Rubbered-in tarmac and high kerbs, with cover that keeps pace

icon Frais médicaux

Cracked ribs from the seat, treatment taken care of

In a kart, the body absorbs everything: constant lateral loads, impacts against the seat, contact into turn one. Cracked ribs and injured wrists or ankles are common. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, whether for treatment, a hospital stay or surgery after the accident.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Hurt far from home at a different host track every year

The championship moves between European countries, and sometimes the team has to leave without its injured driver. Assistance covers evacuation and repatriation at actual cost, from the paddock to your front door, whatever your country of residence.

icon Option compétition

Heats, prefinal and final, all under the Competition option

A World Championship weekend runs through timed practice, qualifying heats, a prefinal and a final, and every start packs the field together. The Competition option covers official racing at this event and across the season, national and international championships included.

icon Capital invalidité

Flipped at full speed? A capital of up to €200,000

A kart that climbs over a rival's wheel can roll, and drivers are not strapped in. A spinal injury or head trauma can shape the rest of a young driver's life. The permanent disability capital can reach €200,000, paid once your condition has stabilised, according to the degree recognised.

Where do the injuries come from at a karting world final?

At world level, gaps are counted in hundredths and drivers brake late, wheel to wheel. The first corner after the start is where the tangles pile up. Add autumn weather that can turn damp, wet tyres to manage and the fatigue of a long weekend, and a single touch can send a kart into the tyre wall or onto its side.

These drivers race almost all year: private testing, national series, international championships, often a long way from home. An injury in a midweek test counts as much as a crash in the final. Our karting insurance covers training and racing alike, in France and abroad, whatever your country of residence.
