The first leg races of the Motul 2026 Turkish Karting Championship held at TOSFED Gulf Race Track witnessed great excitement. The names supported by Turkrent with his belief in sports and athletes left their mark on the opening of the season with both their success on the track and their projects that raise social awareness.
The first races of the season, organized by Kocaeli Karting and Automobile Sports Club (KO-KART) and where 59 athletes competed fiercely, hosted hopeful moments for the future of motor sports.
Proud Success from a Female Pilot
Competing in the Senior category of the championship, Zeynep Çukurova won the first cup of the season by placing seventh in the general classification and first in the women’s classification with her high performance.
Meaningful Social Responsibility Project from Young Athlete Aras Pınar
Competing in the mini category, 9-year-old young talent Aras Pınar showed an exemplary behavior by combining his struggle on the track with a social responsibility project. This project, which contributed to the one-year education expenses of 20 children through the Turkish Education Foundation (TEV) within the scope of the race, reminded once again that sports are not only about speed and competition, but also a great tool for social solidarity.
While the first leg races completed in Kocaeli ended with trophies and awards given to the winning athletes, Turkrent athletes had a strong start for the rest of the season.
