Maranello. The very name is evocative: it has the sweet perfume of Italy and,
for anyone interested at all in automobiles, the place is synonymous with
Ferrari. The small town close to Modena is the epicentre of the passion for
the red racing cars with the prancing horse, laden with prestige, elegance
and performance.
In Maranello, cars and motor sport are granted the status of religions, of
those religions which arouse vocations. As Italy is also the land of Karting,
Maranello was inevitably bound to inspire kart lovers. And the headquarters of
the engine Manufacturer SGM, mainly renowned for its KZ gearbox engines, are
indeed located a stone’s throw from the Ferrari plants.
In 1996, Maranello Kart was born and the small enterprise started
manufacturing chassis… recognisable thanks to their red colour. After three
years of development, the make Maranello Kart had the CIK-FIA proceed to the
first official homologation of its chassis.
Without giving up its name, the make nonetheless left the town of Maranello
to settle at Lonato, near the well-known South Garda Karting circuit. A man was
to transform the make and give it the international

participating makes
dimension that we know today : Armando Fillini. His Karting expertise associated
to his passion was to enable Maranello to become a major protagonist on the
scene of international competitions. In 2008 and 2009, the Maranello Racing
Team is even the team which entered the largest number of Drivers in the
CIK-FIA Championships !
The make also reaps success as it won in particular a World Cup for KF1 in
Japan (Davide Foré, 2008), several European titles (Junior in 2006 with Miquel
Monras, Super KF in 2009 with Aaro Vainio). Maranello Kart often distinguished
itself by its will to promote young talents, such as Ben Hanley, Jules Bianchi
and Aaro Vainio.
To its extended range of “ racing ” type chassis, the make has recently added
engines specifically homologated in KF & KZ and called “ Maranello ”.

Energy Corse was created in 1997, i.e. only three years after Michele Panigada,
its creator and now director and team-manager, landed a Driver’s CIK-FIA
European ICA Vice-Champion.
The first karts to bear the “ Energy ” label were obviously developed and
experienced in competition by Michele Panigada himself as he competed in
several World Championships in the top category of these days, Formula
Super A.
As the years 2000 went by, the presence of Energy Corse in major international
and national championships was considerably developed, so much so that
Energy Corse is now part of the great reference teams with the best structures.
Very active in the gearbox kart category where it has made a name for itself,
Energy Corse won in that category several CIK-FIA European titles (2004 with
Holland’s Ricardo Van der Ende, 2006 with Germany’s Ernst Behrens, 2008 with
France’s Tony Lavanant and 2010 with Paolo De Conto) and has just perpetuated
this kind of tradition by taking its very first European crown in KZ1, on last 12
June in Germany, with Paolo De Conto.
- 19 -

More recently, Energy Corse has extended its official involvement to the KF2
and KF3 categories, thus playing the card of the promotion of young Drivers.
Their talent associated to the professional follow-up ensured at the circuits
and in the development of the equipment by the Racing Team, has enabled the
make to win two CIK-FIA Viking Trophies (2008 with the Swede Joel Johansson
in KF2 and 2011 with Norway’s Dennis Olsen in KF3) as well as a Vice-World
Champion title in 2010 with the Dane Nicolaj Moller Madsen.
Energy Corse is based in the north of Italy, at Seriate (Bergamo) and employs
8 people.

Former European Karting Champion (1986), former Formula 1 and IndyCar
Driver, Alessandro Zanardi made a point of retaining a link with the sport which
thrust him to the tremendous career he has made for himself. He has thus
given his name to a kart brand, the running of which he has partly entrusted
CRG (which manufactures the chassis) with, and its management is entirely in
Dino Chiesa’s hands. Zanardi’s interest for this programme has coincided with
his definitive return to Padua, in Italy, after the years he spent in the United
States. He has had more and more meetings with the Karting community and
he naturally turned to Dino Chiesa to carry through his project to a successful
conclusion. His involvement was announced within the framework of the 2004
World Championship, and in 2005 Team Zanardi entered CRG chassis. It was
only in 2006 that Zanardi became a make homologated as such. The white and
blue make is now mainly renowned for its association with the successes of
the little Dutch prodigy Nyck de Vries.
Without the contribution of its Team Manager, Dino Chiesa, Zanardi would
certainly not be the make that it has become. Mechanic of Zanardi himself
in 1987 (together they won the prestigious Hong Kong GP) and then of Mike
Wilson in the 1980’s, Dino Chiesa managed CRG’s racing Team throughout
the 90’s, taking in particular under its umbrella such Drivers as Danilo Rossi,
- 21 -

