Following on from another very successful race season Tillotson is delighted to release details for T4 Series Ireland 2023. In association with Motorsport Ireland Karting, T4 Series Ireland calendar will again include both T4 Series National & Regional events.
T4 Bambino
Tillotson is proud to launch the newest T4 Series category, T4 Bambino, an affordable 4-stroke entry level karting category for drivers aged 6-8 years. This exciting new category will be offered at all T4 Series Regional events. The monobrand concept is identical to other T4 Series categories with a specifically designed Tillotson chassis powered by 105cc 4-stroke engine. T4 Bambino will use many of the same components as T4 Mini making everything from spares to tyres easily accessible and readily available. Slick and Wet tyres will be the same T4 Mini category.
