Career
[edit]Karting (2013–2024)
[edit]Walther began karting in 2013,[1] primarily racing in Denmark until 2020, the year in which he won the OK-J title.[2] Moving to Koski Motorsport to compete in International races for 2021, Walther won the Trofeo Grifone,[3] as well as representing Denmark in the Karting Academy Trophy,[4] in which he finished runner-up to Maciej Gładysz.[5] Towards the end of the year, Walther also finished fourth in the Karting World Championship from pole position,[6][7] before finishing fifth in the WSK Final Cup.[8]
Remaining with Koski for his step-up to senior karts in 2022, Walther most notably was sixth in the WSK Open Cup and ninth in the end-of-year WSK Final Cup's standings.[9][10] Continuing with the team for 2023, Walther began the year by winning the WSK Champions Cup and taking fourth in the WSK Super Master Series points.[11][12] Following a mid-season switch to Tony Kart Racing Team, Walther took fifth in the WSK Euro Series standings before ending the year with a ninth-place finish in the WSK Final Cup standings.[13] In his final year of karting in 2024, Walther most notably took fourth in the WSK Super Master Series standings,[14] in a year in which he also made his debut in KZ2.[15]
Formula 4 (2025–present)
[edit]In 2025, Walther made his single-seater debut for Maffi Racing in select rounds of the Formula Winter Series,[16] in which he took a best result of 12th at Valencia,[17] before remaining with the team for a dual campaign in the Formula 4 CEZ and Italian F4 Championships.[18] In the former, Walther took his maiden single-seater win at the second Red Bull Ring round and scored three other podiums to take seventh in points,[19] whereas in the Italian series he only took a best result of 12th at Misano.[20]
The following year, Walther continued with Maffi for another dual campaign in the Formula 4 CEZ and Italian F4 Championships.[21][22] In the former, Walther kicked off the season with two wins at the Red Bull Ring,[23] two podiums at the Salzburgring and a win at the Slovakia Ring to take an early championship lead.[24][25] In the latter, Walther began the season by taking his maiden series podiums between the Misano and Vallelunga rounds.[26][27]
