A 13-year-old American driver competing in his second season in KF-Junior, Logan Sargeant is in the top five after the third round of the European Championship run in Sweden at Kristianstad. A precocious talent, Logan showed early potential in Rotax Micro Max in 2009. He then won the TaG Cadet category at the SKUSA Supernationals in 2011 in Las Vegas and Minirok in the Rok International Final in Lonato (ITA). He raced in 60 Mini during the 2012 season with a victory at the Margutti Trophy and a 3rd place in the WSK Euro Series to his credit. He participated in all of the major European competitions for KF-Junior in 2013 and now drives a FA Kart / Vortex for the British RFM team, while being coached by Infinity Sport Management.
Logan’s performance showed a marked improvement this year. He was 7th at Lonato in the Margutti Trophy, then he won Prefinal A at the WSK Master Super Series at Castelletto (ITA) and was on the second step of the podium at the opening round of the European Championship at La Conca (ITA). Consistently rated in the top group of international drivers, he is in 5th place in the standings in the European Championship before the final round at the end of August at PF Int’l (GBR).
This weekend, he took part in the third round at Kristianstad (SWE). The races proved especially rough on the twisty Asum Ring circuit and several incidents occurred on the track, which slowed Logan’s progression. After a good start with 6th fastest in qualifying, he continued with two 4th and 5th places in the heats before having to retire in the fourth and lose ground in the fifth. He managed to gain nine places in Prefinal 2 with an interesting 3rd position. But the final didn’t go as well as hoped and he had to settle for 13th place at the chequered flag.
Logan’s potential remains very convincing and the late season looks very promising for the conclusion of the European Championship at PFI and the World Championship in September at Essay (FRA).
