The next step

More car. Same passion.

In a kart you learn what matters: racing line, braking points, wheel-to-wheel racing. In a car all of that remains important – but a lot more comes into play. More weight that shifts under braking and turn-in, more power that you have to put down cleanly, and a vehicle that forgives mistakes differently than a kart.

That is exactly what the Winter-Cup is for. When the karting season is over, we take production-based touring cars to the Wachauring circuit. That way you stay in race mode over the winter and gain experience you need in karts and cars alike.

How far this path can lead is shown by our instructor Eric Tobler: after at times setting competitive lap times in the Winter-Cup with inferior equipment, he moved up to the DMV BMW 318ti Cup in Germany in 2025 and finished the 2026 championship in 3rd place.
