MOTORSPORT

I started my motorsport career in 2013 in the Crosskart series, which is raced together with the Finnish Rallycross Championships. I was the youngest driver in the series being only 10 years old. I achieved many good results in the series, including two silver medals in the championship.

When I was 12 years old, I started to race with a Renault Twingo Super1600 car. Already in my first year, I won the junior championship in the Estonian Rallycross Championship series. I also competed in the Rallycross European Challenge, and made history by being the youngest ever winner in series.

In 2017 I made a contract with Koiranen GP to race in the Formula 4 NEZ and Formula 4 Spain series. During the season I attended multiple tests and raced in 12 Formula 4 races. Even though I didn’t have previous experience in circuit racing, I achieved three podiums during the season. Eventually, I was 9th in the series. During this season I became one of the most promising drivers in Finland.

In 2018 I was chosen to be part of the Flying Finn Academy, which was the junior national team for the Finnish Motorsport Federation AKK and was supported by the Finnish Olympic Committee. I also made a contract with Set Promotion for three different series. The first one was RX Academy On Ice, which consisted of four races in Sweden and Norway. I was 4th in the series. The season’s main focus was on RX Academy -series, which had six races in Sweden and Finland. I won the championship.

I also drove in the RX2 -series, which was raced together with the Rallycross World Championships. I attended six race weekends, and my best result was in France, where I was second.

In 2019 I raced a full season in the RX2 series. During the season I was on the podium twice and ended up being 5th in the championship.

In the winter of 2020, I raced in three rallies. I drove the Ford Fiesta R2 in the Ford Motorcraft team. In the spring I attended a test day at Circuit Paul Ricard with a BMW M6 GT3 car. As a result of the test, we made a two-year contract with the Walkenhorst Motorsport team. In 2021-2022 I mainly raced in Nürburgring Langstrecken Series (NLS) and achieved multiple podiums. I also actively participated in tests.

SIMRACING

I had my first touch with simracing in 2017. Mr. Rallycross Matti Alamäki introduced me a simulator he had designed, and in no time I got myself a simulator from Alamäki.

In 2019 I joined the SET Esports team. The team leader Jussi Pinomäki got me the right to attend the iRacing Rallycross World Championship -series. I attended the series without qualification as a “wildcard”. I won the first round of the series and after a successful season, was crowned as World Champion.

In 2020 I joined Williams Esports, which is managed by the Williams F1 team. I have mainly competed in different kinds of circuit racing series with GT3 cars. I have achieved multiple wins in different series, the biggest of which has perhaps been 3rd place in the 24h Le Mans Virtual 2023, which is the biggest simracing competition in the world.

I’m an active simracer and is developing all the time. I want always to maintain simracing as part of my job and career.

Significant achievements in simracing:

• 2nd place in 24h Nürburgring 2020
• 2nd place in iRX All-Star Invitational Series
• 3rd place in 24h Le Mans 2020
• 3rd place in 24h Nürburgring 2021
• 3rd place in 24h Le Mans Virtual 2023
• Multiple wins and podiums in DNLS series 2020-2023
• Raced in the Le Mans Virtual -series in 2021 and 2022

ME

I was born in 2002 and spent my childhood in Lohja, which is a town near Helsinki. I have been told that already in young age I was a happy and positive person. I also have always been a really calm person who doesn’t startle by little things.

My interest in cars started at a very young age and already at 2 years old, I collected small toy cars. When our family went on trips, I packed my suitcase full of the cars and that’s all I needed with me. When I was 3 years old, I already knew all car brands.

From the age of 4, I went to all of my dad’s motorsport races. I watched the races closely and learned to analyze motorsports at an early stage. When I was 10 years old I started my motorsport career, for which I have given my all and my only goal is to succeed in motorsports. So the work is continuing.

Right now I’m living in Germany, precisely in Melle. I’m a passionate athlete also outside of motorsports. One of my favorite sports is skiing, but I also go to the gym and jog regularly.
