“This is a hugely positive step forward for the sport of karting as well as it being the pathway to professional competition. All of today’s current British F1 drivers and many of the pundits learned their race craft through the British Kart Championships. Not only is this a brilliant opportunity for viewers to spot tomorrow’s racing heroes before they become famous but is an action-packed and thrilling sport in its own right. It is where drivers learn the core building blocks of the sport, in a category that offers energy, excitement and strong competition.” Dan Parker – Head of Karting for Motorsport UK
