Company mission
To democratise motorsport, blending racing, lifestyle, and culture to inspire the next generation of enthusiasts.
Our take
Launched by a leading Formula 1 engineer and a descendant of the Porsche auto founder, FAT Karting League is a racing initiative that’s designed to democratise the future of the F-Series.
F-Series racing has always been difficult to enter without substantial financial support, which is why FAT Karting League, complete with electric vehicles, has designed an affordable and accessible entry point into the sport. Winners of its league get a free spot in the F4 racing league, meaning that anyone, regardless of background, has the chance to make a career out of racing.
With the combined experience of its founders, FAT Karting League could really revolutionise access to F-Series. It’s partnered with the likes of sporting data analysis company Smedley Group, and is opening several tracks in the UK before expanding to the US. With its focus on young talent, FAT Karting League could change the face of the sport.
