The long 2025 racing season for Team Carrera Classic finished at Kymiring in Finland on September 20-21. Our season started with 2.0 Litre Cup in Barcelona in March, or actually with test drive already in February in Kuusamo on ice. We continued the season in Spa and Dijon. Then came Le Mans Classic in July. We drove the Historic Grand Race at Ahvenisto in August and finally the Historic KymiRace. In 7 months we have raced and tested on 23 days on track and in total we got about 3300 track km.
The season start was difficult in Barcelona, Spa was neither easy for us. Both were wet races. In Dijon the speed was good. Risto even lead the 2.0 Litre Cup race before the driver change. Jussi drove Le Mans alone and that went fine. 9th in the handicap race out of 70 + cars was good. Ahvenisto race was also wet and due to self generated driving mistakes “the race was bad, but the car was good” as Kimi used to say. Kymiring was again a wet race on Saturday, but dry on Sunday. The results were good. We won both the wet and dry F/B class races. Overall the season was good for us. Somehow it feels that it has now been more wet races during the season than before. It is either the climate change or the fact that some of us are getting older and would prefer more the dry races.
