ABOUT ARTHUR

Belgian 🇧🇪 UAE resident 🇦🇪 Born August 2010

Discovered karting during COVID, Arthur graduated from Dubai Karting Academy and raced internationally across the UAE, Belgium and Europe — earning wins, podiums and championships in IAME and ROTAX categories.

In 2025, he made his single-seater debut with AKCEL GP at the F4 UAE Formula Trophy (#99), scoring 3 rookie podiums and 4 top 10 in 7 races. Simultaneously crowned UAE IAME Senior Rookie Champion and debuted in drifting, finishing P2 Rookie in his first event.

On his debut in Endurance, Arthur kicked off his European Fun Cup campaign with a dominant performance at Dijon-Prenois — winning in class in Race 2 and finishing P2 overall out of 40+ cars. The youngest driver on the grid delivered from the very first round.

Arthur's first season in endurance racing with M3M Endurance Academy. The youngest driver on the grid, he won his class and finished P2 overall on debut at Dijon-Prenois, then backed it up with P2 overall at Spa, P6 overall at Charade and the 4th fastest lap out of 156 drivers at Zandvoort. Along the way he raced the Spa 25 Hours — the youngest driver ever to take part — and the 8 Hours of Le Castellet. He closed the year with a class win at the Zolder finale, sealing P2 in class and P4 overall in the championship. Next stop: the Fun Cup World Endurance Race at Daytona, USA.

Discipline

KARTING

Where it all started. Arthur discovered karting during COVID and graduated from the Dubai Karting Academy before racing internationally across the UAE, Belgium and Europe. In just three seasons he collected championships, podiums and a World Finals appearance — building the racecraft, discipline and competitive instinct that now drive his single-seater and endurance career.

2025

Arthur's final karting season — crowned UAE IAME Senior Rookie Champion with 3 wins and 6 podiums while simultaneously making his F4 debut.

The breakout year. Arthur swept the Dubai O Plate, won the UAE DAMC Championship, and took his racing to Europe — finishing P3 in IAME Benelux, P5 in the Championship of the Future and P8 at the IAME World Finals in Zuera, Spain as the UAE flag carrier.

DRIFTING

Arthur added drifting to his skillset in 2025 through the ProDrift Academy — learning car control, throttle precision and the art of going sideways at speed. In his very first competitive event in the UAE Drifting Championship, he finished P2 Rookie and P8 overall, proving that racecraft from karting and single-seaters translates directly to the drift world.

SIM RACING

Arthur competes in sim racing at the Teleios Dome, Dubai's premier sim racing centre. He has won multiple races in the Virtual F1 Series and finished 2nd overall in the championship. Beyond competition, sim racing is a core part of Arthur's preparation — learning new tracks, refining racecraft and sharpening data analysis skills that translate directly to every real-world session.

8H of Zandvoort — Academy Teammates Battle for Pole

The two young guns of the M3M Endurance Academy, Alex De Schepper and Arthur De Doncker, fought each other for pole: Alex took Fun pole, 7th fastest overall. An early spin and a lost rear hood cost the #544 a likely podium, but in his final stint Arthur, just 16, set the 4th fastest lap overall — only three tenths off the quickest times.
