How We Support You

Full Team Support

Whether you're finding your feet in club racing or preparing for a national campaign, we'll agree the support that suits your experience, equipment and goals. You stay involved in the decisions and understand what each service costs.

01
Paddock Setup

A professional race-day base where drivers can prepare properly, debrief clearly and stay supported between sessions, with the space, power, tools and facilities needed for a smooth weekend.

02
Mechanical Support

We can arrange an experienced race mechanic to help prepare the kart, make agreed setup changes and keep on top of checks between sessions. Mechanic fees are separate from the daily team fee, with the same mechanic used where possible for continuity.

03
Parts & Consumables

We help plan tyre requirements and manage the parts and everyday consumables needed through the weekend. General team consumables sit within the team fee; tyres and replacement parts are charged separately, as set out on our pricing page.

04
Engine Services

Engine support is handled through Aurum Racing Engines, the team's exclusive engine partner, keeping servicing, coordination and preparation straightforward so performance stays the focus.

05
Driver Coaching & Racecraft

Work on braking, racing lines, consistency and decisions in traffic with our driver coaches. Clear, practical feedback gives you something specific to work on next. We celebrate better technique and growing confidence alongside wins and podiums.

06
Data, Video & Setup

Review available data and camera footage with the team to understand where time is gained or lost. We connect what you feel in the kart with what we can see, helping you separate driving technique from setup and make purposeful changes.

Your Race Weekend

A Plan For Every Session

Good support starts before the kart reaches the grid and continues after the final flag.

01 / BEFORE THE EVENT

Prepare with purpose

Discuss your goals, the event and the support you need. Agree mechanic arrangements, tyres, preparation and any transport or storage requirements, with costs explained before you commit.

02 / AT THE CIRCUIT

Learn, adjust, repeat

Prepare for each session with a clear focus. Afterwards, talk through your feedback with the team, review available footage or data and agree the next step in your driving or kart setup.

03 / AFTER THE WEEKEND

Take the progress forward

Review what improved and what needs more work. Identify preparation or servicing for the next outing, so each weekend builds on the last rather than starting again.

Find Your Place At DER

Tell Dave where you're racing now and where you'd like to go next. We'll talk through a suitable route, the events we can support and the practical arrangements for joining the team.

A few things to tell us

  • Your current karting experience and class.
  • The kart and engine you own, or advice you need on equipment.
  • The circuits or championships you're considering.
  • The coaching, mechanical support or logistics you need help with.

New to Rotax? An experience day or the DER Academy may be the right first step before committing to a race programme.

Useful To Know

Your Questions

Do I need to be an experienced racer?

No. We support drivers at different stages. We'll discuss your experience and help you choose a suitable starting point, whether that's coached testing, an experience day, the Academy or a race weekend.

Do I need my own kart and engine?

For an owner-driver race programme, we'll discuss the equipment you have and any hire requirements before agreeing a package. Kart and engine hire are listed separately on the pricing page. Our experience days and Academy offer routes with equipment supplied.

Can DER help with storage and transport?

Yes, kart storage and transportation are available as separate services. Let us know what you need when planning your programme so arrangements and charges can be agreed in advance.
