It all started in December 2018 with a karting course at an indoor track — and my passion was ignited instantly. I spent a lot of time at the kart track in Marktl, where I also won my very first race. In spring 2019, I got my first proper racing kart and trained intensively with my father on local Bavarian tracks.

2020 brought the first big step: joining DS Corse, my first real racing team. What followed was beyond anything I could have imagined. Out of 11 race weekends, I finished 10 in the Top 5 and 7 in the Top 3. The absolute highlight was my first victory at a Masters race on my home track in Ampfing.

Intensive training sessions in Italy followed, along with starts in the WSK — one of the strongest international Mini fields in the world. As part of the Mac Minarelli International Mini Programme, I also had the opportunity to race directly with the factory in the Italian Championship — multiple final appearances in this elite field were the reward for hard work and dedication.

2021 brought a turning point: after a disappointing start to the German season, I switched to the CV Performance Group with a Kart Republic chassis — and was back on the podium at my very first race after the switch. The highlight came shortly after: pole position and a double victory at the ADAC Kart Masters in Kerpen. In the remaining races of the season, I took pole four times and won every remaining SAKC weekend.

In the following years, I worked my way through the junior classes. In 2022, I moved up to the OK Junior class and finished the ADAC Kart Masters in P5. 2023 was particularly strong: three race wins and nine out of eleven possible podiums in the DJKM. I scored the most points of any competitor — but lost the championship title due to the dropped results rule. A bitter, yet motivating moment.

2024 meant a fresh start and a return to my roots: with Kartshop Ampfing and Drago Corse in Germany, and Gold Kart and Righetti Ridolfi in Italy. Hard, fair racing with a great level of respect between the drivers — and results that left me hungry for more.

2025 brings the next and final step in karting — the KZ2 class. In Italy, I continue my collaboration with Gold Kart and Righetti Ridolfi, while in the DKM I race with the Kartshop Ampfing Racing Team on BirelART. The big goals: the European Championship in Mülsen and the World Championship in Franciacorta.

None of this would have been possible without my entire family and all of my sponsors — thank you so much to each and every one of you!
