René Lammers The latest news about this super talent

Jan Lammers' son is an immense talent in motorsport. The junior has already notched up numerous karting victories and clinched the championship in one of the most renowned karting classes, namely the OK class. René Lammers aspires to enter Formula 1 in 2029.

The carreer of René Lammers

At a young age, René Lammers has already made impressive strides in his racing career. As the son of the famous Dutch racer Jan Lammers, he had motorsport in his blood and began karting at a very tender age.

His talent became evident swiftly, and he spent a significant portion of his youth at karting circuits, where he stood out as a promising young talent. At just 15 years old, René became the European karting champion, confirming his potential in the world of motorsport
 

René Lammers | European champion OK-class

At the age of fifteen, he had already become the European karting champion and now aimed for nothing less than the world title in the OK class. The battle took place at the Italian karting circuit Autodromo di Franciacorta, but unfortunately, he narrowly missed claiming this prestigious championship title.

While the world karting title carries significant prestige, the European karting championship is often considered even more prestigious. The European championship spans multiple weekends, emphasizing the need for consistent performances over a longer period to secure the title, in contrast to the world championship decided in a single weekend.

Lammers regrets narrowly missing the world title, and despite being crowned vice-world champion, the bitter taste of missed glory lingers. With a minimal difference of 0.184 seconds, he secured second place after falling to ninth at the start. A strong comeback race quickly propelled him to second place, but the ultimate world title remained just out of reach. Despite the disappointment, he praised his team for their determination and dedication during the intense race weekend.

René Lammers at the Ferrari Driver Academy

René was invited to participate in the Ferrari Driver Academy, where he spent several days. His future in the junior program is not yet finalized; this decision will be made at a later time. However, if René Lammers is included in the junior program, it opens the door to a promising career in Formula 4.

Furthermore, René's impressive performances in karting have caught the attention of the top echelons of the motorsport world. As for Ferrari, a name synonymous with motorsport, they continue to play an active role in the world of motorsport. They provide talents like René the opportunity to be part of the best teams in Formula 4, Formula 3, and Formula 2, offering prospects for an exciting future in motorsport.

 

The son of Jan Lammers

René Lammers is a promising racer in the world of motorsport, and what makes his story even more intriguing is that he is the son of the famous Jan Lammers, an icon in both the Dutch and international motorsport.

Jan Lammers' career included highlights in various racing categories, including Formula 1 and legendary endurance events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He raced alongside and against some of the greatest names in motorsport history, securing his own place in that history.

Now, René is following in his father's footsteps, determined to carve out his own career in the world of racing. He has already achieved impressive performances in various karting and racing series, proving that racing runs in the family. As the son of a motorsport legend, he faces the challenge of upholding his family name while charting his own path in this demanding and competitive sport. René Lammers' story embodies the legacy, passion, and determination deeply rooted in the world of motorsport.
