The concept of International Go-Kart Week can be traced back to the early 2000s. A group of enthusiastic go-kart racers from around the world met during an informal event with a desire to celebrate the sport at a global level. The idea was simple: to dedicate a week every year to go-karting where enthusiasts from all over the world could come together, exchange stories, showcase their skills, and promote the sport they so passionately loved.
