Hannu Karting
His latest outfit... signed by the stars of the Ford team: Mikko Hirvonen, Jari-Matti Latvala, Miikka Anttila and the boss himself, Malcolm Wilson
The beginnings...
Hannu, age 4, goes to the Mika Salo track with me for his first ride.
The tandemkart has a restricted top speed compared to the normal karts and since there was a group of 14-15 testoteron filled local youngsters present, we had to start last.
It didn't stop us overtaking everyone (and even lapping a few)... LOL !
We did go a little trough the grass (flatout) at one moment.
The only reaction we got from Hannu as he got off the kart was to run to the marshall and yell excitedly: "WE WENT THROUGH THE GRASS !"

Now, 5 years later nearly, he's driving himself... And he does so very well.
Not a 'spectacular' drive, but typically Northern: very calm but very determined. Lifting off in a corner? Not diving to the inside if someone "leaves the door open"? You must be joking !!
