Bleekemolen was a Dutch Formula Super Vee and later Formula Ford driver who, due to his access to sponsorship money, found himself placed in a Grand Prix car in 1977 before he was really ready for the task. He was undeniably a quick driver in these lower formulae, but he needed much more experience to compete at Grand Prix level.

To this end Bleekemolen embarked on a full season of European Formula 3 in 1978, finishing fifth in the series, and then, again with the help of his F & S Properties backing, he joined ATS for another unsuccessful sortie into the world of Grands Prix. After that it was back to a diet of Formula 3, Michael plugging away for another three seasons with some good finishes but outright victory proving elusive. The racer in him still remained, however, and for many seasons he was a competitor in various Renault one-make series. He still enjoys occasional outings (such as at Monza in 1999 in a Kremer K8-Porsche), and can take pride in the burgeoning single-seater career of his son Sebastian.
