The Tony Kart Racing Team has announced the factory drivers and race program for the 2014 international karting season.

The team, which will be managed by Giacomo Aliprandi , will compete in both CIK and WSK Championships.

"For such important events, the technical material of our drivers will be the extraordinary Racer EVR and Krypton KSK chassis, powered by the reliable Vortex engines assuring great performance" the team announced in a statement.

Three new drivers - one for each category - were named: Andreas Hansen (KZ), Gabriel Aubry (KF) and James Pull (KF Junior).

In the KZ category, Marco Ardigò and Flavio Camponeschi have been confirmed for KZ1, while Hansen will race KZ2. "For personal reasons, Dreezen is not joining us since he decided to stop. The team wishes to thank him for the good job done together."

In KF, experienced driver Karol Basz is joined by two young drivers; Gabriel Aubry and Nikita Mazepin. "Aubry has had his debut with our colours on the occasion of the last round of the world championship for KF Junior and Mazepin is one of the most valued drivers shifting to the KF category."

German youngster Mick 'Junior' will continue in the KF Junior class. "(He is) a very young driver who has experienced and collected good results already. He will be a good guide for the new driver, the Asian Pull. He will face for the first time a complete season at International level."

Tony Kart also acknowledged the contribution of Michael Schumacher and hold the former champion in their thoughts.

"Over the past years we were used to have with us for the debut of the season of our Racing Team, the best mentor ever, Michael Schumacher.

"Unfortunately, due to well known reasons, this year we will not be able to benefit of the strong and the very appreciated support of Michael, who is always in our thoughts.

"We wish to take this opportunity to send his family a heart - felt embrace as well as to wish Michael to come back together with his friends of the Tony Kart Racing Team very soon."
