   Cathelain Mickaël

   Date of birth: 16 February 1983

   Lives in Lambersart.

   Telecom engineer.

   He is 1m 78 weighing at 70Kg

   Motivated and hardworking driver.

   Licenced at ASK Métropole (Ostricourt).

   He goes on Nord-Picardie championship on Rotax Max category.

From 1998 to 2005: he discovered and practiced karting

"I began with my father on rental karts and I really enjoyed it. After time, I integrated the Lille Metropole Communaute Urbaine's kart section that in total counts for roughly thirteen members that are mad about mechanical sports."

"The passion of driving came from the races organized by this section; I practically won all of them so I decided to go on championship on a two stroke kart.

Accompanied by Andre, President of the LMCU's kart section, I went to the JPR Racing Kart of Ostricourt to ask for advice. In 2006, the JPR Racing Kart advised me the FFSA formula because of low fees and it could permit me to discover the two stroke karts."

"Since 2007, I pursued the championship on Rotax Max because my weight was more suitable and after two seasons of training (2007 and 2008), I was more familiarized with the category and the materials.

For the 2009's season

"I have a new steel frame Kosmic T11, which is very brisk and equipped with front brakes.

The engine will be the same as the previous seasons to begin with, however; in May, I will may get a new one depending on available budget."

"With regards to driving the kart, I perfected my driving skills with an expert.

This winter, a physical preparation is planned.

I feel myself capable to provide a strong performance next season!"

My hopes

• One podium and maybe more, a victory or more and maybe the rank of the regional championship (i am going too far).
• Being luckier, because the two last seasons, I was incredibly unlucky
• To obtain the help of some Patron so I can participate on prestigious races.
