Kombikart is the only Dutch manufacturer of CIK-FIA homologated race karts, operating out of a 3000m2 factory in Schijndel, Holland. With only 10 permament employees Kombikart is one of the smaller kart manufacturers, but they have still achieved a lot of success particularly in Rotax Max racing (Euro Challenge and National Championships). Their factory racing effort (Hugo Motorsports) is run by team manager Hugo van der Ham, a former Dutch kart-champion and formula car driver.
The KombiKart Challenge MKIII is the company's only kart homologated for the 2009-2014 homologation period, and some of its unique design features ensure that despite having only one kart, it is capable of handling various different kinds of tyres and engines.
Over the next few weeks we'll be looking at some of the new karts homologated for the 2009-2014 CIK-FIA homologation period in detail by asking the manufacturers about their latest creations and what went into their designs. We'll start things off with Arrow's latest CIK homologated kart, the Arrow X1-CIK.
At the Press Conference held on 5 January, 2009 in Jakarta, the Malaysian karting company Kartmore Racing Services announced the appointment of a new dealer for the whole of Indonesia effective 1 January, 2009. The new company KARS MOTORSPORTS will be handling all sales and service of Rotax engines, parts as well as other agencies lines held by KRS.
