About Us
RapiKart Racing League allows kart racers of various abilities the chance to race in a competitive environment, at minimal cost. We are passionate about giving racers the chance to develop, or revisit their skills without the huge responsibility of being an owner driver, or the expense of some of the national racing championships. RapiKart encourages hobby karters, returning serious racers, or even rookies wanting to develop their race craft.

OUR TEAM
Gareth J Thomas
Founder of RapiKart Racing League
With over 24 years of karting experience, my roots are from a local indoor karting championship that helped me develop from a complete novice, to an accomplished kart racer.
Since then I have competed all over the country, in multiple championships including Club 100, DMax and the RAF Karting Championships, picking up multiple race wins and podium finishes along the way.
With a busy way of life, my karting took a back seat. It was a shame to let all my experience go to waste. I wanted a fairly local, affordable and competitive championship, which helps bridge that gap between Arrive & Drive and Owner kart racing. With that basic idea, RapiKart Racing League was born, focusing on South Wales and Border Counties.
