Have you ever wondered how the stars of Formula 1 began their incredible journey to the top? The answer is simple: karting.
It’s where many spent years honing their skills before reaching the pinnacle of motorsport. While we may only see them in F1, behind every racer are countless hours on the karting track.
Some of Kenya’s own motorsport icons like Baldev Chager, Tejas Hirani, and Jeremiah Wahome all began their careers in karting. Jeremiah Wahome competed in various open-wheel series like the BRDC British Formula 3 and F3 Asian Championships.
Tejas Hirani became Africa's first podium finisher in the FIA RX Lites World Championship, while Chager is now a multiple-time Kenya and ARC Safari Rally champion.
