Wayland Industries congratulates Erwin Montfoort and Montfoort Motorsports on their first victory of the 2026 season at Round 5 of the United Karting Series in Kerpen — the legendary circuit where Michael Schumacher began his career.

Round 5 — Kerpen

Racing in the Rotax Max DD2 Masters class, Erwin took the lead early in the final and held off relentless pressure to the flag. The win comes at one of the most storied venues in karting history, making the result all the more meaningful for the team.

A Family Milestone

The win carries special meaning beyond the result itself. This season, Erwin and his brother Luuk took over team management from their father — with Luuk also serving as Erwin's mechanic at every round. The brothers dedicated the victory to their mother, Heidi.
