The 2019 International karting season is coming to an end but the Tony Kart Racing Team doesn’t stop and is proud to introduce the three new drivers joining the team ahead of the next racing commitments: Lorenzo Travisanutto and Pedro Hiltbrand for the OK category, Aiden Neate for OK-Junior class.
Two out of three are not entirely newcomers as they previously drove OTK material in the past. The Spaniard Hiltbrand, crowned OK World Champion back in 2016, wore the colors of the Italian team in 2017 winning the WSK Champions Cup before he joined CRG. Being familiar with karting will be an advantage to help Pedro in being ready from the very first race: the WSK Open Cup taking place at Lonato from October 24th to 27th.
On the same occasion, another driver will make his debut with Tony Kart: Lorenzo Travisanutto, the two-time OK World Champion in 2018 and 2019. The Italian driver, born in 1999, is also familiar with the Italian chassis as he used it both in the 60 Mini class and in the following years, in particular when he won the 2016 WSK Super Master Series.
All these experiences participated in making Travisanutto one of the greatest protagonists of the current international karting scene with recent victories in the 2018 WSK Final Cup and Winter Cup while also clinching the 2019 WSK Euro Series besides his achievements the FIA Karting World and European Championships with Rosberg Racing then CV Performance Group.
Among the youngest of the OK-Junior category, the English Aiden Neate will make his debut with Tony Kart in Lonato. This will be his first international adventure after proving all his potential in the UK conquering a few podiums and a victory in the Fifth Round of the IAME Cadet British Championship.
