Two trophies for Maxim Rehm in Kerpen

This past weekend, the first race of the year on German soil was waiting for Maxim Rehm in Kerpen. At the start of the German Junior Kart Championship, the junior racer from Germany showed a strong development and is one of the favorites in the fight for the title.


Last weekend, Maxim Rehm travelled with great expectations to Kerpen for the 1,107-meter long Erftlandring. 115 drivers from 16 nations started in the first race of the German Kart Championship. After his recent strong international racing results, he was already considered a favorite for the front ranks before the weekend.


But during the trainings and preliminaries it became clear that motorsport is not always so easy. Maxim lagged behind the competition and was very self-critical in the conversation: "I make too many mistakes today and have to work on myself. 16th place after the preliminary rounds is not the result I had predicted. But we have again meticulously analyzed the data and are well prepared for the finals."


The young driver from Baden-Würtenberg also put his prophecy into practice. In the first final he drove the fastest lap of the race and improved by eleven places. He finished fifth and made it into the cup ranks and was back in the top spot. A hard fight for victory awaited in the second round. Maxim stormed straight to second place and put the leader under great pressure. In his shadow, he finally crossed the finish line in second place, scoring important championship points.


"We are very satisfied with today's results. My team supported me very well and together we found our way back to the top. I am fourth in the championship now and I still have all the chances. The following tracks should suit me additionally", the driver from the British team Ricky Flynn Motorsport was in high spirits.


As early as Thursday, it will continue for him. Then the start of the FIA Kart European Championship will take place in Genk. "I feel ready for the European Championships and I want to attack there again," was Maxim's final fight announcement.
