Ricardo van der Ende (born 13 July 1979 in Poeldijk) is a Dutch racing driver. He won the 2001 Formula Chrysler Euroseries season with the Belgian team of Vortex Motorsport. He also won the Winter Series of the British Formula Ford Championship in 1998 and the Formula Ford Festival in 1999. Later on he went karting and became Dutch champion of the Dutch Rotax Max Challenge in 2003. In 2004 he became European and French karting champion of ICC 125cc. After a switch to single-seater racing in 2004 and 2005 he came in contact with touring car racing, as he competed in the Dutch BMW 130i Cup in 2006. Ricardo became second that year, but crowned champion in 2007. In 2009 he competed in the Dutch GT4 Championship with a BMW M3 GT4 where he became 2nd in the final ranking. After a less successful year in the 2009 Dutch GT4 Championship (6th), he came back to win the Dutch title in 2011. At the final round of the season he became the 2011 GT4 European Cup too, scoring enough points to keep ahead of Stefano D'Aste.
