Huub van Eijndhoven (born 1 December 1999) is a Dutch racing driver who competes in the European Le Mans Series in LMGT3 for Proton Competition.

Career

Early career Van Eijndhoven started his car racing career in the Supercar Challenge, making his debut in the final two rounds of the 2019 season as he began a partnership with JW Race Service. He continued with the team for his full-time debut the following year, where he won two races and came runner-up to the series.

Porsche competition In 2021, van Eijndhoven competed in the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux and made a guest appearance in the final round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany at the Hockenheimring for JW Race Service. He led the Benelux championship during the season and entered the Hockenheim finale tied on points with Dylan Derdaele. He retired from the first race after an opening-lap collision involving Xavier Maassen damaged his steering. He finished third in the championship with two wins, four pole positions and eight podiums, and won the rookie title. In November 2021, he represented the Benelux series at the Porsche Junior Shootout at MotorLand Aragón in Spain. The selection brought together twelve candidates from Porsche one-make championships worldwide, including three wildcard entrants. Other participants included Laurin Heinrich, Harry King and Sebastian Priaulx. Candidates were assessed on driving, physical and mental fitness, technical understanding, work with engineers and media skills. Ayhancan Güven was the incumbent Porsche Junior.

Van Eijndhoven switched over to GP Elite for the 2022 season and drove full-time in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, recording a best finish of sixth at the Sachsenring on his way to 9th. He scored six rookie-class victories, more than any other driver, in a season that also included two retirements. The rookie title battle with Lorcan Hanafin went down to the final race at Hockenheim, with van Eijndhoven finishing runner-up on 287 points, seven behind Hanafin. He also contested the only Benelux rounds of the Porsche Supercup at Spa-Francorchamps and Zandvoort. In 2023, van Eijndhoven contested a dual campaign of the Porsche Supercup and the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, coming 13th in the former and 8th in the latter. He won the Supercup rookie category at Monaco and the Red Bull Ring. He achieved his maiden PCCD podium at the Hockenheimring, finishing second behind teammate Loek Hartog and ahead of fellow GP Elite driver Larry ten Voorde. The 1–2–3 finish secured GP Elite its first Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland teams’ championship.

In 2024, van Eijndhoven continued with the same dual campaign in the Porsche Supercup and the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. He claimed his maiden Supercup podiums in the only Benelux rounds of the season – Spa-Francorchamps and Zandvoort – and ended the championship sixth in the standings. Van Eijndhoven achieved his first PCCD pole position in the opening round at Imola Circuit. He scored the first podium of his campaign in the second round at the Oschersleben. A round later, he took another pole position on home soil at Zandvoort. While running second and challenging race leader Larry ten Voorde, a slow puncture forced him to make a pit stop, leaving him 20th at the finish. He collected two podiums in both races of the Sachsenring, and started the opening race of the final round at the Hockenheimring on pole position, which amounted to his maiden win in the series. He collected one more podium in the final race of his campaign before ending fourth in the standings.

At his Porsche Carrera Cup Italia debut with BeDriver at Monza in October 2024, van Eijndhoven set the second-fastest qualifying time. His qualifying times were subsequently deleted, placing him 33rd and last on the grid for the first race. He recovered through the field and was classified seventh in the final results.

Van Eijndhoven continued with GP Elite for another dual campaign of the 2025 Porsche Supercup and the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. He finished the former sixth in the standings, and the latter third in the standings with two poles and four podiums.

Endurance racing Van Eijndhoven won the Zandvoort 500 in 2019 with his father Bart and Jaap van Lagen. Van Lagen praised his tyre management during the final stint, when he preserved wet-weather tyres on a track that was initially too dry for them. He won the event again in November 2022 alongside Max van Splunteren.

He won the 992 class of the 2023 Dubai 24 Hour with FACH Auto Tech. Later that year, he finished second in the 992 class at the Barcelona 24 Hours with Red Ant Racing. The team qualified second overall and took the class pole in a rain-shortened qualifying session. He finished third in the 992 class at Dubai in 2024. He finished second in the 992 class at the 2025 Dubai 24 Hour with Tierra Outdoor Racing by HWM, sharing the car with Ralph Poppelaars, Lucas van Eijndhoven and Jop Rappange. In 2024, he also tested a Porsche 911 GT3 R with Manthey Racing.

For the 2026 season, van Eijndhoven moved into GT3 competition, and was part of the winning crew in the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi with Antares Au and Loek Hartog. The Abu Dhabi victory came in his first GT3 race. He also took his second Dubai 24 Hour class victory, winning the 992 category with Tierra Outdoor Racing by FACH alongside Robert de Haan, Wouter Boerekamps and Ralph Poppelaars. He made his Asian Le Mans Series debut at Dubai in January 2026, joining Harry King and Bancksy in Proton Competition’s number 77 Porsche for the final four races of the season. Van Eijndhoven then contested the European Le Mans Series for Proton Competition in the LMGT3 category. He achieved his first ELMS podium in the third round at the 4 Hours of Imola, partnering Harry King and Martin Berry. A round later at the 2026 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, he collected another podium and a best result of second place alongside Berry and Alessio Picariello. He finished third at Silverstone with Berry and King, giving the crew three consecutive podium finishes. With one round remaining, he was third in the LMGT3 drivers’ standings with 62 points.

GT World Challenge Europe Van Eijndhoven also made his debut in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for Herberth Motorsport, sharing a Porsche 911 GT3 R (992.2) in Bronze Cup with Ralf Bohn and team owner Robert Renauer.

At the season opener at Circuit Paul Ricard, van Eijndhoven, Bohn and Robert Renauer secured pole position in the Bronze Cup class.

Bronze Cup entries in the Endurance Cup combine Bronze- and Silver-rated drivers with a professional driver, with a maximum three-driver line-up of Platinum, Silver and Bronze; an additional Silver-rated driver is permitted for the Spa 24 Hours. During the Paul Ricard prologue, the number 91 Herberth Porsche was fourth overall and fastest in Bronze Cup in the second morning session. In an interview with GT REPORT, van Eijndhoven said the crew had been running sixth overall and second in class at Monza before contact during a late safety-car period. The crew finished eighth in Bronze Cup. At the Spa 24 Hours, he shared the car with Bohn, Alfred Renauer and Mathieu Jaminet.

Personal life Van Eijndhoven's father, Bart, and brother, Lucas, are also racing drivers. Bart owns Basiq Dental, a company that sells dental supplies.
