WSK karting
WSK Promotion has established the international karting series since 2006. Since then the WSK-branded karting championships have achieved ever greater participation success, becoming the most qualified showcase of international karting, which in recent years has exceeded 30,000 total participations.
A goal achieved through the intense work of the WSK team, carried out with commitment, dedication and passion over these 18 years.
And with the trust, above all, placed by the professionals, the Federations, the manufacturers, the teams and the many drivers who choose the WSK races and championships to begin their careers in karting and international motor racing.
Today karting carried out in the WSK series has the pride of representing those who are the current champions in motor racing, in recent years almost the entire starting grid of Formula 1 is in fact made up of drivers who trained competitively in WSK events.
Karting promoted by WSK is not only experienced on the track, but also behind the scenes. WSK Promotion tells, through its videos (“Specials”, “Highlights”, “Recap”…), the backstage of each race and the activities inside the paddock, to fully relive the emotions of the weekend.
Since its inception, WSK Promotion has been committed to giving maximum visibility to its series, for the public and enthusiasts who, especially in this period, follow the races from home. Precisely for this reason, for years, it has equipped itself with the entire technical infrastructure to be able to independently manage every “live” event.
The WSK mobile control team is made up of true communication professionals: directors, cameramen, microphone operators, sound operators who make the most of the latest generation technological equipment useful for broadcasting live the most spectacular scenes experienced on the track. Always accompanied by commentary in English.
In an era where communication travels quickly and at an incessant pace, WSK Promotion runs not only on the track but also on the Internet. On the wskarting.it website the public can always stay updated on all the news relating to the different series. A real “hub” into which all communication activities are channeled.
