Australian Formula One ace Daniel Ricciardo has just launched his own range of kart!

"Ricciardo Kart" will be manufactured by the new BirelART company (born from the recent merger of the Birel Group and ART Grand Prix) and cover chassis models from Minikart through Rotax classes to the CIK-FIA categories.

Designed, manufactured and distributed globally by BirelART, "Ricciardo Kart" will be present next year with an official racing team in major competitions throughout Europe.

It is also expected to have a significant presence on the domestic scene here in Australia where Michael Patrizi's Queensland-based Patrizicorse team will campaign the karts.

According to the organisation's press release, Daniel has not only given his name to the range, but will be involved in the design, production and development of the kart.

"I am very happy to be able to kick off this project," Daniel said.

"I grew up racing karts, and even when I moved up to single‐seaters, I never stopped supporting this sport, always enjoying some kart racing in my spare time.

"Being able to follow the design and construction of a kart from a blank sheet to track debut is an adventure that’s very fascinating and I am glad to do this with a Partner who is just as excited: BIREL ART.

"I hope that many girls and boys can learn this discipline, have fun and win with the Ricciardo kart."

The first example will be presented to the public in late November. A preview of the range, their technical details and livery graphics, will be available early in October.

Further details of the planned 2015 race program and drivers should also be available then.

Ricciardo Kart has stated its mission is "To be the leader in the Karting world with on track results and off track Smiles"
