About Willy
Meet Willy Kirk
At just 19 years old, Willy Kirk is already making a name for himself on the racetrack. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Bill Kirk, and his father, Dirk Kirk, racing is truly in his blood.
Willy began his racing career in 2020 behind the wheel of a BP Toigo winged kart, where he quickly showed his determination, talent, and love for the sport. In 2021, he made the jump to the SportMod division, and since then, he has continued building his skills, competing at new tracks, and pushing himself every time he hits the dirt.
Off the track, Willy carries that same passion into everything he does, including racing RC cars during the winter months. Whether he's turning laps or turning wrenches, he's always chasing the next checkered flag.
Fueled by family, hard work, and a true love for racing, Willy Kirk is definitely one to watch.
Thank you for being part of the journey!
