Tatu had his first contact with cars at the age of 4. The actual competition started at the age of 14 in the Legends series race in 2022.

In 2023, Tatu participated in Legends Finnish Championship series as the youngest driver in the entire series and finished 9th in the overall points. In his own Semi-Pro class, he was 2nd. In addition to Legends, Tatu participated in Endurance competitions as a driver for the Sontek Racing team. The team won the class championship.

Simracing

Tatu started driving on the simulator in 2021, winning his first championship after 4 months of driving. At that time, the sport was rallycross.

He participated in the first asphalt series in the 2022–2023 season. It was an internationally high level DNLS series and the co-driver was Williams F1 Esports team driver Alex Arana.

For the 2023–2024 season, Tatu moved to the familiar Sontek Racing Team. He started the season by winning the first race overwhelmingly in the DNLS series. The co-driver is still Alex Arana.

Career plan

Tatu, together with his background team, builds a career systematically and with purposeful steps. The convincingly run season in Germany has already spawned offers for the 2025 season and next season there is only one goal: Wins everything on the asphalt and in the simulator!
