2007 PROGRAMME AND OFFICIAL DRIVERS
CONFIRMED THE PRESENCE TO
2007 INTERNATIONAL OPEN MASTERS
After a brilliant 2006 season and after all the results and satisfaction gained, Tony Kart is glad to introduce and to announce the new Racing Team for the incoming season.
In 2007 we are going to participate to the following international races: the 12. Winter Cup, which will be the first race of the year and one of the most important considering the introduction of the new engines; then we will surely participate to the most resounding International Championship in Italy, that is to say the 2007 International Open Masters. After that, we cannot miss the worldwide CIK-FIA Karting event such as the World Karting Championship (KF1), the World Cup for Teams & CIK-FIA World Cup for KF2, the World Cup for KF1 & CIK-FIA Asia-Pacific KF2 Championship (Suzuka/J), the European KF1/KF2/KF3 and KZ1 Championship and the Asia-Pacific KF1/KF3/KZ2 (Macau/Mo).
For the incoming season as well, we will be supported by excellent partners again, who have a multi-year experience in the motorsport races: Arai, Bridgestone, Ibea, Sparco, Pi Research, Puma, Vega, Quadra Sport and Vortex.
The fitting of the chassis on the new concept Vortex 125 cc engines will hold a role of primary importance and will be carried out together with the unending research & development job of our Racing Team and its high-specialized technical staff.
For sure 2007 will be an interesting season and we will come back on the track with the same fighting spirit and determination that distinguish us from always. The extraordinary 2006 rich in results will be a stimulus for all the team in the new season.