Vitantonio Liuzzi, Giorgio Pantano, Jan Magnussen, Ryan Briscoe, Patrick Long
and Ennio Gandolfi. Approached by Keke Rosberg, he then founded Team MBM
(Mercedes Benz McLaren), fully dedicated in the early 2000’s to Nico Rosberg
and Lewis Hamilton, first with CRG chassis, then with MBM ones manufactured
by Parolin.
Zanardi is one of the two new makes which have joined the bosom of the
brands officially entered in the CIK-FIA “ U18 ” World Championship and will be
represented on the track by seven Drivers of as many nationalities, with an
Australian (Aidan Wright), a South-African lady Driver (Naomi Schiff ), a Briton
(Matthew Graham), a Greek (Dimitrios Vasileris), a Frenchman (Simon Tirman),
an Italian (Damiano Marchesan) and a Driver from the Sultanate of Oman (Sanad
Al Rawahi).

Tecno is the very expression of noble home-made crafts. The love to see a job
well done, the overall control of production, the commitment to human values
in one’s work and in sport, all brought to the highest level.
Tecno reflects the permanent confrontation between mechanical cleverness and
a belonging to another world, a world where passion has not been replaced by
the modern economical models or by obsessive mass production. This is what
Graziano Cerino, Mr Tecno, is made of : he belongs to the old school.
Tecno makes it a point of honour to be a major Manufacturer while remaining a
small one. For the boss, greatness is indeed in the capacity to create, to innovate, to optimise, to master. At each new homologation session, i.e. every three
years, Tecno reserves at least one surprise and presents, always with discretion and modesty, a technological novelty or a new mechanical refinement …
Based in Strambino, near Turin, the make dear to Graziano Cerino was born in
the 1970’s. It has no connections with the other Tecno, that of the Pederzani
brothers, who, before manufacturing Formula 3 and even Formula 1 cars, revolutionised Karting in the 1960’s by creating the architecture of kart
- 23 -
participating makes
frames which still prevails today.
The Tecno di Graziano Cerino is getting through its fourth decade of Karting
and has touched the production of every kart component except tyres. Chassis,
brakes, engines, ignitions, bodywork, hubs, rims, various accessories, etc. In
its will to master everything, Tecno has even gone as far as including in its
production chain a paint workshop for the frames !
While originality is its trademark, some sporting results have also enhanced
the image of Tecno. In the days when the Manufacturer was very involved in
the biggest competitions – directly or via the GKS structure of Paul Lemmens,
who was in the past his importer for Belgium – Tecno collected victories and
international titles. And out of all the successes achieved, the 1997 European
title probably remains the one that is most engraved in people’s memories as
it was conquered in the top category of those days – Formula Super A – and
also, not to say mainly, because the co-author of the performance was a future
World Formula 1 Champion : Jenson Button.

MS Kart, from the initials of its creator and director Milan Simak, is one of the
few major Manufacturers who are not based in Italy.
The headquarters and production plant of MS Kart are located in Prachatice, in
the Czech Republic. The company employs some 26 persons and produces as an
Logo Mskart
average 800 to 1,000
chassis per year. It was created in 1992.
The Czech Manufacturer is a unique case on the scene of Karting industrialists : he is the only one who proposes in his range of products a type of karts
for every CIK-FIA category, from KF chassis to Superkarts, not forgetting KZs.
And MS Kart obviously also has Minikarts, leisure karts and rent karts on his
price-list.
A large number of accessories which equip the karts are designed and manufactured in-house, which further enhances the Manufacturer status of MS Kart.
On the international scene, MS Kart has often shown a predilection for gearbox
categories, probably as a legacy of the boss’ sporting past.
During his career as a Driver, Milan Simak indeed landed a European 125cc
- 25 -
participating makes
title in 1980 at Olomouc (CZE) on an artisanal chassis of his own making.
Its major modern successes, MS Kart owes them to the German Peter Elkmann,
CIK-FIA European Superkart Champion in 2008 and winner of many international
Superkart events, like the famous British Superkart GP.

