Bio

15-years-old from Austria, Klaffenböck lives on a farm in the countryside since he was born. Currently, I am attending a business college with a focus on IT, such as programming. I am under contract with R8G eSports as a development driver. One of my core strengths is my desire to help others, whether it’s improving or trying to achieve something. I am passionate about racing, and participating in online racing events has allowed me to showcase my competitive spirit and commitment to excellence. Online racing has taught me valuable lessons in discipline and focus. I started driving on a simulator at the age of 4, which sparked my interest in motorsports. Besides motorsport, I am also interested in football, tennis, and skiing. My goals for the future are to take every opportunity I get and make the best out of it. A few months or years ago, I never thought that something seemingly unreachable could be attainable with the right mindset and dedication. I believe new doors can open, whether in daily life or in motorsports.
