FROM PETROL
TO POWER.

We started in combustion. We switched to electric in 2025 and took P1 in acceleration in our first EV season.

Before the rename we raced as Precisio. The kart carried number 41 and the name across its nose. That car won us an Innovation Award and a Go Green Award in the IC category.

THE REBUILD

New name, new class, new everything. We moved the frame to AISI 4130 chromoly, designed a 6 kW electric drivetrain around a 60 V pack, and built our own telemetry to watch it work.
