Already at the beginning of the season, the racing calendar of the young pilot Maxim Rehm is full. Just two weeks after the good performance at the WSK Super Master Series in La Conca, the driver from Blaubeuren in Germany went to Italy again. In Sarno, the international racing series made a guest appearance as the third stop in the championship. The youngster made a good standing but fell short of his own expectations.
Since the start of the 2021 season, Maxim Rehm has been one of the top drivers in international karting. The protégé of the Ricky Flynn Motorsport Team already gained attention at the start of the WSK season with pole position and running victories and ambitiously looks forward to his tasks with the OK juniors. "We have already proven our speed several times - so I want to be at the forefront this weekend," said the 13-year-old.
Placed 14th of a total of 80 pilots in the junior category, the driver from Germany secured a good starting position for the preliminary races and continued there with skilful catch-up chases. After four top ten results a collision-related failure followed in the last round, which pushed the young talent back to position 24 in the intermediate ranking. "Unfortunately, I am now in the hard-fought midfield. In the finals I have to give everything again."
In the pre-finale, however, Maxim did not find his rhythm quickly enough and lost positions. Being placed 15th, his starting position was 29th for the final. The fast German driver defied his unhappy starting position in the final. From the end of the field, the young racer drove forward to position 21. However, he still missed out on a hoped-for position in the point rankings: "That just was not our weekend. Compared to many other pilots, I made too many mistakes and lost the chance for the front positions. Nevertheless, we have learned a lot again. I thank my mechanic and my team for the good cooperation," the youngster summed up in the evening.
After a short Easter break, Maxim will continue with the WSK Euro Series in Lonato from April 7th to 11th. Two weeks later, the final of the WSK Super Masters Series will also take place at the South Garda Circuit. Currently, the ambitious kart driver is in 11th place in the championship and wants to make a leap forward in the final.
