I am Julian van de Coterlet, a young karting sensation of only 9 years old. My adventure in karting started only four years ago, at the age of 5, but since then it has all gone at a rapid pace, or rather, at an F1 speed.
It was in September 2021 when I drove my first lap in Lelystad and then I knew: I like this! And then I started training in Lelystad. Soon everyone noticed that I had an exceptional talent, because I managed to ride the fastest time very quickly. Even when I seemed too small for the sport, I continued to impress everyone. In the lessons in Zwolle, I became without a doubt the fastest of the group. At that moment I knew I had found my passion and from that moment on I was unbeatable.

My enthusiasm for karting soon took shape when I got my first kart, a Rocky kart. Although it was a great experience, it soon became apparent that my ambitions were not easily fulfilled. 6 months later I got my Honda Cadetx160, a faster kart that allowed me to achieve better and better performances.

With each new karting track I discovered, I grew as a driver. In the meantime, I drove different and bigger karts. I raced on tracks such as Spa, Strijen, Eindhoven, Venray, Genk, Mariembourg and I even had the chance to race a few times in Italy. On May 14, 2023, I was the youngest pole sitter ever with my 7 years. This was during IAME Benelux Ostricourt. With my determination and dedication to perfecting my skills, I started getting on the podium more and more often. I dragged in third place at Strijen, becoming the youngest driver ever to accomplish that. Not long after that, I picked up a handsome second place at Venray. Clearly, I have one goal in mind: first place. Together with my mechanic and coach Michael, we are going for gold.

With my young age and already amazing achievements to my name, there is a lot of talk about me within the karting world. With my determination, I am racing on in my emerging career. On my way to that coveted first place!
