. He began the season with Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing
, but switched to HVM Racing after the race in Kentucky Speedway
.
, and he competed at semi-professional national level in the Netherlands. His interest in motorsport grew after he was invited to the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix
as a guest of WilliamsF1
. It was 1997 Formula One Champion Jacques Villeneuve
who suggested that he should go for a series such as Formula Ford, as he was too big and too old to race karts. He gave up tennis and focused on racing, joining the JR racing team for the 1999 Opel
Lotus
UK Winter series. He had a successful season, finishing second in the championship after taking four pole position
s, four fastest laps and four wins. In 2000, he competed in the Formula Ford
Zetec Benelux series, finishing 2nd in the Belgian championship and 5th overall with one pole, three fastest laps and six podiums.
championship with FGR Racing. He finished the year fifth in the championship, taking two poles, two wins and nine podiums. He drew attention to himself with a second place finish in the Formula 3 support race to the British Grand Prix
. He then moved to the German Formula 3 championship with Team Ghinzani. He picked up four podiums, but no win. The year also featured a sixth place finish in the prestigious Macau Grand Prix
. Continuing with the team in 2003, Doornbos competed in the European Formula 3 Championship, visiting the podium seven times. He took pole position at Spa-Francorchamps
for the F3 Masters event, and finished 2nd in Korea.
, Doornbos joined reigning International Formula 3000 champions Arden International
for the 2004 FIA International Formula 3000 Championship. Partnered with Vitantonio Liuzzi
, Doornbos claimed Rookie of the Year after finishing third in the championship. During the year, he took a fastest lap and four podium finishes, including a race win at Spa-Francorchamps
.
, it was announced that Doornbos would be the official Friday test driver for the Jordan
F1 team, replacing Timo Glock
, who had been promoted to race duties in place of Giorgio Pantano
, whose sponsorship money had "dried up". Doornbos impressed as test driver for the final few races of the season, and was reappointed with the newly-sold Jordan team for the 2005 season
.
Doornbos completed Friday testing duties for Jordan in all but two of the first 11 events of the year, with French Renault F1
test driver Franck Montagny
testing at the European Grand Prix
, and Jordan being banned from using a third car at the Canadian Grand Prix
after using too many tyres
at the previous race.
race driver for the 2005 German Grand Prix onwards, replacing Austrian Patrick Friesacher
, who had encountered sponsorship issues. In his first Formula One
race, he collided with Jacques Villeneuve
, the man who gave advice to Doornbos to start his career as a race driver. Doornbos raced a total of eight Grand Prix for the team, his best result being a 13th position in the Turkish
and Belgian
Grands Prix.
Doornbos and teammate Christijan Albers
became the first all-Dutch team line-up since Carel Godin de Beaufort
and Ben Pon
drove together for the Ecurie Maarsbergen team at the 1962 Dutch Grand Prix
at Zandvoort
. The teammates, however, were not the best of friends, which made the internal competition only more interesting. As Doornbos became more adapted to the car, he came closer to his teammate and in the last few races, was often the faster of the two.
Effectively, he would become Minardi's last F1 driver, since the team was bought by Red Bull just before the Belgian Grand Prix.
The Minardi team ceased to exist in its previous form at the end of 2005, being bought out by Red Bull
and becoming their Scuderia Toro Rosso
team. Doornbos was unable to find a race drive for 2006, but Christian Horner
, his former F3000 boss, had since been appointed as Sporting Director of Red Bull Racing
, where he was appointed the team's test and reserve driver.
He thus spent most of 2006 testing at the racetracks on Fridays, ready to step into a race drive if either David Coulthard
or Christian Klien
were unable to race. In his role as the Red Bull test driver, he once more showed his talents as a racing driver. In the majority of the Grand Prix tests on Fridays, he was to be found in the top 10, and a number of times he achieved a top 3 time.
At the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix
, he was involved in a controversial incident with Fernando Alonso
, which resulted in the Spaniard incurring a two-second qualifying penalty.
