“Karting is the great school for racers”, said journalist Reginaldo Leme during a chat with karting racers this week, on schedule for the 54th Brazilian Karting Championship - Prati-Donaduzzi.

The competition takes place until Saturday (27) at Darci Damian karting track in Cascavel and is attended by Stock Car racer, Valdeno Brito.

For nearly two hours, the audience of over 100 young racers of the grassroots category listened to the tips and advice of the journalist who has covered over 700 Formula 1 Grand Prix, as well as following and commenting on many other national and international categories.

Leme pointed out that all the great racers of the main world motor racing category started from karting. According to the journalist, being a great karting racer is the first step to being a Formula 1 or touring category racers, but it is not enough. "Anyone who doesn't do karting has no means to start a career in motorsport", he said.

With wide experience in motorsports and socializing with thousands of racers, Leme said that along with talent, dedication is required, ranging from healthy habits to hours and hours of training. “It is necessary to make efforts on and off the track. Including being cordial and communicating well.”

Thrilled

In addition, he realizes the effort of the Brazilian Automobile Confederation (CBA) to bring karting to the media with well-organized events, television broadcasts and attractive prizes. “I was thrilled to see such young boys at 11, 12, 13 years old standing up and asking like real adults on our meeting. I appreciate the opportunity and hope to help in the next opportunity”, commented Rede Globo's F-1 commentator.
