The Road to F1: The Official KDV ENT 901 Timeline
🏁 The Road to F1: The Official KDV ENT 901 Timeline
The K.Le DaVincci Formula 1 journey is more than just a racing pursuit—it’s a cultural movement and historic campaign launching from the streets of Memphis to the global motorsport arena. This is the world’s first professional Formula racing campaign to fuse Southern Black music, reality media, entrepreneurial grind, and elite racing ambition into one legacy-building brand.
This page outlines the official timeline from the first Lyft ride and K1 kart race all the way to the Formula 4 starting grid.
🛣️ 2022–2024: Mental Training Behind the Wheel (Lyft Driver)
Before the racetrack, there was the street hustle. K.Le sharpened his reaction time, navigation skills, and endurance as a top-performing Lyft driver in Memphis.
- 🚘 4,981 Rides Completed
- 🏅 Elite Tier (Top 5% of Drivers)
- 💯 4.97 Passenger Rating
- 🌟 Verified by Lyft for professionalism, consistency, clean vehicle quality, and customer engagement
“Lyft taught me how to stay sharp, alert, and composed under pressure. That mental focus now fuels every lap I take.”
🏎️ Karting Points Campaign (2024–2025)
The road to Formula 1 doesn’t start on a podium—it starts in a helmet, at the back of the grid, with everything to prove.
For K.Le DaVincci, that beginning was December 31, 2024—his first race ever, with no background in motorsports and no legacy advantage. Just vision, hunger, and a relentless drive to build his F1 future from the ground up.
What began at K1 Speed Memphis has evolved into a precision-documented campaign, backed by full video coverage, charted lap data, and real-time global ranking metrics. This is more than karting—it’s a performance-based movement designed to scale into F4, F3, and eventually Formula 1.
🏁 Road to F1 Snapshot: After hitting #2,990 worldwide on March 2, 2025 (Race 17 of his first-ever campaign), KDV took a short pause to build the infrastructure of his racing empire—launching his business, website, and full-scale sponsorship engine. As with any competitive leaderboard, breaks in racing naturally allow other active drivers to climb the ranks. The next phase resumes with a direct path toward the Top 1,000 and entry into pro training.
