My Name is Leonard Staashelm! I am 14 years old and live in Hamburg, Germany, where I attend the Gymnasium Hochrad.
Besides my hobbies basketball und golf my main passion is motorsport (karting since I was 5 years old).
In 2024 I started my autocross career competing in the NAX-Cup finishing the season in 3rd place of the championship.
2025 I started the season with my brand new LifeLive TN11 and was coached and supported by Markus Wibbeler throughout the whole season. I really learned a lot and gained so much experience thanks to him.
At the end of the season we went to Maggiora and tried to mess with the best in Europe. I even got into the final, but unfortunately my engine broke racing at 5th place.
Thus I completed my second season in autocross and rallycross finishing 1st place in the German National Championship in my division and also 2nd place in the ADAC XC Cup Junior.
Also I attended my first rally at the Santa Domenica Rally Show in Croatia in November 2025.
For the upcoming season I was nominated for the ADAC Talentpool (by ADAC Weser-Ems e.V.). With their support and also a lot of training virtually (Simracing) and also physically, I am positive to compete quite well in 2026.
It is my dream to race in the WRC one day…
