More from me

My most disappointing weekend yet… 💔 This one hur My most disappointing weekend yet… 💔

This one hurts. Honestly, I don’t really know how to put this weekend into words.

I’m completely exhausted after this weekend, both physically and mentally. The Belgian Cup was unlike anything I’ve experienced before and, without a doubt, this was the toughest and most disappointing race weekend of my career.

The hardest part is knowing we had the pace. I truly believe we had what it took to fight for a Top 10 in the standings, but the karts we were given, unlucky moments in qualifying, incidents and eventually an almost first ever DNF meant that every time we tried to fight back, something else happened. 😞

It’s hard to accept knowing what we were capable of, but this is racing. We can’t change what happened anymore. We take the lessons, leave the disappointment behind and focus on the next one.

One bad weekend doesn’t define us. We’ll come back stronger. 🏁

A big thank you to everyone who continues to support me through the highs and the lows, especially Fiskcouncil, MG Optics and We Build Online. Your support means more than you know.

📰 MY STORY IN THE NEWS 📰 Proud to share that my s 📰 MY STORY IN THE NEWS 📰

Proud to share that my story has been featured in Het Laatste Nieuws (HLN).

The article talks about my journey in karting, from starting in 2022 to competing at the Sodi World Finals. It also shares my next goal: qualifying again for the World Finals in Finland while working towards making the step into the Mazda MX-5 Cup.

One of the biggest challenges in motorsport isn’t talent, it’s the budget. Even one of the most affordable ways to move into car racing costs around €100,000 per year, which is why the support of sponsors is more important than ever.

Seeing my own story in one of Belgium’s biggest newspapers is something I’ll never forget. I’m proud of everything I’ve achieved so far, and I’m even more excited for what’s still to come.

A huge thank you to HLN for sharing my story, and to everyone who continues to support me on this journey. 🤝

Definitely one of the more frustrating race days so far.

Qualifying and Race 1 were difficult due to a kart that lacked straight-line speed, making it almost impossible to stay with the group ahead.

Race 2 was a completely different story. Great battles for P4 for around six laps, constantly swapping positions. Unfortunately, things became a little unfair in the final minutes and we finished just 0.081s short of P4.

Race 3 was unfortunately similar to Race 1. Once again the kart lacked top speed. On the final lap I got pushed onto the grass in the last corner but luckily managed to hold onto P6.

Not the result I was aiming for, but we maximised the result with the equipment we had. A valuable preparation for the upcoming Belgian Cup. 💪

Final result: P6/13 💪

Big thank you to my sponsors for the continued support 🤝

Zeker één van de meer frustrerende racedagen tot nu toe.

De kwalificatie en Race 1 waren lastig door een kart met te weinig topsnelheid, waardoor aansluiting houden bijna onmogelijk was.

Race 2 was een heel ander verhaal. Mooie battles voor P4 gedurende zes ronden, maar in de laatste minuten werd het wat minder fair. Uiteindelijk kwamen we slechts 0,081s tekort.

Race 3 leek opnieuw op Race 1. De kart miste opnieuw topsnelheid. In de laatste bocht werd ik het gras op geduwd, maar gelukkig kon ik P6 behouden.

Niet het resultaat waar ik voor ga, maar we hebben het maximale uit het materiaal gehaald. Een goede voorbereiding op de komende Belgian Cup. 💪

Eindresultaat: P6/13 💪

Grote dank aan mijn sponsors voor de blijvende steun 🤝

Reverse Edition – 2026

FP: P3 🥉
Quali: P1 🥇
Race: P1 🥇

The reverse layout returned this round and with the slippery conditions it took me a few laps to get back into the rhythm. Practice ended in P3 as I continued building confidence on the track.

Qualifying was where everything came together. Managed to find the pace when it mattered most and secured pole position 🥇

The race started perfectly. From lap one the focus was on consistency and pushing every lap. Slowly but surely I started building a gap to the drivers behind and managed to pull away throughout the race 💪

Crossed the finish line in P1 with a gap of 6.9 seconds to P2 and 10.2 seconds to P3 🏆

A great drive and an even better result. Back to back victories and valuable points for the championship. We keep pushing forward 💙💛

Huge thank you to my sponsors for the continued support 🤝

FP: P3 🥉
Quali: P1 🥇
Race: P1 🥇

De reverse layout stond deze ronde opnieuw op het programma. Door de gladde omstandigheden had ik enkele ronden nodig om opnieuw in het ritme te komen. De vrije training afgesloten op P3.

