Kristina Vorndran

When did you start karting?

I started karting 3 years ago when I was 13. I have always liked anything with a motor and wheels. The faster the better.

Every young driver has hopes and dreams to become just like a particular professional or non professional driver, who is that driver for you?

Two of my biggest idols are MotoGP racer Valentino Rossi (take a look at my helmet) and 7-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher.

What is your favorite memory from karting?

Probably like most drivers, my first victory; it was raining, and we were at a new track I have never driven before, competing against drivers with a lot of racing experience. I hope to do that again on a national level!

Do you have a nickname, if so what is it?

I don’t have one, maybe we can work on that, until then I will just be Kristina.

What form of racing do you aspire to?

My goal is to stay in road racing, sports cars or endurance racing. It seems like a lot of my teammates feel the same way. It must be the RJ influence on us!

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Chocolate chip cookie dough all the way!