Like many other Manufacturers, Albino Parolin inherited a passion for motor
sports from his father, who was a motocross engine tuner. As like many other
factory bosses active in Karting, Albino Parolin used to be a Driver and then
a Mechanic.
From 1981 to 1990, he took part in a lot of national and international events,
even directly competing against such Drivers as Hakkinen, Schumacher or Morbidelli. Then came the time to put his passion for Karting into practice, and he
became a very high-level Mechanic. It gave him the opportunity to accompany
the rise of a future Formula One Driver, Giancarlo Fisichella. He subsequently
had the idea of manufacturing his own chassis. And then that of subcontracting for other makes.
Parolin may not be the most famous Manufacturer of the day but appearances
can be deceiving as the company based in Romano d’Ezzelino, in the Italian
Venetia, is perhaps the one which uses the largest number of tubes for the
manufacturing of frames every year ! The reason is that very many makes have
recourse to the services of Parolin to get their karts produced, and the plant
is accordingly equipped.
- 27 -
participating makes
Parolin has never systematically entered the major competitions. Racing
against his own customers is a moral obstacle that the boss refuses to ignore
too much. However, as high-level competition nevertheless remains the best
experimentation ground and the best conveyor for technological development,
Albino Parolin selects his Racing Team’s entries according to possible challenges
or to the motivation and curiosity that they can generate. Thus, in 2002,
Parolin supplied chassis to Team MBM, which was specifically created to have
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg compete in the World Championship before
they switched over to automobiles. And, quite recently, Parolin has focussed on
the challenging undertaking to introduce more affordable and balanced Karting
by supplying his complete karts for the CIK-FIA Academy Trophy as well as the
engines (with WKE marking) for the CIK-FIA “ U18 ” World Championship, and
by entering its chassis make in the latter Championship reserved for Drivers
under 18 years old.

Born from Piero Cavaciuti’s will and engine expertise, PCR is one of these makes
which have written the history of Karting.
PCR (for Piero Cavaciuti Racing) started by using 2-stroke engines dedicated
to competition Karting. After having worked to the development and tuning
of engines of the make BM, Piero Cavaciuti decided to stand on his own two
feet in 1974.
It was only eleven years later that PCR also undertook to manufacture its own
chassis. While a Manufacturer mastering the building and selling of his own
chassis and engines is now a widespread practice, PCR’s undertaking in the
middle of the 1980’ s, was rather unusual if not pioneering. This being said,
the risky gamble was won two years later when PCR managed to land the
World Championship at Jesolo (Italy) with its official Driver Gianpiero Simoni!
PCR’s destiny was subsequently taken over by the sons of Piero Cavaciuti.
Amongst the notorious Drivers who were part of the team – and who have
remained remarkably faithful to it – there were the former Formula One Driver
Giancarlo Fisichella, the Finn Tom Vilander (now very present in GT), and, of
course, the Dane Gert Munkholm, World Champion with PCR in 1989 at Valence
(France).
- 29 -

Yesterday’s PCR has however gone and has now been replaced by the “ Scuderia
PCR ”, under the direction of Cesare Speranza, already known on the Karting
scene as being the owner of the circuit of Busca, near Cuneo, in the north
of Italy.
The activities of the make are now exclusively focused on chassis.

