On the last weekend of January, Offenbach am Main in Germany was once again the centre of the karting world. The classic IKA Kartmesse trade fair hosted the world's largest kart exhibition for the 28th time, although in this new decade, the exhibition presented itself on a slightly smaller scale than in previous years. For the first time, the fair only opened six instead of seven halls.

The 2019 season will be the stage of a significantly evolved version of the model for the Mini category, the Rookie EV. The R&D Department of the OTK Kart Group mainly focused on the new BSM4 braking system and the bare frames geometries. The evolution presented for the two models Victory R and V2 R is reaching high evolution and refinement level, never obtained before.

On the French Essay circuit, the Victory S model of the FA Kart range, powered by the Vortex engine, conquered the CIK-FIA European Championship of the OKJ class.
