Mikko Laine was an amazing guest to have, and also a guest of circumstance as he was simply on a holiday in Asia so we met up and sat down at the KF1 Karting Circuit in Singapore. As this was a bit of spur of the moment podcast, we didn’t have any defined structure or prepared questions to have a chat about rental karting, race karting, simulators, onboard cameras being allowed at race events, and even floorball.

Mikko has a huge amount of experience in karting having competed in the sport since his teenage years, with his competitive career culminating with his win at the Rotax Grand Finals in 2014 in the DD2 Masters category, and 3rd at the IAME finals in the same year.
