Race Action: 1st PAGID Racing Kart Grand Prix

The Background: "Beat The Pro" Initiative

As an official partner of the famous Nürburgring and its kart track ("ring°kartbahn"), PAGID Racing proudly supports the esteemed "Beat The Pro" initiative. This program features renowned race drivers setting benchmark lap times, challenging young, talented kart drivers to surpass these records.

Benny Leuchter, PAGID Racing's brand ambassador set a new "beat the pro" lap record with 24,184 seconds. In the last months, eight drivers rose to the occasion, showcasing their prowess and earning their spots in the 1st PAGID Racing Kart Grand Prix.

In November 2024, Benny Leuchter set the new record lap time.

This initiative drew significant interest, and eight drivers aged 9 to 40 managed to beat the record. The winners were invited on Saturday, April 22, 2025 to compete against Benny Leuchter on a newly built track. The event included free practice, qualifying, and a 30-lap race.

Thanks to weight equalization, all drivers raced under the same conditions. In the end, 15-year-old Jaden emerged victorious, beating the professional driver by two-tenths of a second. The event received positive feedback and provided an opportunity to engage with young talents.
