished third at Le Castellet, second at Spa, and third at Zandvoort to tee up a final battle with Dylan Pereira in Italy.[34] Despite a penalty for the Luxembourger, second place for ten Voorde was not enough, with him missing ten points to Pereira.[35] Over in the German championship, ten Voorde had to wait for his first win until race six at Imola, by which stage Laurin Heinrich had built up an advantage at the top of the standings.[36] Further wins at Zandvoort and the Nürburgring closed up the fight, although a finish out of the points at the Lausitzring and a double victory for Heinrich during the Sachsenring event put the title out of reach for ten Voorde.[37] He ended this campaign second in the results sheets too, having won the two final races at the Hockenheimring.[38][39]
In 2023, ten Voorde retained his place at GP Elite in the Supercup and PCCG, although he would combine these duties with a season in the Porsche Carrera Cup Italy, which he contested with Enrico Fulgenzi Racing. In that championship, ten Voorde won five races and finished on the podium two further times, giving him the title despite missing two rounds.[40] Another title would come in Germany, where the Dutch driver dominated the first half of the season by winning five of the opening eight races.[41] Even though a number of young drivers came through to challenge the veteran, most notably teammate Loek Hartog, ten Voorde took two more wins on his way to a third PCCG championship.[42] His venture in the Supercup saw two runner-up finishes to start the season, before he was forced to retire at Silverstone following a multi-car collision at the start.[43] Two top tens in the next races were followed by a pair of third places at Zandvoort, once again bringing ten Voorde into a final decider at Monza, this time being 21 points behind Bastian Buus.[44] Ten Voorde drove a strong race but narrowly missed out on victory to Harry King, leaving him to finish five points behind Buus for his second successive runner-up finish in the Supercup.[45][46]
After four years with GP Elite, ten Voorde moved away in 2024, contesting the Porsche Supercup with Schumacher CLRT, remaining with Enrico Fulgenzi Racing in PCCI, and entering the PCCG with Proton Huber Competition. Before the year started, he made his debut at the 24 Hours of Daytona with MDK Motorsports, finishing 12th in the GTD class.[47] Ten Voorde began his campaign in the Supercup in complete control, winning the opening four races at Imola, Monaco, Spielberg, and Silverstone to create a gap at the front of the standings.[48][49]
