Jerry de Boer
Johan "Jerry" de Boer (born 11th February 1997 in Santa Monica, California, USA) is an American racing driver of Dutch descent, and was the runner up in the 2015 F1RDS season. After this, he signed to Astro Racing Stars' management program.
Racing Career
2015: F1RDS
De Boer signed up to Definitely Maybe Racing for the inaugural season of the F1RDS. After a difficult start where the teams visited tracks that didn't suit the Renault engines, he got his first points at Monaco. He retired from the first race at Paul Ricard, but managed to win the second and followed this up with a win at Brno. These impressive wins helped De Boer onto an unexpected title charge, and he managed to win again at Spa-Francorchamps. Although he couldn't manage to win the title, De Boer enjoyed a great end to his season with two podiums at Zandvoort; a result that was welcomed by the fans due to him having a Dutch father.
2016: F3RWRS
After this success, De Boer was a man in demand. Needing someone to manage his affairs efficiently, he signed up to Fusion Motorsports who already managed some successful drivers. Fusion simultaneously engineered a move that would see De Boer move to Octan Young Drivers' F3RWRS team and Finnish driver Jari Lappalainen racing for Definitely Maybe Racing in the F1RDS. Enjoying some reasonable results through the season, he dovetailed the championship with the IFRC series.
2016-18: IFRC/AR3.5
Joining up with Octan's sister team Grands Travaux Inutiles, De Boer produced some strong results after replacing Justin Case at the team, including a win in his heat at Spa-Francorchamps. He remained with the team after renaming to RonDen Racing Engineering for 2017, but struggled to build on his good first-year results and was released from the team after being disqualified at the Lausitzring. Staying in the series for another year, De Boer joined up with the uncompetitive Takagi Racing Enterprises team, managing only four points.
2019-: Indy Lights
De Boer secured a seat at Carlin's Indy Lights team thanks to backing from Rabobank, moving back to America after many years in Europe.
