After many years racing with a Bell helmet, it was time for a fresh 1. The last helmet was especially made for the Sebring 12 hours race in LMP2, with WRO racing. This years helmet is a Zamp, which looks like an older model Bell. The brushing is, again, done by Airbrushlijnden, who have created my helmets in the past 25 years! The painting is the typical Milko paint in red/white/blue, but the cobalt blue on top has turned in dark blue/black (heaven), with stars and ‘JM’ in the center, referring to my father, who past away last year november.

2025 just started, in terms of (kart)racing. A solid 10th place at the first KBO cup rentalkart race is a fact. A good result knowing that I’m physically not in the best shape and only practised 2 heats in the past 6 months. A new helmet gas arrived and will soon do to Airbrush Lijnden for the paintjob. 2 new MX24 racing bags are on their way, and I’m going to focus on the first big race in june; the European Championship race in Spa Francorchamps, in Belgium, followed by Ostricourt (France) in June, and Oldenzaal track in september. I’ll also compete in the CoppaRead More →

It’s april now, and I haven’t been racing nor practising much.1 KBO race in march, in which I finished 10th out of 20, which is still quite acceptable in a very competitive group of (local) drivers. Next race planned is the CCK qualifying race, the qualifyer for the big event in Italy, in september.I’ll compete in the masterclass, as I have been doing since 2017. I’ll take it race by race this year, no full calendar.We moved to another city and I started a study, so priorities first.The 2nd part of this racing year might be more interesting, but I’ll tell you about it laterRead More →

June 12th, 2023 I’m back on the grid full-time, this year. The past 2 seasons I only competed 1 race a year. This year I’ll be competing in the Kart World Championship again in july (www.kartworldchampionship.com) so I need a good preparation. To get back in the race rhythm again, I competed in 2 KBO races (Oldenzaal), 2 DRS races (Lelystad) and the first race for the European Championship, in Spa. 3 podiums out of 5 events is the result, till now. The june month I’ll be working on my physical condition, mainly. July will be a full race month: – DRS Lelystad, july 5th.Read More →

After not competing nor doing practise sessions for 13 months,  I competed in the 9th race for the Dutch Championships rentalkarting at the Eefde track, and finished 2nd in the masterclass. I started terrible in the series finishing round 10th place a few times in the first 3 races, but in the 4th race I found the rhythm again and finished 6th. A strong final resulted in 2nd place. It was a tough event, but I’m happy with the result.Read More →

Yes, I won the first race for the 2021 Dutch Rental kart Championships in the Masterclass, out of 60 drivers.After finishing 2nd, 6th, 3rd and 3rd in the heats, and pole-position in race 2, I was allowed to start 4th in the A final (best 17 driver’s) but due to a bad kart with low topspeed, I finished 6th overall.I already had enough points in the heats, to be the winner of the event, so my 6th place was just a bonus.This is my best rental kart result in 5 years, and I’m leading the Dutch championship now, but I won’t compete in the restRead More →