The Righetti-Ridolfi company was born in 1969 in the Verona region. In those
days, it was a small family business specialised in the moulding of plastic.
Karting did not yet constitute their main market but was soon to become so.
Enzo Righetti was such a Karting lover right from the beginning of the 1960’ s
that he built his own kart. He then started to import from the United States
some components in order to meet the demand of the Italian market.
The production of plastic parts for Karting was to follow from the early 70’ s,
and his move in 1972 to a new headquarter, in Sona, was accompanied by
the specialisation of the company in the manufacturing of accessories for
competition Karting.
In 1984, the company continued its expansion, and Mrs Ida Ridolfi (Enzo Righetti’s wife) and her two sons, Maurizio and Gianpaolo, joined the firm. This
new impetus allowed a development of the production, with a price-list of
over 200 items. As years went by, Righetti Ridolfi modernised its tooling and
completed its range of plastic products with aluminium accessories.
- 31 -
participating makes
With 700 sales outlets throughout 87 countries in the five continents, Righetti Ridolfi is today one of the main companies in the world for the production of
Karting accessories. It proposes approximately 2,700 different articles, mostly
manufactured by the company itself.
In addition to the production of its own chassis under the company name
Righetti Ridolfi, over the last few years it has acquired the makes Gold Kart,

Top Kart is the make of the chassis produced by Comer, the well-known Manufacturer of engines with a small cylinder capacity which monopolised most
markets of “ minime ” and cadet categories for such a long time. And in fact
a lot of Comer engines are still used throughout the world, even though many
ASNs have now opened these categories for 8 to 12 year-olds to other competitor makes. One way or another, even if it was indirectly, Comer more than
any other Manufacturer has accompanied the motor sport débuts of almost
every current notorious Driver.
Not unlike the fate of the different varieties of 4-stroke Honda engines in rent
Karting, both indoor and outdoor, it is ironical that these Comer engines, successful in the “ minimes ” and cadet classes, were not originally aimed at being
fitted to karts because they were actually industrial engines!
In spite of never constituting the company’s main activity, Karting has been an
integral part of Comer’s history since the 1980’ s. Based at Bagnolo in Piano, in
the region of Reggio Emilia, Comer is one of those Manufacturers who make it
a point of honour to design, develop and produce themselves their karts and
components, without sub-contracting too much.

Very present on certain national markets, Top Kart and/or Comer products also
boast a fine list of international results. Their most important wins were the
one achieved in 2010 with UK’S Jake Dennis, who took the very first “ U18 ”
World Championship crown and the one achieved at Braga (Portugal) in the
year 2000 when the Briton Colin Brown landed the Drivers’ World Champion
title in Formula A, at the wheel of a Top Kart chassis. In 1994, Sweden’s Fredrik
Wallberg had also placed a Top Kart on the third step of a World Championship
podium, this time in Formula C (which was then the top category of gearbox
karts). Many other successes have been conquered, in particular two titles in
the ICA category, in 1997 with Bressan and in 1999 with Téo Fabi’s son. In
2009, a Top Kart worked its way up to the second place of the CIK-FIA World
Cup for KF3 thanks to the British Driver Jake Dennis.

Intrepid is the story of a small parts producer, SKM, that grew up – the story
of how a small-scale wheel hub manufacturer was transformed into one of the
biggest teams in international Karting. It all began in 1992, with the modest
production of parts for Karting, a sport practised at the time by Mirko Sguerzoni as an amateur driver. The small firm grew very quickly, to the point of
becoming a supplier of spare parts for the major makes. Then, by dint of frequenting the Karting world and acquiring increasingly sophisticated tools, SKM
had the bright idea of becoming a manufacturer in its own right. In fact, the
company was already producing everything for karts except for the frames. It
took the plunge in two stages : first by assembling frames for its clients, and
then, in 2003, by launching its own make, which it named Intrepid.
The team had lofty ambitions. Spurred on by its young boss, Intrepid impressed people with its dynamism, paying great attention to the image of
its karts and, right from the start, recruiting famous racing drivers, including several former World Champions such as Alessandro Manetti, Alessandro
Piccini and Ruben Carrapatoso. From its very first year as a manufacturer of
homologated chassis, Intrepid played a highly visible part in the World Championship with Hector Pineiro, though his momentum was halted by an
- 35 -
participating makes
engine problem. In 2006, the first major international consecration came in Japan, where Arnaud Kozlinski won the coveted World Cup. In these last two seasons (2009 and 2010), the predominantly orange make showed itself to be
uncompromising in the KZ1 category, placing its two drivers, Bas Lammers and
Jérémy Iglesias, right at the top of the European and World Cup hierarchies.
In 2010, Intrepid also helped UK’S Red Bull Bracked Alexander Albon to win
both the European KF3 Championship and the World Cup for KF3.
Although Intrepid built its reputation with experienced drivers, today it is also
harvesting the fruits of a policy that is resolutely focussed on the youngest
racers. Two of the current Formula One drivers, Sébastien Buémi and Jaime
Alguersuari, given a place in the Torro Rosso team by Red Bull, learned the
ropes in Karting within the Intrepid team. This policy of nurturing young talent continues today, with the creation of the Intrepid Driver Program and
the substantial involvement of the make in the CIK-FIA « U18 » World Karting
Championship.

