Dear fellow racing driver my name is Martin Klaassen and I have been racing all my life, it is my passion! I started my journey at the local karting track with go karts and became one of the fastest drivers on track in a short amount of time. Unfortunately the cost for a full racing season was too much and I was forced to quit.
After my introduction to racing I fell in love with the feeling and decided to start simracing as a cheaper alternative to real life racing, the cars aren’t real in the simulator but the racing is! After two years of driving I participated in my first eSports qualifier (F1 2021 Challenger series) and finished the pre-quali in the top fifty, but didn’t drive the main event due to an injury I had. After my first taste of this intensely competitive environment I challenged myself to become the best at it, I lost the passion for the F1 cars and wanted to explore different cars from different eras to expand my driving capabilities.
I drove on the project cars 2 game for almost a year and overcame my challenge to become one of the fastest drivers in the world, after that I moved to Assetto Corsa Competitione to improve my race craft because I was a fast driver but not a good/clean one. Simultaniously I started to drive the evolution of the sim where I had almost all my noteable succes on up untill that point, and quickly became one of the best/fastest drivers in the world on Automobilista 2 where I drove numerous records in several different cars. Half a year ago I decided to heavily invest my time into Assetto Corsa Competitione and I now drive among the best drivers in the world which also include professional real life drivers from gt4 to formula 1 at times.
I also got the opportunity to start racing in my very own-built race car in real life consistently, where I get a lot of praise for my performances at such a young age and limited real life driving experience from experienced racing drivers all because of the simulator. Because I have a lot of experience in a variety of cars on the simulator at a high-level and now proving to the whole world that the simulator is in fact a representation of real life racing for the fraction of the cost, I felt the need to start this academy to help other like-minded racers get more out of themselves and start winning races.
About me

I will make you a better driver and fulfill the needs you have by helping you getting faster, more consistent, improving technique and I will answer all of your questions in regard to racing.
By offering this I will be able to share the knowledge that I have gained over the years of racing to a variety of racers. My coaching style is very much focused on the fundamentals of driving. For example I will not tell you to brake at a specific pixel on the screen but instead explain why you should be braking at certain points. The theory of driving is very complicated and that is why i am so interested in it, I convert all of the theory there is in the coaching lessons to help you understand it as-well.
