The four DKM category championships, Junior-Kart (DKJM), karts with Shifterkart-Championship (DSKM) and DMSB Shifterkart-Cup (DSKC) gear, have aroused great interest since the beginning of the year. After opening the online registration, the four categories were completed quickly to win the right to participation. In the end, the interest was so great that the DSKC was expanded from 34 to 54 participants. Therefore, after the heats, the competitors will be divided into two Pre-Finals. The 34 best drivers will then be admitted to the final.

The start of the new season will be on the South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato. The 1,200m long track, near Lake Garda, is part of the DKM calendar for the third consecutive time and offers a perfect setting. The following events will take place in Wackersdorf, Kerpen, in Belgium in Genk and finally in Ampfing from 4 to 6 October. With over 180 registered participants, exciting races are guaranteed.

Just like in the past, the four categories are well represented. In the upper class of the German Kart Championship (DKM), Harry Thompson (Ricky Flynn Motorsport) aims for the title. But alongside the British, there are many other favorites, including the defending vice champion Hugo Sasse (TB Racing Team) from Germany and the Karting world champion Lorenzo Travisanutto (CV Performance Group). The German Junior-Kart Championship (DKJM) provides a similar image. Thomas Ten Brinke (Ricky Flynn Motorsport) from Holland wants to prove himself as the protagonist, as is the German Fabio Rauer (RS Schumacher Racing Team) who is considered one of the fastest debutants, last year's ADAC Kart Academy champion who will also represent the German colors at the FIA ​​Karting Academy Trophy.

The two categories with the marches boast an excellent participation with many karting champions. In the Shifterkart-Championship (DSKM), defending champion Fabian Federer will start with the number 201 and will be the driver to beat this season. Among his greatest antagonists are the brothers Pex, Jorrit and Stan, but also the overall winner of the DMSB Shifterkart-Cup (DSKC) Emilien Denner (CPB Sport). At DSKC the possibilities are very open: the first five riders of last year could not come back, leaving room for new winners, and with a fleet of 54 riders, the number of favorites is quite large.

Extensive live coverage for the event

The German Kart championship in 2019 will still have TV MOTORVISION.TV as partner.
