The production of press releases was the first step in this new versatility, already implementing an editorial department and distribution techniques, which in 2004 was very innovative in the karting world. Given the growth of this activity, the website www.kartcom.com was launched in 2007 at the KF1 World Championship in Mariembourg where Marco Ardigo won his first world title.
In the beginning dedicated to the enhancement of press releases as a thank you for its customers' loyalty, Kartcom quickly developed its information site thanks to the production of numerous articles, and the presentation and the archiving of results going back to 2001. Since then, Kartcom has become an essential tool in the international karting world. 2018 saw the biggest increase with more than 1,300,000 visitors during the racing season. The second version of www.kartcom.com now allows users to benefit from a unique database of drivers, circuits, competitions and much more, which can be consulted free of charge.
