Happy New Year !

Happy new year to all ! Manufacturers, Importers, Dealers, Racing teams and all racers and overall karting public.

It has been a long time....

 

Well, sorry for the long delay here. Summer went by, many races went by, many trips around the globe went by....and just this month the race in Las Vegas and all the activity related to it went by. Well, here we are. Let's see what are the latest news.

- The new FP 7 bodywork has been quite succesfull so far this year and has been available in North America for a little while. Several manufacturers and several teams have been using it in USA, like Arrow Kartsport, Praga and OK1, Intrepid, SodiKart, ART Racing and more. It really does look good.

 

 





-

- KG Buru bodywork continued to do well, widely used and in demand. Being as contemporary as the newer FP7, it is a matter of taste. Here some of the manufacturer and teams using it.

- We have been producing a lot of steering wheels this year.  It is without a doubt that our quality standard is now so high that a kart with our steering wheels will stand out and the feed back from drivers is most uniformerly enthusiast. It does make them perform better. Like a quality pair of shoes would compare to an average pair.... 

For more detail on the products please visit www.kgkarting.it and for additional informations on the products and to how to get them or ordering them email kgusa@kgkarting.it

Steering wheels new arrivals

We got new steering wheels in stock. The classic KG flat top 320mm diameter. Black on black with lederfylon grip and alcantara, black spoke. We also the same model in 345 mm diameter. Very good for all classes.

We got few special King model as well as Daytona model. Here some images. We have many more in stock and available. Email or call for ordering or additional information. kgusa@kgkarting.it

Highest quality hand made competition kart steering wheels made in Italy.

See detail of embroidery and material.

They can be designed and produced custom made for manufacturers, professional teams and dealers and small teams as well.

KG Kart stand and working table

Often enough I get dealers or reace teams contacting me to get some Kart stands and race table. At times we run out and unfortunately I have to add time to their request. But, right now, we have both of them in stock in USA, so in the case are needed please contact us and will handle that ! Also, as an additional info on the latest kart stand. IT IS more sturdy than the previous one, so, while it still keep the classic compact and foldind design for easy transport, it is now even more appreciated for the North American track pits areas - sometimes not cemented or asphalted.

Comet Kart Sales Launch New ‘Eagle’ Chassis

The two biggest topics in karting right now are the economy and the cost of karting. The origin of the Eagle chassis, available through Comet Kart Sales, began with a need for an affordable but competitive sprint kart that the average entry level karter or karting hobbyist can afford. Unfortunately, there is usually a compromise between a quality chassis and an affordable chassis. With the Eagle kart, Comet Kart Sales wanted to change that.

"It's our hope that bringing down the initial cost of karting, while also supplying a quality kart, we can bring more people into the sport and continue to grow karting even if the economy is not what we all would like", explained Mark Dismore Sr. of Comet Kart Sales.

Since the most important part of any kart is the frame, Comet has made no compromise in its material quality and construction. You can always upgrade bolt on components, but short of a tube bender, blow torch and a welder, you can't change the frame. In a move that they believe is a first for a US karting manufacturer, Comet has imported 30mm and 32mm tubing directly from the same mills in Europe that the top karting manufacturers in Europe also use. You can buy off the shelf tubing in the USA, but the very same properties that make the tubing great for mechanical uses in the USA makes it a poor choice for a competitive racing chassis. The tubing is bought in bulk, ocean freighted to the USA, where it is cut, bent, coped and TIG welded in Indianapolis. The karts are then powder coated locally before they are assembled in house at Comet Kart Sales.

Components are sourced from US suppliers and machine shops as well as select European part suppliers. The Eagle has an extensive list of upgradeable components including axle diameter, seat, steering wheel, hubs, bodywork and wheels. The kart comes standard with 1 1/4" axle assembly, KG CIK Bodywork, Douglas spun aluminum wheels, KG round suede steering wheel, MCP Brakes with oversized flat brake disk, angled steering hub, 10mm kingpin bolt with adjustable offset pill, 17mm Spindles, KG 8.5 or 3.5 liter fuel tank and unique aluminum brake and throttle pedals. The base price Eagle starts at $2450.00, tires sold separately.

Chassis with KG

Here I like to show couple of new chassis, both sporting KG products. Lotus kart use the FP7, while ART choose BURU style. I will post more later on.

FP7 model - plaque for front spoiler

The recently releases FP7 model spoiler need to be mounted with a special plaque. The plaque is a separate item from the spoiler. Code for spoiler is SA.504 and for the plaque is AT.020. These products are purchased independently and the plaque does not come with SA.504

Kart stand KG model 2012 - AC.003.09

This is the latest edition of the KG kart stand. Made in Italy, like all the accessories and products from KG, this kart stand is now made more robust to withstand heavier load and tougher terrain. It is a workhorse for the pits and serve well any team and driver. For additional information please email kgusa@kgkarting.it or call the USA office at 408-2721039

Kart show 2012 in Italy

Hello ! Catching up after 2-3 weeks on the road. We have been attending and having a booth at the kart and race show as mentioned on previous post. The show went well, despite being overall less attended due to lack of representation from some manufacturers. KG had the new homologated bodywork as well the BURU and EVO model, also rehomologated and completely current. New steering wheels and the full Polar radiator line was showed. A lot of interest and a lot of questions. The response on the new products (and current ones) has been very positive and encouraging. So we hope 2012 will bring good things for all of karting and racing industry.

