Cock Kool decided to make serious business of his sons Ferdinand and Mervyn’s future in motor racing by creating the MultiPromo foundation. This led to the creation of a racing team, starting its first races in Formula Ford.

The team moved into a new workshop in Oudenbosch. This made MP into a real racing team: it would stay in Oudenbosch until 2011, at which moment the workshop had finally become too cramped for the team’s hugely expanded activities.  

MultiPromo strengthened its Formula Ford line-up with the talented Vincent van der Valk, the team now possessed two drivers capable of winning. And they both did: Walter van Lent won at Spa while Van Der Valk triumphed in ‘the big race’ during the Marlboro Masters weekend at Zandvoort. For the..Read More

1999 was a year of transition for MultiPromo. Or even more dramatically: the team almost closed its doors. Kool did not have any drivers to start the seasons with, while his founding partners all left the team. Despite the legal kerfuffle in the run-up to the Whitsun Races, Kool’s bid..Read More

After the team’s remarkable phoenix-from-the-flames act of 1999, MultiPromo was ready to stake its claim on the 2000 Dutch Formula Ford title. Patrick Koel got a new full-time teammate in Ferdinand Kool, and indeed Koel proved triumphant in the end.  

With Patrick Koel having taken the title and leaving the team, Ferdinand Kool became the team’s new number-one driver. The founder’s son got most of the attention, as Kool’s new teammate Michael Koel (Patrick’s cousin) did not take part in every race.  

MP had already claimed the Dutch Formula Ford 1800 title in 2000 but in 2002 it would display unparalleled dominance. Driving the older Mygale chassis, Jaap van Lagen proved unbeatable, especially during the first part of the season. Teammate Dillon Koster shared in the team’s joy by taking one more..Read More

Eight years after the team was founded, MultiPromo was ready to take up a new challenge in 2003. Led by Dick van der Wilt, drivers Ferdinand Kool and Olivier Tielemans faced battle with the likes of Paul Meijer, Junior Strous and Giedo van der Garde. Kool won once, at Zandvoort,..Read More

MP Motorsport decided to concentrate its efforts on one category again. The team waved goodbye to Formula Ford, the formula in which MP had grown into a fully-fledged motorsport outfit. For the next two years, the national Formula Renault championship would be the team’s focus.

MP Motorsport joined forces with Bas Lammers. The karting star was eager to make the jump to car racing and chose MP to do so. He got support from a sponsor that would become hugely important for MP Motorsport’s future: De Jong Packaging. Henk de Jong had been Lammers’ sponsor..Read More

MP joined forces with Nick Catsburg, the reigning Formula Ford Benelux champion. With Catsburg, the team was able to battle out in front in the NEC. Catsburg helped the team to a flood of top-ten placings, with fourth at Hockenheim as best result.    

After a thrilling NEC season in 2007 the team was eager to move up to Formula Renault’s highest level: the Eurocup. It was handed a wildcard for the Spa meeting, and the unexpected happened: Paul Meijer took the spoils in the second race of the weekend, having done possibly the..Read More

With MP Motorsport having secured a spot in Formula Renault 2.0, it was time to consolidate its position in the championship. In 2009, the team started off with Daniel de Jong and Nigel Melker, the latter having moved over from Van Amersfoort Racing. The two would race in both the..Read More

MP Motorsport again focused on the NEC and the Eurocup. It would be an utterly successful NEC season, with Karl-Oscar Liiv taking two wins at Assen and Daniël de Jong also winning at the Nürburgring. At Brno and Assen, the Dutchman also left his calling card with a second place..Read More

A brand new category was added to MP’s activities: Formula 4. Its debut season in the SMP NEZ and Spanish F4 championships would prove to be highly successful.
