Calvin Hermse is a Dutch driver in the GPVWC who is confirmed for the Wauters Automotive team in the Formula Challenge, and for the Vod:Bul Racing team in the World GT Series.

2012

Calvin was rumoured to join one of the beginner classes, but decided not to because he did not know how to handle the car, and in particular, how to shift manually.

2013

Calvin signed with Wauters Automotive and will be competing in the Formula Challenge competition, and about a month later, he signed with Vod:Bul Racing for the World GT.

Although Hermse was always proud of driving with an extremely low budget compared to others, that would give him trouble as in his first race he ran in 12th, but then discovered an problem with the brake pedal, forcing him to drop to P17, and being unable to start in his second race. The World GT performance was affected by this as well. After being somewhat forced off track during the 2013 Monza GT Race, Hermse had to forfeit mentally already after lap 1, as he was nearly being lapped. 8 laps before the end, the damage got too much, and Hermse had no other choice but then to park his car safely. The 2013 Formula Challenge Malaysian Grand Prix would show improvement, with Hermse being able to make the right call and under tough conditions finish in 13th place, after starting in 28th position. The second race, on the other side, Hermse made the wrong call, with the opposite result.