The FP7 spoiler need to be mounted with a new plaque, otherwise same clamps and sampe bumper will work. The APE aribox, generally used for KF, KZ and TAG engines has been homologated again and will be fully approved for CIK international competition.

Evo spoiler and panel also fully valid. Buru is also fully valid.

MK14 cadet style is gaining more and more ground also in North America, and this product has been available for a while with our importers and with our USA office.

Polar radiators and standard radiators are getting very popular within the European teams and racer and we had an increase of production and sales to keep up with the demand. The product performed very well in USA, Canada and Mexico - where the racing conditions are very demanding.

KG at Las Vegas SKUSA SUPERNATIONALS XV - 2011

KGUSA KG KGUSA KG KGUSA


This last week we were in attendance to the SKUSA SUPERNATIONALS XV, the most important and big race in United States for Sprint Racing, that translate in "European style kart racing". The classes are "sprint" and also do have an additional CIK niche for KZ2 and KF2. So, TAG, TAG Cadet and Moto S1 to 5 classes for the American specialized style, and KZ and KF for fields full of worldwide drivers used to race CIK classes. Excellent show and variety for everyone. Even the "older" driver classes like G1 and TAG Masters allow veterans to compete and teh highest level.

But it has been a very long week. Manuel De Leonibus arrived on tuesday in order to deliver at the track the last items that were requested, and to offer any needed service for KG products. From wednsday morning on it has been a lot of racing, helping, talking and explaning about the latest products. And collecting orders for the future. The paddock was full of familiar faces from USA, Canada, Europe, Italy and many other parts of the words. Most famous manufacturer were present in force and competing. Big presence from Tony Kart, CRG, Intrepid, Arrow, Birel, Top Kart, Italkart (Italian Motors), Sodi Kart as well from other smaller but noneteless very good manufacturers like Energy, EKS, BRM, FK, Margay, WildKart, Merlin, Tecno,DR Racing,GP and many more. Also, noted was the presence of some very effective racing teams - basically specialized in the race service, like Aluminos and Phil Giebler Racing (FA Kart).

The Rio location is always very impressive, not only for the good organization of SKUSA and the lay out of the race track, but also for the many activities and events that run along the week end, culminating on SUPER SUNDAY, with all the race finals, with the award and prize cerimony and well deserved party at the Voodo lounge. In other words it is an event not to miss, not just for racing but for all that it has to offer.

I will try to give a quick glance of it with some images taken while there with the IPhone....

ART GP new kart chassis

http://www.karting1.co.uk/news/news/art-gp-announce-new-team-and-kart-chassis/


ART GP Announce New Team and Kart Chassis--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Karting1 ~ September 16th, 2011. Filed under: Kart Racing News.
According to the French karting website Kartcom, GP2 & GP3 team ART GP are introducing a new kart and race team to the market. It marks one of the first real attempts by an established single-seater car team to venture into the kart market beyond merely sponsorship. Their chassis has apparently already been homologated and is named the TS-01. Details of the chassis design and manufacturer are yet unknown.



In recent years a trend has shown car teams becoming keener to integrate more into kart racing so they have more direct involvement in developing young drivers.

Nicolas Todt who co-owns ART said ”I am really proud to add another milestone in the development of the ART Grand Prix company. The Karting panorama has always been an ultimate breeding ground, where all the greatest drivers made their first steps. For our company, the decision to join such a valuable environment makes a lot of sense and has synergies with our existing activities. Having Armando Filini on board from day one is a great asset and should enable us to accelerate our learning curve. We are facing this challenge with a lot of humility, enthusiasm and determination. As a drivers’ manager, being involved in kart racing will give the chance to get in touch with the most promising drivers early in their career, with the aim to properly prepare them for their future steps.”

Armando Filini is the team manager and is formally known from his work with Maranello Kart ”I am thrilled to join such a successful company like ART Grand Prix. We will be facing this challenge with the same dedication and professionalism that ART Grand Prix has showed in all the categories it entered. In my karting career, my goal has always been to help young drivers to prepare themselves for their next step in open-wheel racing. I strongly think that this brand-new project will definitely provide them with a significant support. We are working hard to reach strong results.”

It remains to be seen whether cementing karting as a purely first step on the ‘racing ladder’ is healthy for the sport overall.

KG POLAR radiator - the ultimate

POLAR is a new radiator brand from KG.
It embrace the fluid dynamics state of the art for a kart radiator.
The air flow coming across the radiator core is highly increased from
6 specially designed side winds attachments.
These winds are controlled by the driver who can also move them on an opposite direction
in order to reduce the incoming and cooling air flow in colder environment
o r during the first laps on the track with a cold engine.
On the rear of the core we have a couple of winged extractors, that in addition of being air intakes, have the function of reducing the hot air pressure flow coming from the core, thus enabling a better thermal exchange.
Polar radiators are special due to an aluminum alloy mount that allows for a
perfect set up of the radiator on the chassis, and also presents numerous mount positions for
additional tuning.
Contact KG USA office (Manuel De Leonibus) 408-272-1039 for more info and pricing.
