Career
He was based in the United Kingdom for many years and was a successful junior single seater racer.
He was British Formula Ford champion for the Van Diemen team. He went on to become a race winner in the Formula Three series, finishing 4th in the British championship in 1999, and the American Indy Lights series.[1][2] His win in Indy Lights at Kansas is one of the world's closest motor race finishes as he narrowly beat Irishman Damien Faulkner.
Before finishing in single seater racing he also competed in the Le Mans 24-hour race for the DAMS (Driot-Arnoux Motorsport) Cadillac team. He also competed in touring car races in the Danish Touring Car Challenge.[3]
Kristian retired from racing in 2003 at a young age due to his backers going into receivership.
Kristian was also a founding member of the I.A.G.
