Hear from Rosie:

When Rosie was 6, she wanted to try karting. GKL’s beginner-friendly training provided everything she needed, including adjustable-speed karts for safety. At 7, she’s not only enjoying racing but is now interested in motorsport engineering. For our family, owning a kart isn’t feasible, but GKL has offered an affordable, eco-friendly introduction to the sport. Whether she pursues it seriously or as a hobby, it’s been the perfect start for her.
