Career

Porsche competition

After making a brief cameo in karting, in the BNL Golden Trophy, Hartog began his full time racing debut in the 2019 Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux, where he finished in third, picking up two wins, four pole positions and eight podiums, with Bas Koeten Racing. He also made an appearance in the 2019 Porsche Carrera Cup France with the team. He also drove for MRS GT-Racing in the 2019 Porsche Supercup for the seventh round in Spa-Francorchamps, where he finished in 18th.

In 2020, he made cameos in the 2020 Porsche Supercup and the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany for Bas Koeten Racing Team. He came 10th in his appearance at Spa-Francorchamps in the 2020 Porsche Supercup, but as he was guest driver, he was ineligible to score points.

His career perked up in 2021, where he got a full time drive in the 2021 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany for Black Falcon Team TEXTAR. [1] [2] Hartog was one of the standout rookies of the series, as he fought with Bastian Buus for the rookie title, with Hartog pipping him to the title. He also got his first podium in the series at his home race at Circuit Zandvoort.

He also drove in the 2021 Porsche Supercup for three races with Team Parker Racing, coming in points paying positions in Spa-Francorchamps and his home race of Circuit Zandvoort, he was ineligible for points due to being a guest driver. [3] In 2022 Hartog drove in the Porsche Supercup full time with Ombra Racing, scoring points in all races bar the exception of Circuit Paul Ricard, where he retired from the race. [4] He finished 8th in the overall classifications with 43 points and came runner-up to the rookies title.

Hartog also contested the 2022 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany full time, driving for Black Falcon, where he got his maiden pole position in the Red Bull Ring, followed by a second pole a round later in Imola Circuit. [5] He finished the season in 5th with four podiums and 185 points.

In 2023, he drove for Dutch team Team GP Elite in the 2023 Porsche Supercup and the 2023 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. [6] [7] At Zandvoort he would get his first podium in the Porsche Supercup, with a second place, and in the following race, also staged at Zandvoort, he got his maiden pole in the series, which was followed by a maiden win. [8] He finished the championship in 6th place with 75 points.

Meanwhile in the 2023 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, he had a rather successful campaign where he fought for the championship title with teammate, two-time Porsche Supercup champion, Larry ten Voorde. He started his title bid in the first race of the first round at Spa-Francorchamps, where he got a podium and a maiden win in the second race. [9] [10] Hartog got two pole positions at the second round at the Hockenheimring, coming second and first in the races. [11] [12] [13] Despite getting no podiums in the next rounds, he was consistent with points until he repeated a similar exploit to the one he did at the Hockenheimring, in the fifth round at the Lausitzring, where he claimed two poles and won the first race, but would retire from the second one. [14] [15]

In the final few rounds, he would claim two more poles and three more podiums, including a win. He finished the championship in the runner-up position, behind Larry ten Voorde. [16]

In 2024 Hartog joined Kellymoss to make his debut in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America. [17] [18]

GT's

In early 2024, he made his GT3 debut with Dennis Marschall and Dustin Blattner for Car Collection Motorsport in the second round of the Middle East Trophy at the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi. The trio would win the race as well. The young Dutchman would continue with GT3's and would drive for Rutronik Racing with Marschall and Blattner in the Bronze Cup of the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. [19] They finished 31st overall in their maiden race.