The greatest football players often end up continuing their careers as coaches. As for the greatest kart champions, when they have not switched over to
motor sport they stay on the Karting scene and sometimes become Manufacturers or kart dealers, sometimes Drivers’ managers.
There are many examples: Mike Wilson, Danilo Rossi, Peter de Bruijn, Gianluca
Beggio, Milan Simak, Harm Schuurman, Gianfranco Baroni, etc.
Jorn Haase is one of them. In the 1980’ s, the most Italian of Danish kartmen travelled throughout the world as an official Driver and conquered many
victories in Europe, Australia and Hong Kong. The most prestigious of these
trophies is obviously the one he landed in 1984 at Liedolsheim (DEU) in the
World Formula K Championship.
In 1989, Jorn put an end to his Driver’s career and launched his own kart
make. The Haase chassis were soon to distinguish themselves. In 1993, Haase
aligned an extraordinary series of titles with his official Driver Nicola Gianniberti : the Haase-Gianniberti duo clinched the World Formula Super A Championship, the European Formula Super A Championship and the World Cup in Japan !
The following year, a Haase chassis took yet another world title, in Formula A
this time, thanks to the Italian Marco Barindelli.
- 37 -

In 1995, his company extended its activities and, under the name of Titan,
Haase started manufacturing his own engines.
Although his Racing Team is now less involved in major international competitions, Haase nonetheless remains very present on some world markets,
particularly Asian and American, with his eponymous chassis as well as those
bearing the name “ Corsa ”.

Hetschel, Mach 1, KZH: the three are one. Hetschel is the Manufacturer – the
family which has given its name to one of the oldest Karting plants. Mach 1
is the make of chassis produced by the company. And KZH, the make of its
engines.
One must go back to 1968 for the genesis of the family business. Lothar and
Wilhelm Hetschel manufactured their first kart 42 years ago in the cellar of
their father’s house, in Zuffenhausen/Stuttgart – the Porsche city. In order to
design a vehicle properly and control its development, there is nothing better
than also to carry out its tests. And what is the best testing ground ? Competition, of course ! Wilhelm Hetschel fain sat behind the steering wheel and,
with the contribution of his technician brother, conquered several national
titles in Germany. As results and experience came, the Hetschel brothers
started developing a series production in 1972. From Stuttgart, they then
moved to Brackenheim-Meimsheim, where the headquarters of the company
still are.
With all his German seriousness and rigour, Hetschel has built for himself
a solid reputation by manufacturing both his own chassis and engines, in
categories with or without a gearbox. The fashion of “ full ” Manufacturers
was only developed much later so Hetschel played a pioneer’s part in this field.
- 39 -
participating makes
Although the Mach 1 and KZH products have been exported to a large extent, they almost always owed their most spectacular successes to German
Drivers. Before their well-known motor sport careers, Drivers such as Heinz
Harald Frenzen, Jörg van Ommen and even Michael Schumacher used Karting
equipment “ made in Hetschel ”. The make won its latest international title
thanks to yet another Germanic Driver, David Hemkemeyer, European Formula
A Champion in 2002.
Lothar and Wilhelm Hetschel – and their spouses – are still at the head of
the company some 42 years after their first creation – and as a good selfrespecting family business, the children – led by Martin Hetschel – are fully
part of the adventure and quite decided to perpetuate the tradition.

