Tim Biesbrouck’s Summary
At the age of 16 I discovered the joy of writing and practicing (online) marketing. Combined with my passion for motorsports and the curiosity of the world wide web, I started an online motorsports medium. It fortunately became one of the leading motorsports websites in the Netherlands. I soon got involved in writing press releases for successful drivers, teams, events and products as well.
Halfway 2008 I received my first real insights in the world of sustainable racing at Formula Zero, world's first championship powered by hydrogen fuel cell technology. Until present I worked on other (championship) events and PR/Business Development related projects. Currently I'm researching the (green) future of motorsports.
A great highlight was being selected as the overall winner of the 2009 Bridgestone e-reporter contest. I attended the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix and wrote race reports and features for the Bridgestone e-reporter website. My diaries were also been published on Formula1.com.
I'm aiming to extend my work in motorsports on an international level, in journalism and/or marketing/PR.
