Career
Tielemans embarked on his motorsport journey in 1991, achieving a fourth-place finish in the Dutch Kart Championship and earning the title of Rookie of the Year in the Belgian Kart Championship between 1995 and 1997.
He transitioned to open-wheel racing in 2002, competing with Tomcat Racing in both the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup and the Italian Formula Renault Championship. The following year saw him join MP Motorsport for the Formula Renault 2000 Masters series. In 2004, he secured a contract with German FIA Formula 3000 outfit ma-con, but ultimately participated in the last six rounds driving for Team Astromega. The subsequent year, Tielemans took part in the 3000 ProSeries.
In 2006, Tielemans switched to touring car racing by piloting an Audi A4 for Futurecom TME in the DTM, under the management of Colin Kolles from Midland F1, sharing the team with Vanina Ickx. After three events, he was replaced by Jeroen Bleekemolen. The next season, he competed in the World Touring Car Championship with N.Technology behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo 156 GTA. In 2008, he drove a BMW 320Si for Wiechers Motorsport, concluding the season ranked 20th overall with one championship point and several victories within the independent constructors' classification.
Following a period of limited professional activity, Tielemans made guest appearances in the 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany at Zandvoort for MRS Team PZ Aschaffenburg and competed in a single round of the 2011 Blancpain Endurance Series driving a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560.
