The Italian tyre manufacturer LeCont has been one of the suppliers for international events such as the FIA Kart World and European Championships for several years. In Germany, Pro Kart in Wackersdorf takes over the import and is now building up a nationwide distribution network.

2023, the world's karting elite will be guests in Wackersdorf at the beginning of September for the FIA Kart World Championship. A few weeks before, the DMSW will hold a preparatory race at the same location from 20-23 July. The races will be held in accordance with the CIK-FIA regulations and adapted to the schedule of the World Championship as a four-day event. The classes KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters are announced.

In OK and OKJ categories all the international FIA Karting and WSK competitions are scheduled, as well as other events still to be defined.

The line-up of drivers and the race calendar of the Tony Kart Racing Team have been defined, which will be on track in all the main international events in the 60 Mini, OKJ, OK and KZ/KZ2 classes.

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 Leclerc by Lennox Racing team is back from the last round of the OK-OKJ FIA ​​Karting European Championship, which took place this weekend at the Pro Kart Raceland circuit in Wackersdorf.

In Wackersdorf, both in OK and OKJ, the Racing Department centres top results in qualifying and final.

In the last round of the OK and OKJ European Championship, Tony Kart is third in the OKJ final with Harley Keeble and conquers the third podium of the general rating in both categories.

For Australian hopeful James Wharton, it was a FIA Karting European Championship full of lessons that has just ended in Germany. On the Wackersdorf circuit, where the tension was palpable, the young driver with the official Parolin Racing Kart team was again a finalist. However, too many incidents impeded his progress so he had to be satisfied with 26th place in the Final.

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.

Rotax team is testing the new project E20 electric kart and the results are very impressive - 25 laps on a single charge! One hour charge time and the e-kart is ready to go again!

All the pieces of the puzzle are being put back in place as for the International Karting calendar. In recent days, the FIA ​​has officially canceled the 1st round of the OK-OK Junior European Championship in Kristianstad and consequently the single-gear categories will have a 3-stage Championship: Zuera on August 2nd, Sarno on August 23rd and Wackersdorf on September 13th. The KZ classes, on the other hand, will compete in the European Championship on 2 events: the first in Adria on August 16th and the final in Genk on September 6th.

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

Jenni Wade and Björn Niemann presented the DKM racing calendar 2020. Due to the Corona crisis, this also had to be adjusted. The participants can look forward to four thrilling racing weekends. The starting shot is fired at the Erftlandring in Kerpen, then on to Mülsen, Wackersdorf and the final in Ampfing.

The Corona pandemic also causes shifts in the racing calendar in the German Electric Kart Championship (DEKM). After first relaxations in the past days and openings of the kart tracks, the DEKM now presents a new racing calendar for the 2020 season. Still five races are planned between July and October
