My Bio

Hi, I'm Kai Ferner, but you might know me better as KTFRacer. I'm a go-kart driver with big dreams of making my mark in the competitive world of motorsport. My journey is all about determination, resilience, and an unwavering passion for racing.

I was born on the autistic spectrum and experienced global developmental delay, which means I've faced some unique challenges throughout my life. I only started walking at age two and a half and talking at age four, always working hard to catch up with my peers. Sensory sensitivities and social difficulties have been part of my journey, but they've never dampened my spirit or my drive to excel.

My love for karting began unexpectedly at a go-kart birthday party. From the moment I sat in the driver’s seat, I felt a fearless excitement and a natural connection to racing. Encouraged by this newfound passion, I started karting regularly with my dad and soon joined the TeamSport Dunstable Race Academy. My progress was rapid:

  • Within just a month, I reached the advanced level of the academy.
  • In only three months, I was standing on the podium in academy races.
  • At one point, I even held the lap record at the TeamSport Dunstable track, a proud achievement showcasing my speed and skill.

Taking my passion outdoors, I transitioned to karting at Mr Karting, where I continued to hone my technique. My talent gained wider recognition when I entered the prestigious X-Kart Scholarship, achieving a top-20 placement out of 180 competitors. This milestone marked me as one of the sport's rising stars. I further developed my skills with DMAX Tuition at Daytona Milton Keynes and embarked on Karts to Cars coaching with the MPH Karting Academy, where I recently experienced the thrill of driving a race-spec Citroën Saxo.

I actively share my journey and achievements with a growing audience on social media. You can follow my professional Instagram channel @KTFRacer to see my milestones, engage with fans, and watch thrilling videos of my driving on my YouTube channel at KTFRacer. I'll be developing and adding to this official website where you can follow my racing journey, achievements, and upcoming events.

My racing journey is just beginning, but my story is already inspiring others. Despite facing challenges that would deter many, I continue to push boundaries and set my sights on the future. With relentless determination and growing experience, I aim to climb the motorsport ladder, proving that no obstacle is too great when passion fuels the drive.

Follow me, KTFRacer, as I accelerate toward my dream of achieving greatness in the world of racing.
