The Skip Barber Racing School and the Orlando Kart Center are proud to unveil a new partnership that will provide opportunities for karters who compete at the Orlando Kart Center. Skip Barber Racing School programs will be awarded to competitors at the Orlando Kart Center, allowing up-and-coming karters to experience the training that has crafted champions for 50 years.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to team up with an organization as legendary and deeply rooted in motorsports as the Skip Barber Racing School,” Orlando Kart Center manager Daniel Lee said. “This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting, long-term collaboration, giving us the opportunity to reward some of America’s top kart racers with an incredible chance to jumpstart their professional motorsport careers,” Lee added.

Recipients will have the opportunity to attend a Skip Barber Racing School program and join an iconic list of alumni, including two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden and reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano.

Bridging the gap between karting and car racing has been a central focus of the Skip Barber Racing School since its inception. With One-Day, Three-Day, and Two-Day Advanced Racing School programs leading up to the Skip Barber Race Series, the path from karting to formula racing is clearer than ever.

With a team of instructors experienced in teaching the karts-to-cars transition, an in-house media and marketing effort, and a dedicated team of technicians all operating under one tent, the Skip Barber Race Series is the most efficient way to go formula car racing.

“From the moment Skip Barber founded his school in 1975, we’ve prided ourselves on being the definitive driver training destination,” Skip Barber Racing School Chief Marketing Officer Dan DeMonte said. “In the future, we’re going to have drivers who competed at the Orlando Kart Center, trained with Skip Barber, and went on to achieve great things in racing, and that’s such an exciting prospect.”
