We are Republic, we are one.
Over 20 years of history: from FTV-kart to Kart Republic Russia
The team traces its history back to 2003. Its first name was FTV-kart, after the initials of the main drivers. The collective then came fully under the management of Philipp Buznikov and became BPH Racing Team. In 2020, following an agreement with the KR S.r.l. factory — the manufacturer of Kart Republic, DAP and FA Kart chassis — the team took the name Kart Republic Russia and the status of the brand's official representative in Russia. Over twenty years in karting is not a one-season project: the team's senior drivers consistently fight for the top-3 of the Russian Championship and Pervenstvo. Our approach is simple: we measure, we don't guess. Our own Roteg-Dynoteg KD5-EVO dynamometer gives objective power figures for every engine — setups are built on data, not on feel. We are an official dealer of Kart Republic, DAP and FA Kart (Fernando Alonso) chassis and an IAME partner. We race the very equipment we sell and service — and we know it down to the last bolt. The team's goal is to become the most sought-after karting team in Russia.
Infrastructure
Dynoteg engine shop
Our own Roteg-Dynoteg KD5-EVO dynamometer. We measure each engine's power before and after preparation — decisions are made by the numbers.
Gatel hospitality
Two professional Gatel tents in the paddock: a work area for the mechanics and a comfortable space for drivers, parents and team guests.
Logistics
A transport truck and a motorhome: equipment, parts and the engine workshop arrive at every round — from Myachkovo to Sochi.
Staff
A permanent staff of professionals: mechanics, engineering, coaching. Each driver is handled by an engineer-and-coach pair.
