Early years

Lammers grew up as a kid washing cars at a sliding school in Zandvoort. As a 12-year-old he started to show customers how to slide safely, encouraged by sliding school owner and racing driver Rob Slotemaker who quickly recognized Lammers's talent. When he was 16 years old, he started his first race at the local racing track.
