    Material Efficiency

    Usage of minimal materials saves in manufacturing costs, the environmental impact, and improves the efficiency of the kart on the race circuit.

    Green Composite Seat / Bodywork

    Bringing green materials to the motorsport world, organic composite bodywork panels and seat both provide safety and protection for the driver and wider audience, and improve aesthetics of the kart.

    Integrated Electronics

    The driver can communicate directly with the pit team, providing information on performance and the kart. Sensors detect levels of forces experienced by the kart output as telemetry, enabling further refinement and optimization of the kart.
