De Vries graduated to sportscar racing that year, competing in the LMP2 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship with Nederland. He took his first class win the following season at Fuji, before joining Formula E with the recently established Mercedes team in 2019. In his second season, de Vries took multiple victories as he won his maiden World Championship.

Why this record matters
The phrase “dutch racing driver (born 1995)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q771382. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2022, 2023 and 2020.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
