Mikael
Dahl

Micke Dahl was born in Stockholm, the Northern’s Venice, on the 17th april 1973.

Motors, speed and amusements have a very important role in Mikael’s life.

His crazy attitude shows from the beginnig, especially since he was driving like a maniac around Stockholm (attempting to terrorize the police) as delivery guy with his motorbike.

He was spending most of his summers working at his father’s floating petrol station, having fun around the Stockholm’s archipelago on his waterscooter and sailing on great boats.

In 1993 he made his debut in an Audi A Quattro which he completely demolish in 1994.

From 1996 to 1998 he has been driving sporadically an Opel Kadett that had more mechanical problems that one can imagine and the rally season hasn’t been satisfying at all.

In 1999 the opportunity to drive the Seat Cup on a yellow Seat Ibiza arrived and the final result was fourth overall in the championship. Not bad, all things considered with three spectacular rollovers in three consecutive races!

In 2000 he bought a Mitsubishi Evo III, group H and with that car he won the gold medal in the regional championship.

In 2002 he got the idea to borrow his father’s 1965 Porsche 911 to drive the entire European FIA Historic Championship. And, believe it or not, he won that championship too, with the same tenaciousness and determination which mark his personality. He ended up first overall and becomes European Champion in the European Historic Rally Trophy EM.

He loves extreme sports, he dislikes mundane social life and he doesn’t consider himself handsome.

He has been racing with the following cars: Audi Quattro gr. A, Opel Kadett GSI gr. H, Seat Ibiza Cupra gr. N, Mitsubishi Evo III gr. H and Porsche 911 gr. GTS 11.
