For the second time this season, the German Electric Kart Championship travelled to Motorsport Arena Mülsen – this time for the season finale (SEP 10-12). On Sunday evening, Oscar Pellemele had every reason to rejoice – the Frenchman won his first final on Sunday and gained the Championship title at the same time.

Last weekend, the German Electric Kart Championship (DEKM) broke new ground. For the first time, the drivers from eight nations started at the Arena E in Mülsen. During the races, there were lots of fights for positions – Theo Kekati from the United Arab Emirates and Dutchman  Luca Nieuwenhuizen were the happy winners.

On February 1st at 12 pm, with the beginning of the online registration for the German Electric Kart Championship (DEKM), the kick-off to the 2021 season is going to happen. Interested drivers can register on the website www.dekm.de. The racing calendar consists of five races spread over Germany and Belgium.

The newly developed “Project E20” electric kart from BRP-Rotax is probably the most important “asset” in this year’s DEKM season. “More power, a longer battery life and a reduced weight boost the performance of the German Electric Kart Championship to a whole new level,” says Oliver Schielein, Managing Director of IKmedia, the promoter of the series. During the first test drives, the new e-kart received an extremely enthusiastic reception from drivers. “We now want to ensure that we do not endanger the success of our most important asset by starting off with the handbrake engaged,” says Schielein.

Mr Schielein, the German Electric Kart Championship (DEKM) recently published its new race calendar for 2020. Did you find it challenging to organise?
