Ocala Gran Prix is proud to announce a new partnership with IAME engines and MG Racing Tires. The central Florida facility and kart shop is a vital part to the growth and expansion of karting, and has been a major developer of today’s top drivers in North America. OGP has become a very respected name in the karting industry for what they do on and off the race track. The 6/10-mile OGP circuit is among the top facilities in the state of Florida, hosting major events annually in addition to regional and local events throughout the calendar year.

“I believe that the IAME and MG Racing Tires is an excellent addition to Ocala Gran Prix product line,” stated Jorge Arellano – President of Ocala Gran Prix. “In the last couple of years, I have been watching the IAME and MG brands grow throughout the United States. I also have been interested in IAME working to enter the market of Florida. I believe with the full support of OGP, we will be able to help grow the Southeast market for the IAME brand. I look forward to the new challenges and the new relationships we will be developing around the area.”

IAME and MG Racing Tires racers throughout the Southeast will have the opportunity to race at one of the country’s most popular venues – Ocala Gran Prix. Its highly successful club series is the largest in the state of Florida, hosting events year-round for all age categories and driver experience from beginners to national-level competitors.
