Markas Silkunas signs with VDK Racing for his second season in OK category

Columns: News and Previews
The 16-year-old Lithuanian signed with VDK Racing to take on his sophomore year in the OK category. After a very positive 2024 season, Markas will try to get back on the podium of the Champions of the Future Academy Program.

In addition, he will take advantage of the experience gathered last year to establish himself as a top driver in the CIK FIA European and World championships, the WSK Euro Series and the Champions of the Future.

Giovanni Minardi: «We have finally concluded the negotiations with VDK Racing for the 2025 season. I’m really excited and convinced that this driver/team combination can truly fight for great results. Like last year, Markas’ schedule features a very intense season, where he’s certainly going to be a protagonist in every championship he will race in. Now it’s his turn to give his 100%».

Markas Silkunas: «I’m very happy to start 2025 with VDK Racing. I’m looking forward to achieving better results and having a good and successful year in karts. See you on track!».

Eric Verdaasdonk: «As a Team Manager, I can only be delighted to have been able to recruit a driver of the quality of Markas. He has a natural speed which will allow him to get on the podium. It’s really a big opportunity for me and for the whole VDK team».
