It looks like the former Formula 1 driver, Jaime Alguersuari, is planning his comeback to the motorsport scene. The catch is that this time, he will be driving in the Karting World Championship. Apparently, he will join the KZ shifter division.

Jaime Alguersuari Will Race Karts Six Years After Retiring from F1 at Age 25

Jaime Alguersuari and his teammate Sebastian Buemi dropped from the junior Red Bull team in 2011, making way for Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo. After that, Alguersuari spent two years as a Pirelli F1 tester, racing for Virgin Racing in the inaugural season of Formula E. He then announced his retirement in 2015.

The Spanish racer is currently working as a professional musician with the stage name Squire. Even so, he has been testing karts to fill his free time because he is currently unable to tour or go to festivals.

Back in 2013, Jaime Alguersuari Finished Ninth at the KZ World Championship

Having been a part of other karting races, Jaime Alguersuari plans to return to the discipline for this year’s world championship Kristianstad event that is set for September. The 30-year-old explained that he has a different view of racing now compared to when he was 20. He added that he hoped the comeback would help him to close his emotional circle.

It seems the racer has been testing go-karts for some time, and he recently said in an interview that he was having sensations that he had not felt for a long time. He remarked that when he started racing, he was smiling inside his helmet because he was driving for pure love. This gave the professional driver the idea that if he returned to kart racing, he would then be in a situation that is competitive and felt like an inspiration to his life.

Alguersuari shared how he struggled a lot after he left Formula 1. At first, he did not want to hear a word regarding racing, nor did he watch any F1 because he was having a difficult time accepting what had happened. Still, Alguersuari stressed that he does not yet have specific goals other than to have fun.

The world is full of amazing cars, but there’s no doubt about the fact that the car world is like being back at school. There are the popular kids who get all of the attention and all of the credit, and then there are the underdogs who — however brilliant — just don’t get their chance in the spotlight. However, we’re here to put these playground antics to bed, as these underrated cars of 2020 are now being pushed into the limelight they so deserve.

BMW i3

Okay, so the BMW i3 doesn’t tick everyone’s boxes. We get that. Some people just can’t get over the strange exterior, but when you look past the physical appearance of this car, you realize that it’s actually pretty awesome. This is an all-electric model that features a very minimalist design, which many believe to be the future of the car world. Could the BMW i3 be the car of the future? You never know.

Volkswagen Passat

Many people pass off the Volkswagen Passat as a boring ol’ family car, but it’s actually the family car that everyone needs in their life. Although it may not be the sports car that bachelors want, it’s the perfect car for those who need a lot of trunk space, the latest safety-friendly tech, and a no-nonsense look about it. It’s definitely underrated.

Kia Stinger

Although the Kia Stinger has become very popular among journalists who work within the car world, it seems as though it hasn’t had its chance to shine among the general public. The Kia Stinger is one of the coolest cars out there, and it’s also relatively cheap when you look at what it has to offer. This car not only looks good on the outside, but it is made from seriously strong bones — proving the stigma around Kia to be wrong.

What do you think? Do you agree that these are the most underrated cars this year?
