Daniil Kvyat, class of '94, among the "famous" drivers, is one of those most closely linked to karting. It's no surprise, therefore, to find him at the South Garda in Lonato for an intense day of testing behind the wheel of a Formula K kart.

On the other hand, the Russian driver, like so many others, started his career in karting, gaining not a few satisfactions: the third step of the podium at the European Championship KF3 in 2009 and, in the same year, the second place at the WSK International Series.
Then Formula Renault, GP3 and Euro F3, until the debut in F1: Toro Rosso, first, and Red Bull, then. Finally, in 2018, the transition to the red of Maranello in the role of test driver.

In Lonato, Kvyat is on track early morning, finding the Formula K racing team waiting for him with a KZ kart at his disposal. His "coach" was Jeremy Iglesias, official Formula K driver in KZ2 and, to supervise everything, nothing less than Cash Van Belle, reference of the IPK teams for everything related to the track and the technical indications that go from here to the technicians in the factory.
After the first run-in rounds, Kvyat, Iglesias and the other IPK riders start to pick up the pace and, with the help of telemetry, they fine-tuned the racong lines and took off several tenths of a second from lap times. Kvyat pushes hard and, certainly, does not dislike in the presence of those who use the kart every day. This is a sign of a passion never exhausted, and confirms, once again, how the kart remains one of the most effective and complete training methods even for pilots of higher categories.
