Remo Retires? Not Quite!

Karting icon Remo Luciani has announced he is stepping back from the higher level competition he has thrived on during his karting career.

At 64 years of age, the karting veteran has finally conceded the Masters category is where he’ll be racing in future.

Remo posted the following on social media:

“Hi all, I just wanted to share an update with my followers and all those who have supported me throughout my 45 years in the sport of Karting.

After dealing with a few health issues in late 2024, which required a few operations and three months of recovery, I’m happy to report that I’ve been cleared by my cardiologist to race again.

In a few months, I will be turning 65, and after such a long and fulfilling career in this great sport, I’ve come to the decision that I can no longer compete at the highest level as I once did.

Unfortunately, I just can’t dedicate the time and energy I used to, as I have other commitments in my life at this stage.

With that said, I’d like to announce that I will be competing in the Victorian Combined Masters category at the first round of the Victorian Country Series (VCS), which will be held at Ballarat on February 22-23. It will still be a challenge, as many young and talented competitors—some as young as 40—will be racing, but I’m looking forward to it.

Throughout my career, I’ve always taken the tough road to stay at the top, having won seven Australian championships, a New Zealand championship, and over 70 state championships across my 45-year journey.

I love this sport so much that I just can’t stay away, and I plan to be around the tracks for many more years to come. I’m excited to continue helping young drivers develop their skills and be part of their journey to the highest level—who knows, maybe even Formula One one day?

So, if you see me around the pits, don’t hesitate to say hello! I’ll be happy to offer advice and share the knowledge I’ve gained for over 4 decades. I’ve made many friends, both here in Australia and overseas, through my international competitions and my company, Remo Racing.

It’s not goodbye—it’s just the beginning of another exciting chapter in my karting career. I won’t be competing in the same classes I’ve been in for the past 45 years, but I’m looking forward to this new challenge. I’ll see you all at the VCS in Ballarat on February 22-23.

Cheers for now!
REMO LUCIANI
