And all the drivers..
I began karting in 2007, competing against the likes of now Le Mans podium finisher Charlie Eastwood. In 2010, I won the KF3 Championship in Ireland and had the opportunity to race alongside top-tier talents such as Alex Albon, Nyck de Vries, and others. While I didn’t have the funding—or perhaps the raw talent—to reach the heights they did, my passion for endurance racing, especially the 24 Hours of Le Mans, never faded. I shifted my focus to endurance karting, where I’m still chasing that elusive 24-hour win. Maybe one day. In 2023 I won the Dutch Pro Kart Endurance Championship.
