"I started driving go-kart when I was nine years old. An important matter was that my club, Joensuu Auto Sport club, was organizing go-karting again after a long break at the same time as I was starting my hobby. It was great to drive on the Ylämylly track in Joensuu Auto Sport Club’s own races and we visited a lot of other tracks with my dad, as well.

The next stages in Raket junior and Raket classes also went very well, and so it was time to steer a stronger wheel in ICA junior. The last two seasons in this class have been a good time to learn and develop, and last season 2006 I came in third place in the Finnish Championships in ICA junior (ICA/J).

This season, 2007, I’ve moved up one class, to ICA, and I'm investing my time mainly in the Italian go-kart series, which gives you the best experience and routine that you can get"- said Toomas.
