Drivers and team overview


André S. Eriksen has 9 years of racing experience from Motocross in Europe in various classes. After 15 years away from racing the 2009 season was his first year in any 4-wheel series ever. He made impressive progress over the season and finished his rookie season in the NorCal Rotax Master's Karting Chamionship in 4th position with one win and 4 total podium finishes in 9 races.

In 2010 André won the Redline Oil Rotax Masters Karting Championship with 8 wins in 8 races and probably the biggest margin ever in the story of this Championship. In addition to the Championship he was awarded the 2010 Driver Of The year award. Mid 2010 he started to run in the DD2 125ccm shifter class as well and despite he only made 5 races he managed to finish 3rd in the Redline Oil Rotax DD2 Championship with 3 wins, 1 second and 1 third place.

In addition to the Redline Oil Championship André particpated in 4 races in the Challenge Of The Americas scoring two podiums. Only bad luck prevented him from scoring a top 10 finish in the 2010 US Grand National in Newcastle Indiana.

In 2011 he claimed the Rotax DD2 Masters US National Points Championship, NorCal Rotax DD2 Masters Vice Champion with 4 wins and 2 seconds in 8 races. He won 2 rounds of the Challenge Of the Americas and took 4th place in the US Rotax Grand Nationals in Salt Lake Utah (where he was violently pushed off track from 2nd place). He ended his rookie season in Pro Formula cars with an overall 5th in the championship despite not attending 5 out of 14 races.

2012 was André's strongest season so far. He moved up in the ultra competitive 6 speed 125cc Stock Honda Masters gokart class and finished 3rd in his rookie season in a shifter class. He also finished his only 2nd season in any car racing claiming the vice championship in the Pro Formula Mazda with four 3rd places, four 2nd places and never finishing outside top 4. He also claimed 3rd place in the Pro Formula Mazda FCC Naional Championships.
