Meet Tessa
From a family day out to a real ambition
Tessa first sat in a kart during a family day out at Inkart Puurs. Her real passion was born at a karting summer camp in 2023 — what started as a fun experience quickly grew into the ambition to develop further in the world of karting.
Since 2025 she has been training with DFK Racing Team. She is known for picking up tips and feedback quickly and applying them straight away on track. After barely six months of intensive training, she took pole position in her very first GK4 race of 2026.