In de kwalificatie viel alles op zijn plaats. Op het juiste moment het tempo gevonden en pole positie kunnen veroveren 🥇

De race begon perfect. Vanaf ronde één lag de focus op constante rondetijden en elke ronde blijven pushen. Langzaam maar zeker kon ik een voorsprong opbouwen en wegrijden van de rijders achter mij 💪

De finish bereikt op P1 met een voorsprong van 6,9 seconden op P2 en 10,2 seconden op P3 🏆

Een geweldige race en een nog beter resultaat. Twee overwinningen op rij en belangrijke punten voor het kampioenschap. We blijven pushen 💙💛

After qualifying for the Sodi World E-Finals for the second consecutive year, I had the opportunity to represent Belgium once again against 102 of the best electric karting drivers in the world.

━━━

MONDAY – WEDNESDAY | OFFICIAL PRACTICE

From the very first sessions, the pace was there.

On the normal layout, I consistently ran in the top 8 (overall), while on the reverse layout I was regularly inside the top 10 (overall) At one point during the week, I even held the track record.

━━━

THURSDAY | NORMAL LAYOUT

The first race day couldn’t have gone much better.

🏁 Qualifying 1: P7/102
🏁 Race 1: P2 in the A-Final (P7 Overall)

🏁 Qualifying 2: P2 in the A-Final
🏁 Race 2: P2 in the A-Final (P7 Overall)

A fantastic start to the event and proof that we had the speed to fight at the front.

━━━

SATURDAY | FINALS DAY

Everything came down to the final day.

🏁 Final 1: Started P7, finished P6 in the A-Final (P6 Overall)

━━━

FINAL RESULT

🏆 P10 out of 102 drivers worldwide.

Considering the setbacks on day two, fighting back to a Top 10 finish at the World Finals is something I am incredibly proud of.

More importantly, I leave Sicily knowing that the pace was there all week long. We proved we could compete with the very best, fight inside the A-Finals, and belong at this level.

V4 Speed Edition – 2026

FP2: P2 🥈
Quali: P2 🥈
Race: P1 🥇

This edition was raced on the V4 Speed layout, the fastest version and one of the most intense configurations for such a short and narrow track ⚡

Practice already showed how close things would be, missing P1 by only 0.008s. Qualifying became even tighter, with P1 to P3 separated by only 0.004s at one point. In the end we secured P2, only 0.063s away from pole.

The start was going to decide a lot tonight because overtaking opportunities were extremely limited. I got an amazing launch and managed to take the lead into turn 1 💪

But the race had only just started. From lap 1 until the chequered flag it became an intense 3 way battle for victory. Defending, attacking and pushing every lap for 20 minutes straight. A few close moments for us, but definitely exciting for the spectators watching 👀

Managed to hold on and bring home the victory: P1 🏆

Amazing night, amazing battles and an important result for the championship. After a difficult start of the season, we are back in contention 💙💛

Huge thank you to my sponsors for the continued support 🤝

🏆 4H Endurance Race Recap 🏆 What a race. What a c 🏆 4H Endurance Race Recap 🏆

What a race. What a comeback.

The day started in very tricky wet conditions during qualifying 🌧️ I went out first to test the grip levels, but the track conditions made it nearly impossible to put a proper lap together. We switched to my dad afterwards, but with very little time left he also couldn’t get a clean lap in. We had to settle for P26 out of 40 teams.

Then came the Le Mans start. I took the opening stint and immediately managed to gain a lot of positions in the first laps, climbing all the way up to P17/40 💪

But on lap 4 disaster struck. The driver behind pushed us straight into the gravel and we got completely stuck. We lost massive amounts of time and dropped all the way down to P38/40. At that point things were looking really bad, especially because after only 20 minutes we were already getting lapped.

Then came the turning point of the race. My dad went out for his wet stint and honestly drove an incredible race 🌧️ While others struggled with the conditions, he kept finding pace lap after lap and slowly brought us back into contention.

