From Karts to the Top: Supporting Motorsport from the Ground Up

Karting is where motorsport begins.

It’s where drivers learn race craft, discipline, preparation, and the importance of safety — lessons that carry through every level of the sport.

That’s why Racer Products is proud to partner with KartSport New Zealand in a new multi-year agreement supporting the Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy Kartstars series.

As New Zealand’s premier motorsport supplier and exclusive distributor of leading brands such as OMP Racewear and Bell Helmets, Racer Products has long supported grassroots motorsport. This renewed commitment reflects our belief that access to professional-grade safety equipment shouldn’t start later — it should start from the very first race.

The partnership will help KartSport New Zealand deliver enhanced competitor prizes and continue improving free live-stream coverage across the series, ensuring the sport remains accessible to families, teams, and fans nationwide.

Motorsport careers don’t begin on the podium. They begin in karting — and we’re proud to support the pathway that takes drivers from their first lap to wherever the sport may lead.

Whether it’s your first kart or your next step forward, safety matters.
