ABOUT LUKAS

The Young Racer
Chasing Big Dreams

Lukas Vanderheeren, born on January 22, 2016, in Roeselare (Belgium), currently lives in Kortrijk. He discovered his passion for motorsports at just seven years old, getting his first taste of karting at Worldkarts, an indoor track in Kortrijk. Less than two years later, Lukas is already competing for top positions in major karting competitions across the Benelux and France.

His rapid rise through a fiercely competitive field hasn’t gone unnoticed. Teaming up with his father and CRG Belgium, Lukas has become a force to be reckoned with—securing already multiple podium finishes throughout the 2025 season including a win at Ostricourt.

    GK4 Kerpen: fast with highs and lows

    Kart-Club Kerpen is a special track, a track with a lot of history. Home of Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, 80% full speed, cutting corners being the normal.

    Trigger happy at our home race in IAME Series Benelux

    Ostricourt did not get us the result that we wanted to achieve. We had to start chrono from the 22nd place after the lottery – not the biggest issue – yet when Bruce Chirino and myself were going for a fast lap we crashed with a driver who managed to spin for 2nd time already…

    GK4 round 2: Never hold back

    GK4 round 2 at Genk is in the bag and we’re done for three weekends of back to back racing action. We were quick thats for sure, but it wasn’t good enough to secure a podium. In heat 1 we had the left line during the start, which was slower, and pushed us way back…
