Cornelius "Cor" Euser (born April 25, 1957) is a Dutch racing driver from Oss. [1]
After winning several Formula Ford titles in 1980 and 1981, Euser went to the FIA European Formula Three Championship part-time in 1982 and 1983. He expanded his racing in 1984 competing in the British and German Formula Three series. He made his Formula 3000 debut in the final race of the 1986 season at Jarama after failing to qualify for the first race of the season. He made 8 Formula 3000 starts the following year but failed to score points. He finally broke into the points in 1988, finishing 19th in the championship with a 5th place at Brands Hatch. During this period, Euser also participated in an episode of Run The Gauntlet, aired on ITV in the UK in 1988.
Euser transitioned to sports car racing in 1990 making 6 starts in the World Sports-Prototype Championship. In 1991 he competed full-time in both the Sportscar World Championship and DTM and made a single start in the CART World Series for Bettenhausen Motorsports at Laguna Seca Raceway. [2] In 1991 he also made his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut driving for Euro Racing. In 1994 he drove at Le Mans in a Konrad Motorsport GT2 Porsche and in 1995 he became a factory driver for the Marcos racing marque.

He has made several more Le Mans starts and campaigned their LM600 and Mantis cars in the BPR Global GT Series, FIA GT Championship, the British GT Championship, the Dutch Supercar Challenge, Belcar, the Spanish GT Championship, and numerous other endurance races held around the globe. As of 2016 Euser is still an active driver in various endurance races.
