Olivier Tielemans (born June 1, 1984 in Weert) is a Dutch racing driver.

Career

[edit]

His career started back in 1991 when he came 4th in the Dutch Kart Championship. Between 1995 and 1997 he raced in the Belgian Kart Championship and became Rookie of The Year.

In 2002, Tielemans moved into open-wheel racing competing in the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup and Italian Formula Renault Championship for Tomcat Racing. For 2003, Tielemans moved to Dutch team MP Motorsport competing in the Formula Renault 2000 Masters. In 2004, he was signed to German FIA Formula 3000 Championship team ma-con, although did not drive for them, instead competing in the final six races of the season with Team Astromega.[1][2] For the 2005 season he raced in the 3000 ProSeries.

In 2006, Tielemans switched from open-wheel racing to touring cars, securing a seat with the Futurecom TME team under direction from Colin Kolles, at the time part of Midland F1, in DTM, driving an Audi A4 alongside Vanina Ickx.[3] He left the team after three races, being replaced by Jeroen Bleekemolen.[4] For 2007, Tielemans moved into the World Touring Car Championship driving a Alfa Romeo 156 GTA for N.Technology, and in 2008 moving to Wiechers Motorsport driving a BMW 320Si.[5][6][7] He finished the 2008 season in 20th place, scoring one overall championship point, but winning several races in the independent constructor category contesting for the title.[8]

Following this, Tielemans largely disappeared from professional motor racing. In 2010, he drove at Zandvoort for MRS Team PZ Aschaffenburg in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany as a guest driver, and in 2011 a single round of the 2011 Blancpain Endurance Series in a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560.[9][10]
