Micouris' motorsport journey commenced at the age of seven in karting, having been inspired by his father, whose mechanical engineering background played a significant role in nurturing Micouris' enthusiasm and understanding of the technical aspects in racing.
“It all began with my dad introducing me to karting at a very young age,” he explained. “He had a passion for motorsport and had worked extensively on performance cars in the past.
“Whilst he didn't have the opportunity to pursue motorsport himself, he saw the potential in me and nurtured my passion for motor racing. He has been a massive help in guiding me throughout my journey in motorsport.”
That journey began with 'Arrive and Drive' Bambino karts at Daytona in Milton Keynes. But Micouris soon progressed from there and, shortly after his eighth birthday, secured his ARKS karting licence and began racing in Honda Cadet.
Since then, he has accumulated countless wins and podiums, achieving his first MSA championship aged just nine, before going on to win a further seven titles.
His success in karting led to Micouris being selected by Motorsport UK to represent the UK in the FIA Karting Academy Championship, where a close season-long battle culminated in him finishing joint third in the points.
Sim racing has also played a pivotal role in honing Micouris' skills as a racing driver off the track, starting with Gran Turismo on the PlayStation where he competed in professional events and became the European, Middle East, and Africa champion.
