Jan de Vroom was one of the co-sponsors of Chinetti's 1957 North American Racing Team, which was based in New York.

Jan loaned his Ferrari 290 MM to Temple Buell for Stirling Moss to drive, who then won the 1957 Nassau race.

At the 1957 1000 km of Venezuela race, Jan de Vroom won the 2-liter class sharing the seat of his Ferrari with Julio Batista. He retired with the same car at Le Mans where he shared the ride with George Arents, one of the co-sponsors of the North American Racing Team.
