MTEC - Key Persons
Milla Mäkelä started in karting at quite a young age, Miikka at 5 and Milla at 4. They both went up all the way from Cadet to Yamaha. The most busiest summers were when Miikka had a race in Mini class on 19 weekends during the short summer of Finland. Of course Milla was also with them in some races with her Cadet. When it was time to move up to more demanding classes also technical wise one dad had a hard time to maintain two cars. Due to this Miikka and Milla both learned already early on that if you want to race, you have to take care of your car also yourself. The schedules were on the tightest when Milla was driving in Yamaha junior and Miikka in Yamaha. The starts were after each other and when Milla finished in the top 3 she had to start disassembling the engine for the scrutineering by herself so that Markku could follow Miikkas race. Of course Miikka had to do the same so that Markku was able to help Milla getting the engine back together. Either one of the sibblings did not attend any series in karting for they switched to Formulas as soon as they hit the age of 16.
