Tony Kart Rookie EVS

The Tony Kart Rookie EVS brings Tony Kart’s race-bred engineering to the 950mm MINI format. Developed through the work of OTK Kart Group’s R&D department and the Tony Kart Racing Team, it combines a 28mm chrome-molybdenum steel frame with premium OTK components, current bodywork and a highly adjustable driving position. The result is a focused Tony Kart rolling chassis for ambitious young drivers, parents and cadet teams looking for a premium OTK Rookie package with knowledgeable UK support.

Why choose the Rookie EVS?

• Race-bred Tony Kart development: the Rookie platform is refined by OTK Kart Group’s R&D department together with the Tony Kart Racing Team.
• Refined BSM5 braking: 4A brake pads work with a 149mm floating rear disc to meet the demands of MINI karting.
• Current aerodynamic package: M9 front bodywork, M8 side bumpers and rear protection are paired with an integral floorplate designed to reduce vortex and turbulence around the kart.
• Premium OTK componentry: BMT4 stub axles, 235mm steering rods, magnesium front and rear hubs and an aluminium chain tensioner form a high-quality chassis package.
• Highly adjustable driving position: forged multi-adjustable aluminium pedals, eccentric camber and caster washers, an Alcantara steering wheel and a three-litre fuel tank help tailor the kart around the driver.

Driver fit and adjustment

MINI drivers grow quickly, so a chassis needs to be easy to tailor around them. The forged multi-adjustable pedals give a useful range of driving-position adjustment, while the eccentric washers make camber and caster changes straightforward for the team.

What is included?

What is not included?

Engine and tyres are not included. Engine preparation and class-specific equipment are included only where separately agreed.

Official photography shows a fully assembled kart for model identification. Only the equipment stated in this listing forms part of the supplied package.

Upgrade to a Tillett seat

For drivers looking for a more tailored seat choice, the Rookie EVS can be supplied with a Tillett seat upgrade. We can advise on the most suitable model, size and stiffness for the driver and intended setup.

The standard package includes the OTK seat. Choosing a Tillett instead is an optional paid upgrade, not a requirement.

Competition and specification guidance

Championship eligibility and the permitted chassis, engine, control tyre and equipment can vary by class. Speak to us before specifying the kart so the intended championship and tyre requirements can be checked against the current regulations.
