Henri Kauppi

Henri Kauppi, born on September 18, 1995, is a Finnish racing driver with a career spanning over two decades since starting in 2000. Kauppi's early successes were in karting, where he consistently achieved top positions in the Finnish Championships. Highlights include a 3rd place finish in the 125cc class in 2015, 2nd place in the Yamaha class in 2013, and victory in ICE Karting in 2011. These results laid a strong foundation for his transition to formula racing.

In 2016, Kauppi competed in the SMP F4 NEZ Championship with Koiranen GP, a prominent European Formula team. He participated in seven races across various locations, including Russia, Sweden, Finland, and the Netherlands. This opportunity arose after a successful test in Valencia, Spain, which impressed team manager Marko Koiranen. The team supported Kauppi, with a significant portion of his €190,000 budget secured through local partnerships.

More recently, Kauppi has been competing in the Italian GT Championship. SnapLap indicates that as of recently, he has secured 7 podiums, 1 pole position and 2 fastest laps out of 16 starts. He is listed as a Silver-rated driver by the FIA.
