OK Junior Gokart racer from Denmark. Competing in Danish Karting League championship in 2025. Watch my journey here, see what race weekends look like and how I maintain my kart.
Friday training was amazing and I was blowing up personal best times and setting some serious lap challenges for the rest of the team.
Then Saturday, morning training was awesome and I was sitting in the top 4 positions. We put on new tyres for Quali and it all went to sh$t!
So apparently, this is a thing in Sweden. They don’t hand out tyres from the same batch on race days. So this means that the tyres can vary in performance.
My training tyres were perfect and the rest of the team had a different batch. Then it all swapped around come qualifying and now I am slower and my team mate Elliot now sets poll for the day! 🤯
Then comes the psycho weather, we started in sunshine, rain for a few heats, then back to intermittent sun. It certainly mixes up the field!
All in all, amongst the frustrations I had fun. Realising my tyres were a major issue, I gave into the fact I could only do my best and enjoy the karting and battles.
I came 12th out of 18 in total. Kissing my podium plan goodbye after quali told me “not with these tyres”.
Hey Guys, Welcome to my community space. The place we talk all things racing, whether it is on a real track of a virtual one, this is where we let our opinions run free.
Went to Copenhagen today to visit Mærkbare store, looking for some new summer shoes. Mærkbare have 2 stores in Copenhagen and are really helpful in helping you pick the perfect barefoot shoes for your needs.
Afterwards we watched the F1 movie at IMAX. Absolutely worth watching! Man, did it make me want to go racing though 🤣

My lucky mascot (Baggio) is going back to the luck shop because he is defect and doesn’t work!
Just had the worst race weekend ever! So many mechanical errors I’ve lost count. Basically, I just need to fund a brand new kart and parts at this point.
I see why this is a rich man’s sport. I just hate the unfair injustice of not being a millionaire!

Next race is in Kristianstad in 2 weeks.

Sorry! I understand it has been a long time since I released a video.
Summer holidays got in the way and delayed everything so now I am behind on editing. I do have 3 videos to finish and release.
Vojens practice, DM Vojens and also SM Barmosen.
Please bear with me while I work on getting these videos and I thank you for your patience. 🙏
