Ten Must-See Moments of 2016
It was another wonderful year of karting for Canadian racers. Competing at home and around the globe, there was a roller coaster of emotions each and every time an engine was fired and helmet was strapped on.
We captured hundreds of thousands of photos this year and have hand selected ten images as must-see moments captured through our lenses.
