The brand CS55 Racing Kart was born in 2024, as a result of the collaboration between OTK Kart Group, the world leading Italian company in the field of the racing karting, and Carlos Sainz, current Formula 1 driver and protagonist of the main international kart competitions during his first years of career, at the wheel of chassis ideated, designed and produced by OTK Kart Group.
During the years, Carlos Sainz’s passion for karting has remained unchanged. The Spanish champion, during his career of single-seaters driver, never stopped to make training sessions with karts, both as training for his Formula 1 season and also as a hobby.
For this reason, as well as for the desire to promote the sport of karting with the goal to achieve the highest number of motorsport fans, Carlos Sainz has decided to give life – in partnership with OTK Kart Group – to a complete personalized karting product line.
The combination between the Italian manufacturer and the Spanish driver is the natural consequence of the fact that Carlos Sainz has been rider of several OTK Kart Group brands (including Tony Kart Racing Team) during his karting career. A collaboration which leaded to several successes: in particular, CIK-FIA Asia-Pacific Championship in 2008 and Monaco Kart Cup in 2009 in KF3 categories, as well as the title of European vice-champion, always in 2009.
CS55 Racing Kart products, whether they are chassis, bare frames or accessories, have always benefited from very high production standards of OTK Kart Group, which designs and produces every component of its products inside its own establishments in Prevalle (near to Brescia, Italy), in order to have the highest control on the entire design and production chain and grant the best product and the best performance to the kart drivers from all over the world that use the karts signed Carlos Sainz.
