BENJAMIN

Nimi: Benjamin Sylvestersson

Syntymäaika: 16.5.2007

Kansallisuus: Suomi

Kotipaikka: Parainen

Seura: Turun UA

Aloittanut kartingin: 2014

Benjamin on uuden sukupolven autourheilu-lahjakkuus. Paraisilta kotoisin oleva 17-vuotias Benjamin aloitti kartingin ollessaan seitsemän vuotias. Pienistä luokista lähtien Benjamin on osoittanut vauhtinsa ja vuosien määrätietoinen työ on alkanut kantaa hedelmää.

Lähivuosien tavoitteena Benjaminilla on ajaa ratasarjojen kansainvälisiä luokkia ja pääasiassa kansainvälissä sarjoissa Keski-Euroopassa. Pitkän tähtäimen tavoitteena on saada autourheilusta ammatti ja erityisesti koppiauto-sarjoissa Euroopassa.

2025

Benjamin siirtyy alkavalla kaudella Saksan ADAC GT4-sarjaan. Sylvestersson on solminut sopimuksen sarjan kärkitiimeihin kuuluvan FK Performance -tiimin kanssa. Benjamin ajoi testimielessä GT4 Winter Series -osakilpailun tammikuussa Portugalissa ja sijoittui henkilökohtaisessa kilpailussa heti toiseksi!

2024

Benjaminin pääsarjana on Italian GT4-luokka ja autona BMW M4 GT4. Lisäksi tavoitteena on kauden aikana ajaa myös muutama EM-sarjan osakilpailu GT4-luokassa. Tulostavoitteena on voittaa ensimmäisenä vuonna Italian mestaruus GT4-luokassa ja ajaa EM-kisoissa hyville sijoituksille ja olla Rookie-kuskien kärjessä.

2023

Benjamin ajoi Mini Challenge Academy -sarjan Italiassa. Kaksi ensimmäistä osakilpailua jäi ajamatta, koska sarjan minimi ikä oli 16-vuotta. Kauden loput 10 osakilpailua ajettiin, joista tuloksena oli 10 Podium-sijaa, joista 5 voittoa, neljä kertaa oltiin toinen ja kerran kolmas. Sarjan loppupisteissä jäätiin sijalle 2. yhden pisteen päähän voitosta, joten tulokseen oltiin todella tyytyväisiä.

1/4

2022

Ajettiin V1600 luokassa SM- sekä Baltian mestaaruussarja BaTCC. Kolmannessa SM-kisassa tapahtui pieni virhe ja auto katolleen, joten kausi jäi osittain kesken auton rikkoutumisen takia. Saatiin kuitenkin kauden aikana voitto sekä paalupaikka, sijoitus loppupisteissä SM-sarjassa paras Rookie kuski, sekä BaTCC sarjan loppupisteissä oltiin kolmas.

2021

Kausi 2021 meni edelleen koronan vaikuttaessa aikatauluihin ja rajoituksiin. Benjamin ajoi OKJ-luokkaa Suomessa SM-sarjan sekä ulkomailla Exprit-tehdastiimissä WSK-kilpailuja, Champions of the Future -sarjan sekä EM-sarjan. Vauhti oli koko kauden ajan hyvällä tasolla, mutta kilpailukokemuksen puute, varsinkin kovatasoisissa kansainvälisissä kilpailuissa, aiheutti paljon keskeytyksiä. SM-sarjassa tuli onnistumisia ja palkintosijoja, mutta loppupisteitä varjosti tekniset ongelmat. Epäonnisen kauden jälkeen Benjamin teki päätöksen, että karting on nyt taputeltu ja on aika astua uralla eteenpäin.

