Racer Products sign multi-year KartSport partnership

KartSport New Zealand is pleased to announce the signing of Racer Products in a three-year deal that will see them become a supporting partner of the Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy Kartstars series.

Racer Products is New Zealand’s premier motorsport goods supplier, offering quality performance products as the exclusive New Zealand Distributor of some of the world’s leading brands, including OMP Racewear and Bell Helmets. The Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy Kartstars series enters its fifth season in 2026, which is set to be the biggest yet.

 The support of Racer Products will allow KartSport to offer great prizes for competitors, while also continuing to improve the free live stream product offered at each of the five meetings. Racer’s branding, including key brands OMP and Bell will feature throughout each stream, further highlighting their brilliant products to the wider sport.

Previously a supporter of the series in years gone by at a product level, the increased and renewed long term support by Racer Products is incredibly appreciated by KartSport New Zealand.

“Racer Products have long been fantastic supporters of KartSport New Zealand in the form of custom OMP race suits, plus vouchers for the Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy Kartstars series. This increase in support over a multi-year period is an incredible show of commitment to moving karting forward and we’re immensely grateful for their support,” commented KartSport New Zealand CEO James Hadley.

“Karting is the foundation of motorsport in New Zealand. It’s where drivers, families, and teams first learn the importance of motorsport safety, preparation, professionalism, and enjoying our great sport first-hand! I started my motorsport journey in the Cadet class when I was 6 years old - at Racer Products, we're passionate about supporting KartSport competitors from 6 to 66+ years old, by giving them access to the same world-class safety equipment used at the highest level of the sport. We're proud to be associated with KartSport New Zealand in a multi-year agreement, reflecting our commitment to motorsport from the grassroots up,” commented Racer Products co-owner Gene Rollinson. 

The 2026 Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy Kartstars series, supported by Racer Products, kicks off January 24^th & 25th at KartSport Marlborough in Blenheim, with the Harvest Marlborough championship.
