Area 53 Cup – Race 8 🏁 Reverse Layout Edition – 16 Area 53 Cup – Race 8 🏁
Reverse Layout Edition – 16/10/2026

FP: P2 🥈
Quali: P7
Race: P3 🥉

WHAT A RACE NIGHT! 🔥🏎️

With 23 drivers on the grid and a stacked field of strong competition, I knew this was going to be anything but an ordinary race night. With the championship battles heating up, every point counts!

Free Practice went really well, showing we had the pace to fight for the top spots. 💨 But qualifying turned into a disaster. The kart had almost no handling, issues with the front-left tyre and a noticeable lack of power. We could only manage P7, far from what we needed at this crucial stage of the championship.

We put the disappointment aside, reset mentally and headed to the grid ready to fight. 💪 After a good start, I gained a position into Turn 1, but the driver ahead left me with no room on the outside, forcing me wide towards the barrier. Luckily, I managed to keep control and hold on to P6.

With the leaders pulling away, we knew we had work to do. We kept pushing, closed the gap to the group ahead and made our moves through smart overtaking and well-timed strategy.

With just five minutes remaining, the final driver ahead headed into the pits. We timed it right and managed to stay ahead as he rejoined, securing P3 and a podium finish! 🥉🔥

From P7 to P3! Not the championship points we were hoping for, but a hard-earned and well-deserved podium after everything that happened.

We never give up, we keep fighting, and we stay strong until the very end. 💙💛

Congratulations to the other podium finishers, and a huge thank you to everyone supporting me! 🤝

Normal Layout Edition – 2026

FP: P3 🥉
Quali: P2 🥈
Race: P2 🥈

Back after the summer break and straight into one of the closest races yet. 🏁

Free Practice was mainly about getting back into the rhythm and adapting to the track conditions again. I ended the session in P3.

Qualifying started off a little tricky. During the first few laps, the kart wasn’t handling the way I wanted it to, but I kept working on it and managed to get the handling right towards the end of the session. With the last few laps, I was able to put together some strong push laps and set the second-fastest time, securing P2 on the front row. 💨

Starting from the front row, I had a good launch, but P3 had an equally strong start. I had to defend into the first corner, but managed to hold P2. From there, I quickly closed the small gap to the leader and was already on the bumper of P1 within the opening few corners.

After my pitstop, the pace really came alive. 🔥 My lap times were consistently at the top of the leaderboard, and I knew that once the leader made his stop, the fight for the lead was going to be extremely close.

And it couldn’t have been much closer.

Once he exited the pitlane we were side by side heading into Turn 1. With the inside line, I managed to hold the position and take the lead. 🏅

From there, it was lap after lap of defending, attacking and pushing each other to the limit. Eventually, he managed to slip through. With only a few minutes remaining, I couldn’t create the opportunity I needed to fight back and crossed the line in P2. 🥈

The pace between us was incredible. We were the only two drivers consistently running in the 44s, with our lap times differing by just 0.019 seconds per lap. 🤯

A proper battle from the opening lap all the way to the chequered flag. P2 so another podium 💙💛

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. 🤝

Race 2: P8 → P5

🏁 Q3: P5
Race 3: P5 → P6

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 💙💛

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:
