Pole-setters from each class receive the award and a pair of gloves
When the German Kart Championship kicks off the new season this weekend at Arena E in Mülsen
the top German karting series will present a Pole Position Award in all classes for the first time
The award is sponsored by glove manufacturer 32Five
The German Kart Championship is under starter’s orders
X30 Junior and X30 Senior classes will do battle for race wins and championship points
this year there will not only be trophies for the top five after the final race – new glove brand 32Five is presenting a Pole Position Award for all classes for the first time
Every pole-setter will receive a golden trophy in the form of a glove
as well as a pair of 32Five gloves in the driver’s size
The winners of qualifying in Mülsen will be among the first drivers in the world to receive a pair of 32Five gloves – they only officially go on sale on 1st May
The two creative minds behind 32Five are Patrick Kreutz and Paul Seliger
Kreutz has been involved in national and international karting for over 20 years and gained his first experience of the sport as a driver
He has had his own teamwear brand for a number of years
is renowned for innovative helmet designs and supplies drivers from a wide range of motorsport categories
The idea for 32Five came about coincidentally during a phone call in the middle of 2023
the only thing that differs is the layout: all the gloves are produced in accordance with the latest standards and already meet the homologation conditions due to come into force from 2025
the experience of active kart drivers was incorporated in the design
True to the motto: “From Racers For Racers”
The new DKM season kicks off in Mülsen after a winter break lasting almost six months
for the first time this year and comprises a total of six race weekends at kart tracks in Mülsen
The racing features two international classes: DKM (KZ2) and DJKM (OK-J)
X30 Junior and X30 Senior classes are held as national competitions
