FIVE SWISS DRIVERS AT THE WORLD FINAL

This year 5 Swiss pilots got the opportunity to represent Switzerland in the final of the world’s best drivers in Valencia.

Between November 22^nd and 29^th they fight for the crown against 280 other drivers. 56 countries send pilots in the 4 categories: Junior (13-15 years), Senior (15+ years), DD2 (2-shift, 15+ years) and DD2 Master (2-shift, 32+ years).

Each category uses identical material and the pilots draw their kart with a standardized Rotax engine which they use for the whole race event. This race modus is unique and it guarantees equal chances for each driver.

The 14-year old Yannik Brandt from Forch/CH did qualify for the category Junior. The champion in the Swiss Rotax Max Challenge showed a staggering performance during the season. The Seniors are represented by the 18 years old Nikolaj Rogivue from Kilchberg/CH, winner of the national championship.

This year, the DD2 category is represented by 2 pilots, Kevin Lüdi and Damian Frizzi.

The most experienced among the drivers are the DD2 Masters with a minimum age of 32 years. The 34 years old Andreas Brändli from Wollishofen/ZH represents the Swiss flag in Valencia
