The second edition of the Adria Karting Expo is now in the books and the feedback was excellent: the exhibition dedicated to the world of karting, born from an idea by Danilo Rossi, was joined by many of the most famous karting players at international level. The event, which lasted three days (one more than the first edition), took place in the multi-functional Adria International Raceway complex.

After arousing great curiosity in the first edition of 2018, this year the event recorded a significant increase in visitors, thanks to the promotion that led over 700 people to register in the days preceding the event to obtain the VIP Pass to be shown at entrance.

In addition to the actual exhibition, the numerous activities planned for the weekend were also a source of attraction, all aimed at giving enthusiasts a taste as much as possible of the karting world.
The Arena, for example, hosted test sessions on rental karts, with experiences specifically tailored for kids, while the Adria Karting Raceway, host of international competitions WSK and CIK-FIA, saw the most savvy enthusiasts aboard kart racing made available by the partners.More specifically, Easykart offered the opportunity to try out the new KZ Junior, while Rotax Italia brought its Rotax Mini, Rotax Junior, Rotax MAX and Rotax DD2 engines to the track.

The core of the event was, in any case, the exhibition pavilion where the most important players in international karting showed off all their novelties.

The main protagonists and true leitmotif of the 2019 edition of the Adria Karting Expo were the new 60 Mini karts, presented by the Companies in view of the first single CIK-FIA homologation for this type of vehicle in force since 2020. Many manufacturers took up the challenge, to the delight of the visitors who were able to admire up-to-date (and preview) vehicles now technologically advanced.

Among the companies, there were also many that targeted karting operators, such as Go Track Barriers, Pixel Motorsport, SMS Timing and Tecpro Barriers. Enriching the scenery and offering an exceptional glance was the area dedicated to historic karts, which brought together an extremely varied selection of vehicles, some of which date back to the era in which the kart began to be regulated.
