This month on The Karting Show - we discuss MSA Formula refugee Josh Smith and his Formula Kart Stars return, we review the OK engine, banter about the TKM revival in Super One and rate the chances of Callum Bradshaw and Oliver Clarke as our CIK-FIA Academy racers. Presented by Jake Sanson, with Henry Beaudette, Lee Henderson, Chris McCarthy and Piers Prior.

A new year, a new look for 2016! Jake Sanson discusses with Chris McCarthy, Lee Henderson and Piers Prior about Karting Magazine going digital and entering its own race team, the new MSA track limits rule in karting and what it could mean to the sport, and whether or not it makes more sense to stay in karting rather than to switch to car racing at 14. You'll also hear from FKS and Super One national cadet champion Dexter Patterson, North West based club racer Jade Redfern-Goodwin and the new favourite for the Super One Junior TKM title in 2016, Abbi Pulling.

Jake Sanson discusses a brilliant 2015 season in the British karting scene and he's joined by Chris Dawes, Lee Henderson, Chris McCarthy and Piers Prior to discuss Formula Kart Stars, Super One, Euro Rotax Max Challenge, Henry Surtees Foundation, British Superkarts and more. We also preview two events Downforce Radio will be broadcasting live over the next two months: the Johnny Herbert Karting Challenge and the Dan Wheldon Karting Trophy. Plus we interview newly signed Racing Steps Foundation racer Alex Quinn about how his final season in karting has been before his move into MSA Formula in 2016, and we speak to Super 1 commentator Alan Taddei about the best moments of 2016 and what improvements and changes we can expect to see in the sport next year.

Jake Sanson, Lee Henderson, Chris McCarthy and former British Superkart Grand Prix winner Toby Davis discuss the latest news in the British karting scene, pinpoint the major karting events coming over the next month and ask some burning questions in the karting world right now. Are drivers leaving karting and jumping into cars too young? Is national karting cheaper than racing cars? And why is gearbox karting not as popular as it used to be? Find out what we all think on The Karting Show!

We begin our brand new karting show with a look behind the scenes at the annual Kartmania show at Silverstone, to meet prominent figures from the likes of the MSA British Superkart Championship, CovKartSport, Rissington Kart Club and the Northern Karting Federation. Plus we interview star female driver Susanne Gutzold, we explore the world of MSA Bambino racing, we look at a club meeting at Hooton Park, we give you an experts guide as to how to begin your karting career from any age, and we look at which drivers will be the ones to watch in Super One's MSA and Rotax Championships in 2014. Presented by Jake Sanson and Alan Taddei. With thanks to Super1TVProductions.
