Yelmer Evert Frans Buurman (born February 19, 1987 in Ubbergen) is a Dutch racing driver.
[edit] Career[edit] Formula KönigBuurman drove in the German-based Formula König championship in 2002, finishing twentieth in the season standings. [edit] Formula Renault Buurman concentrated on various Formula Renault championships from 2003 to 2005, competing in the British, Dutch, European and American series during this period. In the British Winter Series in 2003, he began a four-year association with the Fortec Motorsport team. His most successful FRenault championships were the 2003 British Winter Series and the 2004 Dutch season, finishing third in both. In 2007, Buurman made a brief appearance for Fortec in the World Series by Renault, replacing the injured Richard Philippe for four races. At the second race weekend in which he replaced Philippe, he finished fifth and fourth in the two races. [edit] Formula Three Following two races in British Formula Three in 2005, Buurman concentrated on this formula for 2006 and 2007. In 2006, he finished in fourth place in the British championship and drove in four races in the Formula Three Euroseries for Fortec. In 2007, he switched to the Euroseries full-time with the Manor Motorsport team, taking sixth place in the championship. He also competed in the stand-alone Macau Grand Prix and Masters F3 events in both years. [edit] GP2 Series In 2008, Buurman competed in both the GP2 Series and the new GP2 Asia Series for the Arden team, alongside Sébastien Buemi. He was not originally scheduled to race in the Asian championship, but replaced Adam Langley-Khan when the Pakistani driver decided to focus on his A1 Grand Prix and education commitments and left the team after two rounds of the season. After ten races of the GP2 Series season, Buurman was replaced at Arden by Luca Filippi, who had in turn lost his previous drive with the ART Grand Prix team to Sakon Yamamoto.[1] Buurman has been signed by the newly-renamed Ocean Racing Technology team for the remainder of the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season.[2] He was replaced for the final round by Karun Chandhok however, but he finished 19th in the championship. [edit] Superleague FormulaFollowing the loss of his GP2 drive, Buurman moved to the new Superleague Formula series as a driver for the PSV Eindhoven team. He finished in second position in the 2008 championship. For the 2009 season, he will drive for the R.S.C. Anderlecht team.
