Charles Zwolsman Jr. (born July 15, 1979, in Lelystad, Netherlands) is a race car driver in the Champ Car World Series. He is the son of former sports car racing driver and career criminal, Charles Zwolsman Sr, who competed in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[1][2]
Zwolsman started racing go karts before competing in Formula Ford, Formula Renault and Formula 3 in Europe. He finished 16th and 17th during his two seasons in the Formula 3 Euro Series before moving his career to the United States.
In 2005 Zwolsman made his debut in the Toyota Atlantic series with Condor Motorsports. The unknown driver made an impression quickly; he was fastest in qualifying in the first race at Long Beach. However, his car failed the technical inspection and he was forced to start last. During the race, he moved up steadily to finish third. Zwolsman went on to win three races that season and clinch the championship over rivals Tõnis Kasemets and Katherine Legge. The newly-crowned Atlantic champion made his Champ Car debut in the season finale in Mexico City for Team Australia.
In 2006 he competed a full season of the Champ Car series with Mi-Jack Conquest Racing, finishing 13th in the season standings with a best finish of seventh place. He did not compete in 2007, or the newly-combined 2008 IndyCar Series
