Tony Kart + Maria Germano Neto

SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT FEAR OF SPEED

It's often in the world of karts that the dream of reaching Formula 1 begins. The truth is that these "small engines" are nothing like toy cars, some of which boast a manufacturing quality of the highest level. Born in the 1960s, Tony Kart is an example of this. A benchmark brand of the OTK Kart group, a leading Italian manufacturer in the kart sector, it developed in tandem with competition practices in Italy, reaching the entire world. The introduction of the green color on the chassis, which still characterizes the brand today, became a key signature for the victories achieved and the quality offered. As a result of a continuous research and development program, Tony Kart has always distinguished itself with its latest innovations. For over 30 years, alongside the Tony Kart Racing Team in the world's most prestigious competitions, all the innovations designed and developed for kart competitions at the highest level are incorporated into the karts sold to the public and remain the main focus of the OTK group. The brand, which partners with the Ferrari Driver Academy, has a very special ambassador. At just 13 years old, Portuguese driver Maria Germano Neto is the best female kart driver in the world, recognized by the International Federation, and already has a history full of successes to tell.
