This page is where I post my racing activities, both in real life and the simulator. I started out sim racing during the pandemic and started karting in 2021. I joined an indoor karting league at my local track and got a lot of racing experience there. I saved up enough money to buy my own kart in 2024 and I did a lot of lapping with it in 2025. I still do a bit of sim racing but I haven't taken care of my setup in a while, I do plan on setting it back up because it's a lot cheaper than karting and I get more experience.

I participated in one of the Ice Kart Challenge races at SH Karting. I qualified 4th out of 12 drivers and finished second in the race which gave me a spot on the podium!

This season I was captain of the Green Machine team. We had two rookie drivers, along with one intermediate driver and two experienced drivers (including myself). Unfortunately one of the rookie drivers dropped out in the middle of the season and we had to find a replacement every race. We finished the regular season in 3rd place which qualified us for the playoffs. We ended up winning the the semi-finals but lost in the finals which puts us in 2nd place overall (out of 6 teams). My personal performance wasn't great, I finished 8th out of 30 drivers. Overall, I was happy with the season and I really liked my team even though we lost a driver.

This was my first competition with my own kart. I knew coming into the race that I wasn't going to be competitive because my kart was by far the oldest on the grid. I qualified 11th out of 12 drivers and finished 11th in both races. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about racing with competitive karts.

I had a pretty bad crash during a lapping session. I was going into a corner with too much speed and instead of loosing the rears and spinning out, my inside wheels lifted in the air, which gave me no control in the corner. I ended up going straight into the wall and dented my front bumper and destroyed my steering column.

For my birthday I was given a race car driving experience at Circuit ICAR. I drove a few laps in a Ferrari F430 and a Lamborghini Gallardo.

I was captain for the Kachow! racing team for the Spring 2025 season of the GoPlex league. This was one of my best seasons in the league, finishing 4th overall out of 30 drivers. My teammate finished just 5 points more than me, in 3rd place. Even if our team had two really good driver, we were last in the league with only 1 win the whole season.

It's hard to do outdoor karting in winter, so I downloaded my local track on my computer and did some sim racing to practice.

This season I was a driver for the Dinoco racing team. We had a really good team, with 3 top-ten drivers. One of the rookies on our team performed really well which is why we were able to win the championship that season. I finished 5th out 30 drivers and my teammate finished just 3 points ahead of me in 4th place.

I was part of the Blue Karting Club team for the Spring 2024 season of the GoPlex league. Our team made it to the finals but we lost in the finals which put us in 2nd place overall. I finished 8th out of 30 drivers overall.
