Harald now runs a go-karting track in Oslo, Norway. Although Huysman had a successful racing career including Formula Ford (He won both the Benelux and European FF1600 titles), the Porsche Supercup and in sportscars, Harald is probably better known for his event and management experience. He was Jenson Button's manager for a while and a great influence on Kimi Raikkonen amongst others. As well as the go-kart track, Harald runs a BMW dealership in Oslo, works as a car importer and is a commentator for Norway's F1 TV coverage. Huysman is, in short, one of the leading motorsport figures - if not THE leading figure - in his homeland.
