I am Thomas ‘Thomi’ Rackl and racing is my greatest passion. I was born on 28 December 2007 in beautiful Bavaria with petrol in my blood. This fascination for cars and motorsport became apparent at the latest when I spoke my first word: ‘car’.

Thanks to my father, who used to race motorbikes - and is still my most important supporter and one of my biggest role models - I sat on a motocross bike for the first time when I was just 3 years old. But when I sat in a go-kart for the first time in Wackersdorf in 2015, I realised that two wheels were not enough for me. From that day on, I had a new focus in my life. I finally started kart racing in autumn 2015, initially proving my skills in the Raket Rookie and Mini 60 classes.

This was followed by several victories in the OK Junior class until I was promoted to the KZ2 class in 2022. Since then, I have been able to improve my performance from race to race and make a name for myself in motorsport.

The 2023 season, which was my final karting season, was characterised by many victories, great learning progress and two runner-up titles in the German national and international karting championships.

In 2024, I took a big step into GT4 Germany, the most fiercely contested GT4 series in the world. Together with my team ME-Motorsport and Andreas Jochimsen, I finished P9 in the Junior classification and P13 overall as the youngest participant. In the 2025 season, I will be competing again with ME-Motorsport in the GT4-Germany together with Linus Hahne. I am also sponsored by Motorsportteam Germany and the ADAC Stiftung Sport.

I also pursue my passion for technology, speed and sport in my free time. When I'm not working on classic cars, I do sports such as road cycling and mountain biking, as well as running, strength training and swimming - all to get a little closer to my dream of becoming a full-time racing driver.