After the Italian Grand Prix
, when Red Bull Racing announced that Klien had been dropped from the team, Doornbos was promoted to the second race driver role alongside Coulthard for the remaining three races. He entered with a bang by qualifying in the top 10 for his first race, in China
. However, he touched Robert Kubica
at the first corner during the race and the delay restricted him to 12th place at the finish.
He was subsequently signed as one of the team's test drivers for , alongside Michael Ammermüller
, with Coulthard and Mark Webber
taking the race seats.

. On August 15 2006, he made the news with a fundraiser for the children of the 'Stichting Geluk en Vrijheid' (Foundation Happiness and Freedom). At a speed of 326 km/h (204 mph), he drove his Red Bull Formula One Car over the highway A7 on the Afsluitdijk
in the Netherlands.
season. He made a successful debut in the series in the first race of the season, the Vegas Grand Prix
. After qualifying 3rd, Doornbos finished on the podium, taking 2nd place in the race. This made him the first rookie
since Nigel Mansell
in 1993 to make it to the podium in his first Champ Car race. A drive through penalty in 2007 Grand Prix of Cleveland
quite possibly cost Robert a chance at his first Champ Car victory, but he still managed a fine second place behind Paul Tracy
. One week later, however, Robert won the 2007 Mont-Tremblant Grand Prix in Canada and as a result took the joint lead of the championship with Sébastien Bourdais
. After scoring this victory, the ESPN broadcast team dubbed him "Bobby D" - a nickname he reportedly enjoys. He later went on to win the 2007 San Jose Grand Prix after an accident during the first lap on turn one left him without his front wing. The accident inadvertently put him on an alternate pit strategy that he used to his advantage and secured the win. Although he impressed many fans and drivers alike with his personality and driving style, Doornbos would end up 3rd in points at season's end, although he did win Roshfrans Rookie of the Year. After the merger of the CCWS and the Indy Car Series was announced for 2008, the Minardi half of the team elected not to take part, reducing HVM Racing to a one-car team. This left Doornbos without a drive for 2008.
, and refusing to drive for uncompetitive teams, Doornbos opted to sit out the 2008 season in search for a competitive seat in 2009. It was announced on 21 May 2008 that Doornbos would drive for A.C. Milan
in the Superleague Formula
, a newly created racing series where the cars are sponsored by football clubs. The club's technical director is the son of Giancarlo Minardi
, former owner of the Minardi
Formula One team under its take over by Paul Stoddart
. Doornbos finished 3rd in the inaugural 2008 season.
with Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing
. Since he had no previous oval track racing experience, he has received coaching from fellow Dutchman
Arie Luyendyk
. Robert has finished no worse than 12th in his first three races but the highlight has been a second place start in his first oval track race
at Kansas
(helped by disqualifications of Dario Franchitti
and Hélio Castroneves
for dipping below the white line during qualifying). Lining up beside his team-mate Graham Rahal
, Newman/Haas/Lanigan cars formed the front row for the first time since Milwaukee
in 2006
. He took the lead after the first round of pit stop
s, but on that first stop under yellow he bumped a stationary tire in the pit stall ahead of him. He was penalised to the rear of the field and was no longer a factor.
On August 4, 2009 Doornbos posted on his official website that he was leaving Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing
effective immediately. He stated that there was the option for him to leave the team after 12 races and he decided to take it. He also said that he would like to stay in IndyCar and would announce his future plans shortly.
On August 5, 2009 Doornbos signed with HVM Racing in the IndyCar Series for the remainder of the 2009 and to drive for the team through 2010, however this did not happen.

. After scoring this victory, the ESPN broadcast team dubbed him "Bobby D" - a nickname he reportedly enjoys. He later went on to win the 2007 San Jose Grand Prix after an accident during the first lap on turn one left him without his front wing. The accident inadvertently put him on an alternate pit strategy that he used to his advantage and secured the win. Although he impressed many fans and drivers alike with his personality and driving style, Doornbos would end up 3rd in points at season's end, although he did win Roshfrans Rookie of the Year. After the merger of the CCWS and the Indy Car Series was announced for 2008, the Minardi half of the team elected not to take part, reducing HVM Racing to a one-car team. This left Doornbos without a drive for 2008.