Created in 1981 by Gildas Mérian, its current President, Sodikart, in what
will soon be 30 years, has become a major protagonist on the world Karting
market. Out of all the Manufacturers, it is undoubtedly the one who has developed the largest industrial organisation and now generates the largest world
production of both competition and rent karts.
All the Sodikart departments – commercial, administrative, production, research & development – operate from an ultramodern plant on 8,000 m located
in Nantes, France, which was inaugurated in 1998. Sodikart employs 80 to
110 persons, according to seasons, and proposes a vast range of products
and services (various equipments and accessories, organisation of events and
e-trade website).
Mainly focused on competition in the 1980’ s – initially as an importer and
then with the first competition chassis of its own production under the make
name Sodi – Sodikart then anticipated the emergence of a rent and leisure
market in full growth by dedicating most of its development to the optimisation and manufacturing of such karts by thus limiting its involvement in
competition. Particularly groundbreaking on this specific leisure ready market,
Sodikart has developed a range of specifically adapted and innovative karts
- 41 -
participating makes
(technology, design and safety), and it has naturally positioned itself as the
world leader. Its capacity to innovate and develop its products has since allowed it to maintain its dominating position.
As a man who is keen on competition, but also because racing remains a
stimulating experimentation ground, both for technological developments and
for his make’s image, Gildas Mérian has gone back with a vengeance to his first
love. He has revived Sodikart’s “ Racing Team ”, and the make was very quickly
successful again from the beginning of the 1990’ s – with his first World
Formula A title in 1993 as an apotheosis. In 2004, Sodikart landed the World
Cup for Teams, while additionally collecting titles, victories and podiums both
in France and abroad, as well as in official international competitions of the
CIK-FIA – namely a list of results which now makes of Sodikart one of the most
successful Manufacturers on all the circuits in the world.

Originally a German make created in 1969, Hutless became Swiss Hutless
when it was taken over in 1971 by the Swiss Dieter Vokinger. This was not
the début of Vokinger in Karting as three years before he had acquired the
Kappelen track. Subsequently, in 1992, Group Vokinger also built the Karting
circuit of Lyss, near Bern in Switzerland, which still exists today and is close
to the company’s headquarters.
Swiss Hutless Karts has always maintained a varied Karting activity, using
high-level competition to strengthen its position on the market of national
competitions on every continent, but also in the field of rent karts, with
equipment specifically aimed at leisure Karting, both indoor and outdoor, and
also aimed at small children. Its commercial approach has long been looked on
as that of a trail-blazer and as a reference, its catalogue and its distribution
network being among the most developed and modern ones.
In 2007 the status of the company changed when Swiss Hutless Karts became
New Swiss Hutless International AG. Today, Niklaus Gurtner manages the company, which employs 14 persons.
Put on the back burner for a few years, Swiss Hutless’ “ competition ” branch
- 43 -
participating makes
has been revived this season and is managed by France’s Manuel Renaudie,
who recently put an end to his brilliant career as a professional Driver. Renaudie in particular finished second in the 2009 World Cup for Super KF, was
Vice-European Champion that year, and his titles of winner of the German
(2010) and Italian Championships (2003), as well as Vice-French Champion
(2002) bespeak a long presence at the highest level.
To reaffirm its international involvement Swiss Hutless has chosen to enter the
CIK-FIA “ U18 ” World Championship as a make. It will be represented therein
by three Swiss Drivers (Alain Valente, Yves Von Aesch and Isabelle Von Lerber)
and a Bahraini (Abdulla Al-Thawadi), who will have the difficult task of restoring the Swiss Team’s prestige of yesteryear, especially marked by the World
titles conquered by Peter de Bruijn in 1980 and Massimiliano Orsini in 1995.
