Eleven drivers will wear the official Tony Kart Racing Team colours in 2018, competing at the top-level across WSK and CIK-FIA competition in the Mini, OKJ, OK and KZ categories.

“With the 2018 season approaching, the Tony Kart Racing Team is ready to get back on track for the most important and demanding races in the world karting scene: the CIK-FIA, WSK events as well as the historical Winter Cup in Lonato” the company said in a statement.

Marco Ardigò will again lineup in the KZ category, and while he will attend all the races, he will not drive until May (in time for the first European Championship round) so that he can fully recover from his injury last year.

In KZ the team will have also Matteo Viganò and the Finn Simo Puhakka, who has transferred from the Kosmic Kart Racing Department.

Sebastian Montoya, son of the famous F1 and IndyCar driver Juan Pablo, has signed to compete in OK-Junior.

“The well-established partnership between the Tony Kart Racing Team and the Ferrari Driver Academy also continues for the 2018 season, with the aim to select new talents to be launched to car motorsport categories after karting.

“Concerning the chassis available, for the OKJ, OK and KZ/KZ2 categories, drivers will have at their disposition the Racer 401S chassis. In the Mini class, the chassis available to young talents will be the Tony Kart Neos. All of them, of course, powered by Vortex.”
