7. His mother, grandfather, and uncle are also racers
Or perhaps Max is simply better than Jos? It may be because he got extra gene from his mother, who was also a racer. According to Wikipedia, she competed in Karting.
Max’s grandfather, Paul Kumpen, was Belgian national rally-cross champion. Paul is now the director of the building company Kumpen and president of VOKA Limburg.
His uncle, Anthony Kumpen is currently racing in NASCAR. What a family of speed! Growing up in the middle of great racers definitely gives Max the advantage of becoming what he is today.
Anthony Kumpen is competing in NASCAR Whelen Euro Series with PK Carsport team. They won the overall race in 2014 and came 4th in 2015.
