Formula Ford
Maassen began his motorsport journey with considerable achievements in Formula Ford, securing the Belgian championship titles in both 2001 and 2002. During 2001, he achieved fifth place in the Benelux championship and improved to finish as runner-up to Jaap van Lagen in 2002, while also ranking fifth in the Dutch championship that same year.
Formula Renault
In 2003, Maassen advanced to Formula Renault, concluding the season seventh in the Formula Renault 2.0 Netherlands. The following year, he elevated his performance to finish second behind Junior Strous. Having taken part partially in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 in previous seasons, he committed to a full campaign in 2005, ending tenth overall. The 2006 season saw him balance Eurocup participation—where he placed 13th—with a strong third place overall in the North European Championship, trailing only Filipe Albuquerque and Chris van der Drift.
Maassen stepped up to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2007 with Prema Powerteam, starting 17 races but not managing to score points.
GT racing
In 2008, Maassen made his debut in the FIA GT Championship, driving a Corvette C6.R for the Selleslagh Racing Team alongside teammate Christophe Bouchut. He secured victory in his second GT race at Monza and concluded the season ranked 13th among drivers.
The following year, Maassen piloted a Corvette for Luc Alphand Aventures but missed events at Spa and Algarve, during which he competed for Sangari Team Brazil instead. Additionally, he achieved second place in the GT1 class at the prestigious 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans with Luc Alphand Aventures.
In 2010, Maassen participated in the inaugural season of the FIA GT1 World Championship, racing for DKR Engineering under the Mad-Croc Racing banner.
