Dutch debut in Prototype Cup Germany
More Motorsport will be the first Dutch team to participate in the Prototype Cup Germany with 19 year old Max van der Snel and his father Mark van der Snel. The team will compete in the Ligier JS P320.
Three race weekends are part of the highly publicised DTM events and three race weekends are part of the ADAC Racing Weekends. In addition to the races at the Hockenheimring, Oschersleben, Nürburgring and Norisring, they will also be racing in the Netherlands at Zandvoort and the TT Circuit Assen.
The LMP3 (Le Mans Prototype) car will be serviced and have technical support from the engineers and mechanics of Reiter Engineering, who have successfully participated in the Prototype Cup Germany and Michelin Le Mans Cup last season.

New challenge
This upcoming racing season for the first time a Dutch team will participate in the Prototype Cup Germany, in which teams and drivers from all over the world are competing. The Dutch racing team, More Motorsport, is represented by Max and Mark van der Snel. Their participation with the LMP3 in this racing series marks an important step forward for the team, which has previously raced at a national level.
“This is a dream come true for my father and me,” says Max van der Snel. “We have already raced together for the past two seasons, but competing in an LMP3 in the Prototype Cup at well-attended DTM and ADAC events is quite a challenge. We are pleased with the technical support from Reiter Engineering, who will assist us in the coming season to achieve maximum results together.”
Van der Snel duo
Max (19) has been racing since he was seven years old. Max made his debut in motorsport in 2021, when he took part in the Westfield Cup with his father Mark in a Westfield cup racer. In his first season he became Rookie of the Year. In 2022 he competed for the championship and finished as second overall.
Max studies Motorsport Engineering at the National Motorsport Academy of De Montfort University in Leicester and is also a part-time racing instructor at RSZ (Rensportschool Zandvoort).
His father Mark has, in addition to two seasons in the Westfield Cup, also participated in the Dutch Radical Cup in 2012.
