2008 Chassis Guide - Italkart

Never Follow

The 2008 ITALKART chassis line has improved upon the successful 2007 models. There have been minor improvements in certain vital components, but the overall design that has lead to success in 2007 will continue to be utilized with another year of knowledge in hand. In 2007, ITALKART captured the Pro Shifter and G1 title at the Florida Winter Tour, finished second in Pro ICC and first in G1 at the Kart Sport Grand Prix, and finished in the top five overall in the Stars of Karting ICC championship, proving itself as a successful shifter chassis. Additionally, the chassis won at the Tag World Championships, podiumed numerous times in the Stars of Karting ICA division, and won at the Stars of Karting All Stars event solidifying itself as a force to be reckoned with in sprint racing. Additionally, Rotax/DD2 driver Scott Cambell enjoyed success in both categories in Canada earning himself a trip to the Rotax World Finals in Dubai. ITALKART is looking forward to another year of accomplishments in 2008.

Attractive, sophisticated, and technologically formidable. These are the uncompromising goals that have propelled ITALKART to the forefront of the global karting market.
