ARIANA EXPORT

My name is Celine Kautner, I was born on 21.12.2006 and I live in Holzappel (RheinlandPfalz). I have been a motorsport enthusiast since a young age, my first experience was at the age of 9 with taster and training days in a kart.
In 2017 I joined the club AMC – Arzbach e.V. and competed in my first kart slalom runs. From that point on, I couldn’t think myself out of karting or motorsports. My motorsport career so far:

• 2017 – 2020 I was active in kart slalom and was able to take away and gain some valuable experience.
• In 2019 I made 5th place in the club championship and we made preparations for 2020 in the Kart Rookies Cup class. I got my first own kart.
• In 2020 the time had finally come, I did my first basic course in the Kart Rookies Cup in the RS 2 class with a Honda engine GX200 (6.5 hp) and was able to experience my first season on the circuit. Unfortunately Corona came in that year, but nevertheless I was able to gain valuable experience that has shaped me to this day and I ended my first season with a proud 4th place.
• In 2021 I had the opportunity to move up to the next higher class, the SolidBamTillotson Cup (17.5 hp). Also this season was still very limited by Corona. This year I had some technical problems with my kart and despite all the circumstances I could finish the season equal in points with the 4th place finish as 5th in the Junior RS4 class. It should be noted here that we were traveling as a pure family team and my parents had to gain the experience just as I did.
• 2022 came the change to the series X30 Junior (30 hp). I participated in the WAKC and did well for the first few races. So I had the opportunity to participate in my first race at the ADAC Kart Masters. This was not quite as successful, as I suffered a fracture in the 2nd race due to a racing accident. The season was over! Because of this I could not collect any more points in the WAKC and due to illness I did not manage to participate in the two race weekends in Schaafheim and the national final in Ampfing. Nevertheless I reached the 9th place in the WAKC championship. In October 2022, I had the opportunity to drive my first laps in a touring car at the ADAC Talent Day, in Oschersleben. That’s when the decision was made for me.
• In 2023 I will enter the NATC Youngster Cup (NATC = Norddeutscher ADAC Börde Tourenwagen Cup). Since it’s always been a goal of mine to get from the kart into the car. The NATC Youngster Cup is a popular sports series that originated in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben and is aimed primarily at newcomers to motor racing.
