Invented in the United States in the 1950s, Karting quickly gained massive popularity in Europe and stands today as a fully fledged motorsport discipline. It remains the ultimate school of racing for young drivers—a discipline that builds skills, character, and competitive instinct. Recognized as the best pathway towards a professional racing career, Karting is also passionately pursued by enthusiasts of all ages who dedicate their energy to the sport.
