Mehmet Gökseven Reviews His 2024 Season

2024 AVIS Turkish Hill Climb Category 1 champion and Atış Motorsport driver Mehmet Gökseven reviewed the season for turkmotorspor.com readers and shared his goals for 2025.

The season-opening event in Eskişehir got off to a very exciting start. Sakarılıca, which is also a rally stage, is a fast, technical stage. I really enjoyed it, completed it without any problems and won the event.

Kartepe Hill Climb had actually started really well for me. I was leading the event, but on the third run, with just 20 metres to go, I couldn't finish because of a mechanical failure. It was a race that gave me experience, but it was also a disappointing one.

At the third event of the season in Buharkent, we were met with the great interest of the hospitable people of Aydın. I think Buharkent was one of the toughest stages of the year, but despite all the difficulties
we knew how to win it, and we lifted the trophy.

Kütahya Hill Climb started very enjoyably with its unique scenery. Thanks to the good surface, it was a fast event. We won Kütahya after a strong start and picked up valuable points on the road to the championship.

Şahintepe, our home event, holds a very special place for me, and I prepared very well to win it for the fifth time. With its fantastic spectators and stunning natural setting, it is, for me, the most beautiful, most technical and my favourite course of the championship. We won all four categories and took victory both individually and as a team.

The season finale, Kınık Hill Climb, organised by İMOK with the support of Kınık Municipality and where the champions would be decided, was without question the best-organised event of the season.

For now I have no plan for a full season in 2025. I will return to Şahintepe to win at home for the sixth time, and it will be a year in which I support my team. I wish my fellow competitors an accident-free 2025 season.
