Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz has unveiled his own brand of kart, and it’s coming to Australia.
The result of a collaboration with the OTK Kart Group, the new CS55 Racing Kart brand features Sainz’s signature colors (red, yellow and black) along with his distinctive “CS55” logo.
The first CS55 model is a chassis with 30mm diameter tube, available in single-gear version for Junior/Senior drivers, plus a shifter version.
All CS55 Racing Kart products will soon be available via the official sales network. For Australia, this is International Karting Distributors (IKD) in Sydney.