2020

Kausi 2020 oli korona-viruksen sävyttämä. Kaikkien sarjojen kilpailukalenterit menivät uusiksi ja kilpailut päästiin aloittamaan vasta heinäkuussa. Benjaminin vauhti OKJ-luokassa alkoi pikkuhiljaa löytymään pitkän kilpailutauon jälkeen. Osoituksena tästä esim. Oulun SM-osakilpailun aika-ajon pohjat. Mekaanikkona OKJ-luokassa Benjaminilla toimii Kristian Gleisner. Kristianilla on pitkä karting-ura itselläänkin takana, joten tietotaito on parasta mahdollista ja yhteistyö on jo nyt osoittautunut hyväksi ja toimivaksi.

2019

Kaudelle 2019 Benjamin ajoi X30 Cadet-luokkaa edelleen ja sijoittui sarjapisteissä hienosti toiseksi. Kausi piti sisällään osakilpailuvoittoja, paalupaikkoja sekä nopeimpia kierrosaikoja. Tämä lisäksi Benjamin totutteli jo tulevaa luokkaansa, CIK/FIA:n alaista OKJ-luokkaa yhden SM-osakilpailun muodossa.

2016-2018

Benjamin ajoi ensimmäisen karting-sarjansa vuonna 2016, jolloin hän sijoittui Kartingliiton sarjassa, Cadet-luokan kolmanneksi. Seuraavana vuonna Benjamin siirtyi astetta suurempaan luokkaan, Rotax Micro Max.Vaikka sijoitus sarjan loppupisteissä ei ollut kovin korkealla, osoitti hän nopeutensa saalistaen muutamia erävoittoja sekä podium-sijoituksia. Vuosi 2018 oli teknisten ongelmien sävyttämä luokkien ollessa Rotax Mini Max sekä X30 Cadet. Ainoa valopilkku rikkonaisessa kaudessa oli kotikilpailun voitto Paimiossa X30 Cadet-luokassa.

My first race in the ADAC series. I had a great opportunity to take part in one ADAC race weekend in the Red bull ring. At the begining I had some issues with getting my tires heated in colder weather than I’ve been used to.

Qualifying was a little bit disapointing but I was able to improve the whole weekend and on sunday my race pace was already on a quite good level. We worked hard together with the team and @ugofedericobagnasco and we can be proud of the results. My goal was to be in top15 on both races.

Qualy 1 - P17

Last weekend we had fun time during practices in Misano Circuit.
Saturday morning was a bit rainy and the track was wet during our first practice - speed was good and it was nice to test the new BMW with wet tyres.
Mugello Circuit is one of my favorite tracks and I’m thrilled to start the season from there.
Looking forward for the first race weekend in GT4 Italy throught 22nd-24th of March.
Stay tuned! @promodrivesrl

Testing the new GT4 car

One of my biggest dream came true two weeks ago when I got opportunity to test new bmw m4 gt4 car at Misano circuit in italy.

I learned the car quite quick and the car felt really good.

My target is to drive this car during next season in europe. Calender is still a bit open and we are finalizing all issues in next few months.

On monday I was in Italy testing mini with the mini challenge academy. It was a good and fun day for me. People was professional and nice.
The car felt extremely good and was fun to drive.
I got also driving coaching and I improved my laptimes during the day and the pace were quite good.
I would really want to drive Mini in Italy next season. I hope that i am able to get few new sponsors more for upcoming season.

Track and all facilities were extremely good and also the team where I made my debut.

Race weekend was anyway big dissapointed what comes to results. I was aiming to top 5 but I had whole weekend technical issues with my engine. The team worked very hard whole weekend and made everything that they could. The teams support were awesome.

I liked the team and the car was very good to drive even it wasnt fully working. Now we will see if I get chance to drive another Race still this year. Thanks to @ej_automotive @phracingpoweredby29raceland @fordfiestasprintcup

My plan here was to see where we are with the speed. Pace was quite good but results were not there where I wanted to be. Minis just were too quick to catch.
Now we need to sit down and see how we can have more pace to the rest of the season.
I’m not disappointed to the results but I will improve to the next one!
