European Championship Round 2 last weekend, June 19-22 in Sarno-Napoli 🇮🇹
Struggled to find the right setup and pace, and the steaming hot weather didn’t make it any easier. Still, we gave it everything we had and managed to fight my way into the finals, finishing P20 out of 36 finalists – I’ll take that after all the challenges!
Also happy with clean driving throughout the weekend – no penalties, no collisions 🙌🏻

Thanks for the hard work and support all weekend: @salvatore_rendo_kartassistance @crgfactory @galiffakart 🙏

Finnish Championship @kartingsm Round 1 last weekend in Pori. Happy with the speed, even though the results didn’t quite reflect our true potential due to some misfortune on the track. Still, a solid amount of points secured.

Now time for some active recovery — next up: Italy next week for the European Championship! 🇮🇹

Thanks for the weekend @ts.saarinen @kristiangle @toni.vilander @rsj_jaatinen @jmpajuranta @juhomikaell @porinfkkerho and photos @frida_photographs 🙌🏻

First round of the European Championship done in Valencia! 🇪🇸

The weekend was full of big highs — and some bitter lows.

Great result in qualifying: P2 in my group! 🔥
In the heats: P4, P5, and one DNF due to a first-lap crash that wasn’t my fault.

Started Super Heat from P9 and crossed the line in P4.
Final: started from P12, fought my way up to P6. But — on the second to last lap, a racing incident with another driver sent us both off track. I managed to continue and finish 6th, but two hours after the race, I was disqualified due to the contact.

Tough one to swallow and the penalty feels unfair — but it is what it is.

The pace is there, and the trust in the process with my team and mechanic is stronger than ever. Fired up and ready for the next round!🔥

🇪🇸 Valencia Fia Karting Championship. European Championship round 1. @crgfactory @galiffakart @rsj_jaatinen #flyingfinnacademy

Cotf Valencia 7-10.5.2025. A good end to a tough weekend. We were lacking speed troughout the weekend but at the end we were happy with the speed and setup we got into the kart. Heats and prefinal were good but hard racing with others. Couple of mistakes in heats costed us to lose some positions overall and first lap contact in prefinal put us back in p15 to start on final. Final went really well we finished it in p10 but after penalties we were p8. Really nice ending to the weekend and now couple of resting days and back to the track on europeans.
Big thanks to @crgfactory @salvo.rendo @salvatore_rendo_kartassistance @galiffakart @alvar.siimesvaara 📸@sportinphoto

First race of the season at WSK Franciacorta last weekend! 🇮🇹
I was happy with my speed and made it to the finals among the top 36, placing 26th after the heats out of 89 drivers.
Unfortunately, another driver pushed me off the track, forcing me to retire in the final. Tough luck, but onto the next! ��👌🏻

Big thanks:

Last weekend I had the opportunity to race in the Iame series in Alahärmä, thanks to @toni.vilander 🙏🏻
And what an eventful weekend it was! The mechanics worked hard, and we finally got the speed right. Sunday’s battle for the win unfortunately ended in retirement on the last lap - but before that I managed to showcase my skills 🙌🏻
Overall great weekend anyway!

KZ European Championship, last round / Val Vibrata 🇮🇹

What a race with @salvatore_rendo_kartassistance ! Qualifying was not the best possible (p14), but I was confident and managed to gain several positions in each heat. Made it easily to the final, started from 18th place. Had a good start, and was already challenging for a top 10 position when the chains on my car broke due to a rock on the track, ending my race. I finished in 27th place overall. Despite the setback, I left the weekend with a positive feeling - I had the speed and confidence and it felt gooood 🔥

Finnish Championship P2 🥈🤩
This season had many ups and some downs, but the last two races were nearly perfect, finishing both with a P1 🏁 .
( I was in second place in the series from the start of the season, but it wasn’t until after the first final last Sunday that the silver medal was secured - thanks to my fellow drives for good racing!)

Big congrats to my teammate @paavotonteri for winning the championship 🏆 and thanks for all the advice throughout the season—much appreciated!

A big thanks to the team @rsj_jaatinen & mechanic @rasmusmarkkanen, @galiffakart and @ts.saarinen who made this happen! 🙌🏻

Not to forget my sponsors and family - your support means all! 🫶🏻

@kartingsm Pori 27-28.7.
Strong performance but also some bad luck last weekend in Pori. However, I managed to overcome the bad luck and collected a good amount of championship points. (I am in second place in the Finnish Championship standings )

Grateful for my amazing mechanic @rasmusmarkkanen and team @rsj_jaatinen 🙏🏻

Special thanks to @porinfkkerho and the volunteers for organizing a great race once again 🤩

Alvar Siimesvaaralle on nuoresta iästään huolimatta kertynyt karting kokemusta jo 7 vuoden ajalta.

Kohtala Sportsin tallipäällikkönä näen, että Alvar tulee taistelemaan seuraavan kahden kauden aikana uransa ensimmäisestä SM-mitalista sekä Suomenmestaruudesta. Kansainvälisellä tasolla tämän vuoden tavoitteeksi näen finaalipaikkojen saavuttamisen ja mahdollisesti jopa pistesijat.

Jussi Kohtala,

Kohtala Sports

"Alvar on nuori ja lahjakas kuljettaja, jonka rookie-kauden näytöt OKJ-luokassa vakuuttivat. Alvarin vahvuus minun silmissäni on ennen kaikkea hänen nopeutensa ja kilpailusilmän lisääntyessä ja pojan kasvaessa kaikki on mahdollista. Pidän Alvarin motivaatiosta harjoitella sekä radalla että radan ulkopuolella kokonaisvaltaisesti, mikä on juuri sitä, mitä autourheilussa vaaditaan - omistautumista."

Rasmus Markkanen, mekaanikko
