Kerstin Bessler - International Women of RC |
| Today we say hello to another new mother and International Woman of RC, it's Kerstin Bessler! |
 Hey Kerstin! how did you get started in RC?
I started racing in 2010 or 2011 I really don`t know exactly. My husband Christian races since 25 years ago and as I met him in 2004 I went with him on races and helped him in the pit. Once I said, that I would like to drive RC Cars and I practiced a bit at our home track and he said 'it looks not so bad ;-)' ...a little bit later i bought my first car. Racing cars is traditionally a male dominated activity - did you find RC a welcoming environment to join? RC is for me like a little family. I?m really happy when after the normal life at home it is race weekend. I meet friends from all over the country and of course also at international races. Last year I became a mother. Our daughter is now 8 month old, now we will travel less. No international races. But for some races in our country we bought us a motorhome and so we can travel with the complete family to races. I love to be at the track. Would you like to see more women in the sport? Of course. It is nice to see women at the driver stand. |
What would you say to any women reading this considering getting involved?
Not only think about do it! Finally, as it's International Women's Day. Tell us a woman you look up to... (Either inside or outside of RC) I look up to my mother ? Now I?m also a mother and I know what she has done for me. |
