    Patrick Long’s & Sebastien Bourdais’ Comments About the 8th Annual Kart 4 Kids Pro-Am Kart Race It’s only fitting that this year’s 8th annual Kart 4 Kids charity karting event takes place just a few steps from the entrance of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St Pete. It’s also just a stone’s throw from Dan Wheldon Way. Each year the event grows, the funds raised increase, and the awareness around a special hospital and a group of kids accelerate. Thank you to our hosts, all of the sponsors, partners, donors, pro drivers, and especially the large committee of great volunteers who make the production of this event happen. This event started off as a humble gathering, with the goal of raising a few dollars in the name of Dan Wheldon for the Hospital. Dan was a St. Pete resident, and someone who had a lot of time for All Children’s. We continue to race in his memory and smile as status and organization of this gathering continues to reach new boundaries! A few milestones were reached in 2018 for Kart for Kids. We managed to donate 130k$ to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, bring the event downtown and reinforce the involvement of the community and sponsors thanks to our amazing group of volunteers. The response from the racing community was no less impressive, with many drivers from different series donating their apparel and time. 2019 will be no less impressive and I want to thank each and every individual for their continued support.

  • Press Kit 2018 // FOREWORD
    Press Kit 2018 // FOREWORD It is a great source of pride for Groupe Renault and its employees to see the Renault name once again working its way to the sharp end of Formula 1. Motor racing is an intrinsic part of the Renault DNA and from Formula E races in cities to rallying through to Formula 1, we have always achieved outstanding results. Renault Sport Formula One Team’s ambition is clearly to uphold the outstanding record of the past and the 2017 season has confirmed we are on the right track. We are a team on the rise. We have two very talented drivers who are hungry for results. Enstone is regenerated and the workforce has already increased by more than 35%. At Viry, our long-term commitment in several motorsport categories allows to develop a detailed plan for our facilities. Our investment has so far been successfully translated to the track as we rose from ninth to sixth in the Constructors’ Championship in 2017 and ended the year with the fourth fastest car. The success of the programme in just two years is testament to the resilient plan laid down early in the creation of the team and the strong job done by Cyril and the entire Renault Sport Racing teams. I am convinced year three will take us one step closer to the long-term aim: winning races and challenging for championships. We are equally satisfied with the results we are seeing off-track. Formula 1’s new owners, have developed various marketing initiatives that have enabled the sport to grow into an even bigger brand and engage more closely with fans; steps forward which are incredibly important for us as the only mass market car constructor in the sport.

Once again, the response from the racing community allows us to showcase some awesome racing with some of the biggest names from the IndyCar, Prototype and GT series, all to help the kids at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. A massive thank you to everyone at Andersen Racepark and Green Savoree Racing Promotions, without their support, none of this would be possible! Now, enough words. Let’s have some fun and raise some money. Thank You, Patrick Long I first met Patrick at our 48 Hours event in Sebring. He was a red headed young kid that everyone said to watch as he was destined to be a great Porsche driver. He soon became the only American Porsche Works driver ever. As time went on he and I ran into each other at Daytona, 48 Hours and Sebring and got to know each other. When the idea was hatched for Kart 4 Kids, I called him and asked for his help. The event was to be in the memory of Dan Wheldon and Patrick’s reply was an immediate yes, he explained that the last time he raced against Dan was in karts.

  • Presentation 2018
    2018 INTRODUCTION Felix Rosenqvist, 26, is a Swedish racing driver, competing in the FIA Formula E Championship with Mahindra Racing. Felix Rosenqvist is the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European champion, a two- time Masters of F3 and Macau Grand Prix victor, and a three-time Formula Renault title winner. In October 2016, Rosenqvist entered the all-electric FIA Formula E championship, setting the fastest lap of the race on his debut in Hong Kong and taking his first pole position and podium just one event later in Marrakesh, Morocco. 2017 saw Rosenqvist evolve into a proper Formula E frontrunner, scoring a maiden victory at the Berlin ePrix in June and eventually taking third in the overall 2016-17 standings, as the top rookie. Rosenqvist continues in Formula E for a second season in 2017-18, getting the campaign off to a highly promising start by claiming a pole position, fastest lap and victory clean-sweep at the curtain-raising Hong Kong ePrix in December.
