OMP RACING

OMP Racing is an Italian company, established in 1973 in Genoa and nowadays having its headquarters at Ronco Scrivia. It is a world leader in the field of design and manufacture of safety equipment for racecars (suits, gloves, shoes, seats, safety belts, helmets etc.). In 2008 control of the company was acquired by Genoa-based SAYE Group.

Today OMP products can be found in racing and karting championships all over the world, including Formula 1; World Rally Championship - WRC; Rally Cross World Championship - WRX; Formula E; World Endurance Championship - WEC, Indycar Series; Nascar. OMP has been a renowned presence in the karting world for years. A new line of innovative suits was introduced by IPK group in 2015. The brand, since then, has experienced exponential growth in the karting world, becoming a real trend setter.

OMP is one of the very few companies in the world which are able to offer a complete range of items dedicated to racecars and to drivers’ safety, with over 2,000 products in its catalogue, which are almost all entirely homologated by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile – FIA.

New IPK‘s

digital ordering system and catalog

IPK will soon be introducing its new website, which will function both as a catalog of products for customers, and as an ordering system for IPK dealers. IPK sells more than 1000 unique products - from the tiniest screws to the most complex chassis. These products can fit together to form comprehensive, fully equipped racing machines, but sometimes it can be difficult to find out which products go well together. For that reason we have focused on product connections, so that the ordering system itself will guide users to find the products that they need easily. It is an important step that will make our database of products more accessible, which in turn will make our clients and dealers more comfortable.

IPKarting signs contract with XERAMIC Kart Lubricants

This year XERAMIC® Kart Lubricants celebrates the 20 years anniversary in karting and

recently signed a sponsor contract with IPKarting. CEO Ton Koebolt: “We are very happy with

this 5 years sponsor agreement with IPKarting,

especially because they are growing very fast in the world of karting due to their product quality, marketing strategy and performance”. “For

the past 20 years XERAMIC® has been the leading company in the kart lubricants and it is a

privilege for us to be related to IPKarting”. XERAMIC® Kart Lubricants was founded in

1996 and soon became one of the leading

brands in karting. It was mainly the passion for

the sport that brought this company the status

of number one for many years. Continuous research and development of new materials as well as long-term testing in laboratory and on

the karting track ensures that the XERAMIC ®

brand stands for quality. The 2 different XERAMIC® 2T Karting Oils, the famous Castor 2T Evolution and the SynMax 2T Oil, are used by famous engine manufacturers, engine tuners and racing teams all over the world.

Recently the Dutch based company introduced the new XERAMIC® Kart Chain Lube. “We received the feedback from the market that there was a big demand for a very sticky chain lube which works under all weather conditions and circumstances”. “Unlike other brands we only introduce new products once not just us but mainly our customers are fully satisfied with the performance of the product”. “It took us almost 1 year to say that the XERAMIC® label can be placed on this product”. Successfully launched on the KartMesse Exhibition in January this year Ton Koebolt says “Proudly we can say that this is the best chain lube we have ever produced and therefore the best chain lube in the world”.

SKF Kart Unit The SKF Kart Unit features the patented SKF ConCentra locking solution, which is designed to grip and center the axle relative to the centre of the bearing. This easy-to-install unit will provide a smoother turning axle which will accommodate the high loads that are typical in axle applications. The bearing in the SKF Kart Unit is especially designed for kart racing. It has a patented profile on the outside diameter to avoid the risk of misalignment during the race. It also has a removable shield so that the bearing can be cleaned and relubricated easily. SKF Kart Units are available with high quality steel balls or ceramic balls. Low friction ceramic balls reduce rotating mass and significantly increase bearing stiffness for a smoother turning angle. The SKF Kart Unit is a fully assembled and greased solution that is ready to mount straight from the box. www.skf.com Technical information SKF Kart Unit The SKF Kart Unit features the patented SKF ConCentra locking solution, which is designed to grip and center the axle relative to the centre of the bearing.
