Kart #2 - Tonykart chassis (F300)

The chosen kart: a straight, never-welded Tonykart with a spare set of rims, F300/F400 compatible. Coach Sebastian Lanzetti already knows and maintains this exact chassis - one coach, one kart, faster progression.

The Story

From backyard laps to the F1 grid

A highly competitive, naturally talented young karting driver. Ruvan began racing at the end of the 2023/24 season and immediately proved himself a front-runner - consistently on the podium and showing exceptional pace and racecraft. In 2025 he was crowned T4 Super Mini Champion and Most Improved Rider of the Season, and was nominated to represent Team South Africa in Spain. He now steps up to F300 in a Tonykart chassis - the same kart that coach Sebastian Lanzetti already knows and maintains - with COACT™ as Technology Sponsor.

Why Ruvan

A proven winner in a single full season. Determined, fearless and a fast learner - a worthy long-term investment with real potential for international success.
