The German Kart Championship is going to start into its 59th racing season next weekend (May 7th – 9t), as planned, and is popular among local and foreign drivers again. 115 participants are going to compete on the traditional Erftlandring in Kerpen.

Motorsport-icon Jörg Bergmeister becomes new patron of the German Kart Championship. The 45-year-old former professional race driver wants to pass on his vast experiences to the younger motorsports generation and thereby give something back to kart racing.

Four weeks before the start of the fourth German Electric Kart Championship (DEKM) season, the event’s promoter IKmedia and technical partner BRP-Rotax decided to adjust the race calendar for the 2021 season. It now includes four events as part of the DKM and the Rotax MAX Challenge Germany.

From May 7th – 9th, the German Kart Championship is going to start into its new season on the Erftlandring in Kerpen. The highest German kart racing series is going to offer a strong platform with an extensive program again. The registrations for guest drivers will be possible from April 1st.

A few weeks ago, the German Kart Championship presented its innovative racing program for the 2021 season. But a few changes caused criticism among long-standing teams and drivers.
