Total Karting Zero Zero (TKZ) is the brainchild of F1 engineer Rob Smedley and offers a full-service proposition to kart racers aged 6 to 17 years old across four classes – Bambino, Cadet, Junior and Junior Light. For 2023, TKZ is running two six-round Regional Championships (North & South) followed by three National Championship events, all on Motorsport UK licenced tracks. Training and Open Practice events precede each of the one-day race meetings. The events are organised by TKZ with the bespoke electric karts provided to the drivers within the package together with full technical support. Using race-spec Birel chassis and battery powertrains developed in-house by the Smedley engineering team, the karts provide a level of parity which is difficult to achieve with conventional ICE motors. Uniquely, the TKZ Championships also put a focus on education, with drivers completing online STEM based learning modules, completion of which contribute to their Championship points. TKZ has also recently launched Talent ID, a sophisticated cloud-based data-driven talent identification and tracking platform available to all Championship drivers. The initiative is designed to establish talented drivers through data and support their development.
