2024 was a complete success for me. As well as my first days of testing in Formula 4, where I as the ‘fastest man on track’, the eSports races also exceeded expectations. Things went particularly well in the Creventic Endurance Championship, where we competed in the GT4 category. With a third place in the overall team standings, a second place in the drivers' standings and a victory in the Nürburgring Endurance Championship, also in the GT4 class, I could hardly be happier.
Motorsport-wise, 2023 was not my big year. My focus was clearly on my Matura final school exams, but even so, I still managed to turn in some good results.
My first grid starts with EastSide Motorsport. I finished the series in 5th place overall with a total of eight top-5 results. I finished the GT3 World Tour in 15th place overall.
Switch from T3 Motorsport to EastSide Motorsport.
The highlight of the year was when the municipality of Gossau ZH nominated and honored me as Athlete of the Year.
In 2021, I competed for the first time under contract in the pro category of the RU Championship. I was also selected for T3 Motorsport's Talent Development Program and nurtured as a young driver. This year I also competed in the F4 Junior Series, which I finished in 5th place overall. I finished the GT3 Swiss Championship in 10th place.
A successful year for me. I finished all but 2 races of the championship on the podium and was the youngest driver ever at the time to clinch a podium place in the overall standings.
2019 was about a steep learning curve. I had to learn my race craft and build up a solid pace. However, I wasn't able to achieve any real successes.
In 2018, I had the chance to get into an Evotec simulator and do my first laps in a professional simulator. From then on, everything went at a whirlwind pace and I was already on the starting grid of the RU Championship in 2019.
My first simulator - I bought a simulator on which I played Formula 1 games on the Playstation and dreamed of becoming a racing driver one day. However, I realized that I didn't have the financial means to do so.
Competitive sport has always been a part of my life. I started training regularly at the Wetzikon artistic gymnastics club as early as the second year of kindergarten. Two years later, I moved to the Gossau ZH gymnastics club, where I trained with total dedication for seven years. I competed in regional and cantonal competitions and took home several trophies.
At some point, however, I realized that my passion for gymnastics was wearing off. So I tried my hand at other sports. I loved athletics at school and often played football with friends in my free time. But deep in my heart, I knew that my true passion belonged to the world of motor sport.
