“We’re delighted to be working with Tillotson and RPM on the T4 Academy. From Motorsport UK’s point of view, this is a new initiative aimed at helping competitors transition into owner-driver karting through a supported, four-stroke platform in both Junior and Senior classes. It’s exactly the kind of practical pathway project that can help more drivers take the next step with confidence.”
Andrew Fallon, Product Engineer at Tillotson Ltd, said:
“We are very excited to be launching the T4 Academy in collaboration with Motorsport UK and RPM. The initiative is aiming to create a clear and accessible pathway for drivers progressing from rental karting into owner-driver competition, allowing them to join our T4 Series UK events on equal equipment that ensures fair and competitive racing.
Drivers will be competing for great prizes, including places at the annual T4 Nations Cup event held in Valencia this year – a unique event where drivers represent their country on an International stage.”
Further information will be available via T4 Series UK, with updated details to follow in the coming days.
