Ho-Pin Tung is a Hero to Racing Fans

Tung was born in Velp, Gelderland, Netherlands, and in 1997 at the age of 14 started kart racing in the Netherlands. He quickly moved up through the open-wheel ranks, doing most of his racing in Europe.

In 2011, he made history as being the first Chinese driver to qualify and compete in an IndyCar event, where his partnership with Mouser all began.
After IndyCar, Mouser’s partnership continued. Tung raced in the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, and even geared up to race in the 2012 Formula 1 Grand Prix support race in the Shanghai International Circuit China. For a brief period, Tung also raced FIA Formula E for Team China Racing. Currently, Tung competes in Le Mans 24 Hours races and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
