Profile: #9 Mike Beckhusen (D) – Rookie

After his first steps in karting, Mike Beckhusen changed to touring cars at an early stage – earlier than many others. Already at the age of 15, he contested a one-make cup in Poland. Last year, he entered the ADAC TCR Germany as the youngest driver. This year, the Berliner wants to compete with the same material and therefore is trying his luck in the Audi Sport TT Cup. “I expect to develop my talent from this series. The professional environment also convinced me,” says the 17-year-old racing driver. He admits himself that he likes racing in the rain. Away from racing, his interests are diverse: wakeboading, snowboarding, basketball and playing ‘Skat’, a German card game, as well as his guitar.
