However, 2023 was his breakout season as he moved to the OK category, winning the Karting European Championship.{{Cite web |date=2023-06-18 |title=European Championship |url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/competitions/2023/1615385-european-championship/championship/ |access-date=2023-12-31 |website=Kartcom |language=en-US}} Lammers also finished 2nd in the Karting World Championship, driving for Parolin Motorsport.{{Cite web |date=2023-10-08 |title=OK-Junior and OK - World Karting Championship - Franciacorta |url=https://www.kartcom.com/en/competitions/2023/1615256-world-karting-championship/results/ |access-date=2023-12-31 |website=Kartcom |language=en-US}}
