Ep13: Grid kids and girls on track - interview with Karting Australia Lee Hanatschek, Part 2
Description
Has the rise of Formula 1 seen an increase in girls jumping in karts to race?
Karting Australia Chief Operating Officer Lee Hanatschek talks about girls on track, the successful and very cute grid kids program, and how young racers are more focussed on fitness, reaction times and nutrition than ever before.
There’s also a really cool opportunity for the Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix as well as the Stars of Karting race where 100 of the best drivers come together ahead of the Aus GP with some special guests.
The list of Karting Australia’s grid kids is long and impressive including Oscar Piastri. Listen as Lee tells us how kids get involved in karting and the progression of talented racers, including some young hopefuls currently racing overseas.
Please enjoy the second part of our conversation with Lee Hanatschek, and catch up on Part 1 in Episode 12.