After multiple pitstops and driver changes, we crossed the halfway point already back in P13/40. From that moment on we knew anything was possible if we kept pushing.

As the final hour started we were in P7/40, the conditions slowly became dry again and the race completely changed once more. We kept fighting forward and with only 15 minutes left we came in for our final pitstop while running P3/40.

Everything came down to the last stint. Full focus. Maximum push. And somehow, after everything that happened earlier in the race, we crossed the finish line in P1 overall and P1 in class 🏆

Honestly, this is something we never expected after the horrible luck at the start of the race. Mega proud of the team and especially my dad for that unbelievable stint in the wet conditions 🤝

Huge thank you to our sponsors for making races like this possible. This definitely won’t be our last endurance race 👀

🚨 A NEW ERA FOR OPTICZZ RACING STARTS NOW 🚨 Proud 🚨 A NEW ERA FOR OPTICZZ RACING STARTS NOW 🚨

Proud to finally reveal the complete new 2026 Opticzz Racing outfit.

From the helmet design to the suit, gloves and racing shoes, everything was designed to perfectly match together as one complete identity for the new season.

The bright yellow, deep blue and white tones work perfectly together and give the full outfit a clean look on track. While entering a new era for Opticzz Racing, we still kept elements from previous designs alive through the signature gear and flower patterns that have become part of the brand over the years.

Seeing the full package finally come together like this is honestly unreal.

None of this would have been possible without the support of my amazing sponsors and partners 🤝

Huge thank you to:
Mike Collier – Fiskcouncil+

🚨 EEN NIEUW TIJDPERK VOOR OPTICZZ RACING START NU 🚨

Trots om eindelijk de volledige nieuwe 2026 Opticzz Racing outfit te tonen.

Van het helmet design tot het racepak, de handschoenen en raceschoenen, alles werd ontworpen om perfect samen te komen als één volledige identiteit voor het nieuwe seizoen.

De felle gele, diepe blauwe en witte kleuren werken perfect samen en geven de volledige outfit een strakke uitstraling op het circuit. Ook al gaan we een nieuw tijdperk in voor Opticzz Racing, toch blijven elementen van eerdere designs aanwezig via de herkenbare gear en flower patronen die ondertussen deel zijn geworden van het merk.

Alles eindelijk samen zien komen voelt echt onwerkelijk.

Dit was nooit mogelijk geweest zonder de steun van mijn geweldige sponsors en partners 🤝

Een enorme dank aan:

Race 3: P7 → P6

Definitely one of the more frustrating race days so far.

For qualifying and Race 1, the kart lacked some grip and overall balance in the high speed corners, making it difficult to really push and stay connected to the group ahead.

For Race 2 and 3, I somehow received the exact same kart again, even though that normally shouldn’t happen. Unfortunately, it had major top speed issues.

In the corners I could consistently close the gap and make moves, but on every straight I immediately lost the ground again because of the speed difference.

Even with the difficult karts, we still had some really fun battling moments out there. These situations teach you a lot and help you improve racecraft and consistency every lap.

Very difficult races, but still gave everything until the final lap.

Final result: P6/12 💪

Big thank you to my sponsors for the continued support 🤝

Zeker één van de meer frustrerende racedagen tot nu toe.

Voor qualifying en Race 1 miste de kart wat grip en algemene balans in de snelle bochten, waardoor het moeilijk was om echt te pushen en aansluiting te houden met de groep voor mij.

Voor Race 2 en 3 kreeg ik opnieuw exact dezelfde kart, terwijl dat normaal niet de bedoeling is. Helaas had deze enorme topsnelheidsproblemen.

In de bochten kon ik telkens terug aansluiten en plaatsen goedmaken, maar op de rechte stukken verloor ik onmiddellijk opnieuw terrein door het snelheidsverschil.

Ondanks de moeilijke karts hadden we toch enkele leuke battle momenten op de baan. Uit zulke situaties leer je enorm veel en het helpt om racecraft en consistentie verder te verbeteren.

Moeilijke races, maar toch alles gegeven tot de laatste ronde.

Eindresultaat: P6/12 💪

Grote dank aan mijn sponsors voor de steun 🤝
