This has also had some consequences in karting, whose business model has changed with a propensity for the Mini and Junior classes. Then there are those who, in addition to having intuited this change, have decided to put into practice an extremely ambitious project, which combines karts and single-seaters. We are talking about Danilo Rossi, 5 times world champion in karting, who besides building frames and engines with DR Racing Kart and Modena Engines brands, is also the owner of a team of F4 and Formula Regional.
