GFC Karting
Going back to the late 1990s and the early days of Superkarts! USA, Gary Carlton has been a force behind the wheel of a shifter kart. From his days as a Trackmagic factory driver, to his most recent exploits behind the wheel in Europe, Carlton is widely regarded as one of the greatest American shifter drivers of all time. Much of his time in the seat has been spent representing the factories of the most well-regarded kart brands in the world: IPK, Zanardi, Modena Engines, TB Kart, Intrepid and CRG, all the while racking up countless podiums and victories. On the back of all this success, and at the conclusion of winning the 2017 Granja 500 in Brazil, Carlton hung up his helmet for good to put his focus into a grand project, one fit for a once-in-a-generation talent. Carlton’s latest endeavor has been to develop a kart which would bear his name as the basis for a race team of his own.  

In less than 12 months Team GFC and the GFC Chassis line has already won many races both in Regional and National style events with numerous drivers with the focus on developing the best material possible while taking driver development to the next level in every aspect.

RLV’s goals include increased participation, user friendly products, noise level reduction, and the pursuit of high technology 2 and 4 cycle karting products. RLV offers a complete line of high quality exhaust products, silencers and many other quality karting products. RLV designs, tests and develops all of its products in-house.
