Micro Max:
Jeremy Tallon will once again be the lone Micro driver in the team, but after one of his strongest performances at the first round he will be looking to continue his form at Ocala this weekend.

Junior Rotax:
This weekend KMS will be welcoming back one of its regulars to the team, Nataël Cantin. After some strong finishes at the end of the Canadian season and gaining some great experience at the SKUSA Super Nationals Nataël will be looking forward to getting back in the kart to make a start to his 2014 season.

Max Hofer is a regular to the KMS family in Europe having competed in the Rotax Euro Max and the Central Eastern European Championship. This however will be his first trip to the FWT and the team is keen to see whether he can translate his speed over to the weekend’s race.

Senior Rotax:
Once again Ben Cooper will be the sole Senior Rotax driver for the team and will be looking to improve massively from his disappointing first round. As long as he avoids getting ill we are sure Ben will be back to his best this weekend.

Rotax Masters:
Keith Miller will be competing for the first time in the FWT, but not for the first time with the team. He will be looking to gain some valuable experience and some strong results.

DD2:
Kevin Ludi returns for the second round and will be looking to continue where he finished here last year when he took the win in the wet conditions. We all hope Kevin can carry on from last year as we now the speed is there.

Emre Birizdo is another new face to the KMS North America team, but not to the KMS family. He was one of the KMS very first Rotax drivers back in 2007 and after competing in the World Finals in New Orleans he will be looking to enjoy his time back in the kart on US soil.

Again Poalo De Conto will be running with the team this week and will be aiming for the top spot in DD2. A solid first round is a good basis on which to start this weeks racing.

DD2 Masters:
Back again this round is Francis Mondou and he will be keen to get rid of his bad luck of the opening round. He showed some great speed at the last race and will be keen on getting the results this time round.
