By coming to live in Italy, Kevin Susilo has sacricedeverything to his passion, far from his country butmaybe a lile closer to the world of karng. Under DaniloRossis wing, he can now take advantage of the bestpossible condions to learn his job as kart driver. Daniloconrms the growing talent of his young protg, whosemovaon is solid as a rock. Though Kevin has alreadyhown great speed talent, he now has to learn how to

ght more eecvely in the pack. This is his next aim.

He achieved his best year results at the Open Masters, the well-known Italian championship. Kevin showed his speed twice in KF3:

2nd in the La Conca nal race in May, he did it again in Sarno, in July,and nished second in the meeng, just behind Danil Kvyat, who isone of the best drivers in the category. Overall, he was 13th in thechampionship standings, which counted 77 drivers.

Kevin also disnguished himself at top internao-nal level during the WSK. In Genk (Belgium), he wasregularly in the top 15 during med qualifying and inthe heats before dropping back in the pre-nal, thenhe staged a superb 10-place recovery in the nal race.At the last round in Lonato, he had to carve his way up,then qualied during an excing repechage heat andended 19th aer a great nal.

In Macao (China), at the CIK-FIA Asia-Pacic Cham-pionship, Kevin remained comfortably in the top 5 with a thirdbest me in med qualifying, a second place in qualifying heats

and a 4th place in pre-nal. Unfortunately he had to stop in thenal and could not do any beer.

But his most brilliant 2009 performance remains his success-ful debut in KF2, the category of conrmed talents. Aer a very encouraging pracce session in Lonato, Kevin showed he wascapable of rapidly taming his new machine, as only great driverscan do. Even beer, he was 6th at the last compeon of the year,the Trofeo Invernale Ayrton Senna in Sarno, at his rst race inKF2, aer a series of good me results.

Thanks to his excellent state-of-mind, well supported by Danilo
