Fortec Motorsport has confirmed that Aditya Kulkarni will graduate to the GB4 Championship with the title-winning team for the 2023 season, which starts at Oulton Park this weekend (8-10 April).

Kulkarni joins the Daventry-based team from the British Karting Championship, where he most recently placed seventh in a bumper 73-driver field in Junior Rotax.

The 15-year-old’s promising CV also includes front-running performances in the Kartmasters Cup, Rotax Festival and, further back, ‘O’ plate title success in Junior TKM back in 2021. Kulkarni also won the TKM Festival that year, becoming only the second ever driver to manage the feat in the same season.
