"Despite his young age, Alvar Siimesvaara already has 7 years of karting experience.
As the team manager of Kohtala Sports, I can see that Alvar will fight for his first world championship medal and the Finnish championship in the next two seasons. On the international level, I see the goal for this year as reaching the finals and possibly even scoring points."

"Alvar is a young and talented driver who impressed with his rookie season in the OKJ class. Alvar's strength in my eyes is above all his speed and competitive eye, and as the boy grows up, anything is possible. I like Alvar's motivation to practice both on and off the track in a holistic way, which is exactly what motorsport requires - dedication."
