Each title, what it means and where it was won.

Group N Champion

Three championship seasons in Group N, the production-based class where cars stay close to showroom specification and the driver makes the difference. Carl won the title, defended it, and in 2026 made it three.

Karting Champion

Where it all started. Four karting championships that laid the foundation: wheel-to-wheel racecraft, precision under pressure and the consistency to win over a full season, not just a single race.

Rally Junior Cup

Two Rally Junior Cup wins on the way up, the most recent in 2025 at the wheel of a front-wheel-drive Citroën DS3. The results that proved karting speed could translate to real stages and marked Carl as a driver ready to fight at the front of the field.
