Kart racer / 2027 season / Seeking partners

01 The driver
Offered four sports.
Picked the one
with an engine.
Nathan grew up a soccer player. When he walked away from the pitch, his family challenged him to find a new sport: baseball, basketball, football, hockey. He chose karting. Then he started winning.
This is not a weekend hobby. Nathan has told his family that racing is the career he wants, and he has shown them with the work: simulator sessions before test days, 6:30 AM departures for the track, and lap times that keep coming down. He has won races, tested with a professional team, and earned an invitation to race a full season in 2027.

02 The team
Invited by a team that builds pros.
After testing with the team this fall, Nathan was asked to race full time in 2027 with Phil Giebler Racing, the Southern California outfit founded by a former IndyCar driver to bring professional standards to karting and move young talent up the ladder.

Two series.
Twelve rounds.
One final to earn.
The plan is a full Champions of the Future America campaign: the four-round West Division and the eight-round Club Series at K1 Circuit Winchester. Top drivers in each division are invited to the National Final, and national champions earn a paid entry to the World Final in Abu Dhabi.

2027 season budget
04 The goal
A full season takes more than one family.
Racing at this level full time runs upwards of $80,000 a year. Nathan's family is all in, and they are building a group of partners to put him on every grid in 2027.
- Team program and coachingRace-day support, data, driver development
- Race entriesTwelve rounds across two series
- Engines, tires and partsThe consumables of going fast
- TestingSeat time between race weekends
- TravelCalifornia, Utah and Nevada
The climb gets steeper, and so does the audience: the higher a driver goes, the bigger the stage for the brands on the kart.
