THE STORY
Carsten Soer
Carsten Soer was four years old when he fell in love with motorsport — trackside at Brands Hatch in England, watching the old Mini Austins race with his father. When the family moved to France, a few rental sessions at Kartland turned into something he couldn't let go of. He kept asking to go back, so his parents bought him a kart: a battered old KPR machine that had once belonged to Alessandro Giusti. Éric Chappard, who ran Kartland, told them it was time to start racing.
He took a podium in his very first race, in 2021 — and hasn't slowed down since. Coached from day one by his father, his first mechanic and biggest supporter, he earned a name that follows him everywhere: the metronome. In Brittany they call him the alien. Two ways of saying the same thing — lap after lap, wet or dry, he simply doesn't make mistakes.
Today he races for Kart Pro Racing in the French Nationale category, leading two championships. But karting stopped being a hobby a long time ago. He and his kart are one — and now the goal is the top.
