2014
On my 6th birthday my parents gave me a helmet and a gokart lesson at Karting Granja Viana (Sao Paulo). This is where my largest passion in life started, to race.
Who is the postman?
My name is Alex Calson
I was born in Sweden in 2008 just outside Stockholm. Now i live together with my family in Marbella. My passion in life is racing and I do hope that one day I can become a professional racer.
How did it all start? On my 6th birthday my dad gave me a karting helmet and took me to a karting school at Granja Viana in Sao Paulo Brasil. I was hooked to the sport ever since.
I started racing in 2020 in formula Mini (95cc) and came 3rd overall in the MKR-championship the first year and 5th in the year after. 2022 I started racing in Rotax Junior 125cc. I was on a comfortable second place mid-season before we decided to move to Spain. Here in Spain I came second in my first race in Junior 125 end 2022.
In 2023 I started racing with a Rotax DD2 in the Spanish championship called Madrileno and later also a Rotax Senior 125cc. This is a learning year for me and Im loving it!
2020
In April of 2020 I did my first karting race at Järfälla MK north of Stockholm in a Formula Mini Raket 95. They put me on the top of the podium after that race and that was the best feeling in the world!
2021
This was my last year racing in Formula Mini and with great results. Overall 5th in the Swedish MKR championship and the name ”The Postman” was given to me.
2022
This year I moved up to J125 racing in the Swedish Rotax Max Challenge championship with Sodi. Podium finishes in every race and great speed. But mid season me and my family moved to Spain and I had to abort my attempt to reach the world Rotax finals i Portugal.
2023
This is my first year racing for my new Spanish team ALC Motorsport with my Rotax DD2 Tony kart. This is the beginning of something great!
Why ”the Postman”?
My dad was my mechanic when I started karting and he didnt get along so well with our engine. Therefor I always got a not so competetive kart in the qualifications. But I always managed to give it all and show my strengths in the races, often driving over the karts limitations and delivering good results in the end. One karting father came to us in one of our races and said I drove just like the postman: ”delivering results”. The Postman name has been with me ever since.
Helmet design
My helmet is a replica of the legendary "Mr Lemans" Tom Kristensens helmet that he used at one of his races that he won in DTM. It has also been blessed by Tom and there for we have his signature on the back of our helmet.
