Renger van der Zande (born 16 February 1986 in Dodewaard, Gelderland) is a Dutch race-car driver. He is the son of the 1978 National Dutch Rallycross Champion with VW Golf Mk1 1600, the Psychologist Ronald van der Zande. In 2016, van der Zande won his first major sports car championship with co-driver Alex Popow and Starworks Motorsport in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship PC Class. Renger resides in Amsterdam with his partner Carlijn and their daughter.
Having won the 2005 Formula Renault 2000 Netherlands championship with Van Amersfoort Racing, van der Zande drove three races for the A1GP Netherlands team in the 2006–07 season. He raced for the Prema Powerteam in the Formula Three Euroseries in 2007 and 2008, and made his GP2 Series début by competing in the second round of the 2008–09 GP2 Asia Series season for Trust Team Arden, where he replaced Mika Mäki. However, he was himself replaced by Euroseries rival Edoardo Mortara for the third round in Bahrain.
Having not acquired the budget for a GP2 campaign, van der Zande moved into the British Formula 3 Championship, competing for Hitech Racing. On his debut, he won the first race at Silverstone. He returned to the Euroseries midway through the season, as Atte Mustonen had to pull out of the Oschersleben rounds due to health problems. He returned in Barcelona, again replacing Mustonen at Motopark. This was due to the fact that Daniel Ricciardo had sealed the 2009 British F3 title, before the final round. Hitech team-mate Walter Grubmüller overhauled his points tally, and finished as runner-up in the title race. After scoring a point in the first race in Barcelona, van der Zande won the second race from pole position.
