We are excited to officially announce our new dealer for the United Kingdom, who will also become the future importer of RK1 Engines. This marks a major milestone for RK1 as we expand our presence in the UK, bringing our high-performance engines to a growing number of racers.
As part of this expansion, RK1 races will soon be held in the UK, giving local drivers the opportunity to compete in the exciting world of RK1 karting. We’re proud to have already confirmed the first English drivers, who will join our international roster of talent.
Ambitious Goals for 2025
Our objective for 2025 is to have a minimum of 20 RK1 drivers racing in the UK. This is part of our larger plan to strengthen the RK1 brand across Europe and beyond, creating new opportunities for drivers to showcase their skills.
International Opportunities for English Drivers
In addition to local competitions, English RK1 drivers will also have the chance to compete internationally. We are pleased to announce that UK drivers will be invited to race in the NXT-GP in the Netherlands, giving them the opportunity to test their mettle on an international stage.
Barden Racing and RK1 Engines at Kartmania
We are also pleased to confirm that Barden Racing will represent RK1 at the prestigious “Kartmania” karting expo at the legendary Silverstone Circuit. This event will provide a great platform to showcase our engines, meet fellow enthusiasts, and discuss the future of RK1 in the UK.
RK1 Engines powered by BeNeDu-Racing will have its own dedicated stand at Kartmania, where visitors can learn more about our products, racing programs, and the exciting developments coming to the UK market.
After Kartmania Try-Out Test Days
Following Kartmania, we will be hosting special “try-out” test days in England on the Tuesday and Wednesday immediately after the expo. These test days will give prospective racers a chance to experience the power and performance of RK1 engines firsthand. It’s an excellent opportunity for drivers interested in joining the RK1 community to get a feel for our engines and prepare for the upcoming races in 2025.
