About Jamie

Fast at every level. Ready for the next step.

Jamie Vandenbalck (b. 1996) was born and raised in Leuven, Belgium, and now lives in Winksele. Between 2015 and 2021 he raced at Belgian and European level, scoring five podiums in the GT4 European Series for KTM and BMW and two wins in the Reiter Engineering RYS Academy. In 2019 he drove for Aston Martin and was selected for the Aston Martin Racing Driver Academy.

He finished his last full season, in the VRM BMW M2 Cup, with 2 wins, 5 podiums and the most points after the final race, together with Willem Meijer. He has also completed test mileage in the BMW M6 GT3 and Ferrari 458 Challenge.

After a few years away from competition, Jamie returns in 2027. Today he is an entrepreneur — behind PUBLI-touch, Inforegio, Shopa and Sitects — and a father of two daughters. Not just to take part, but with a professional package to fight at the front.
