The 2025 season will mark the launch of Parolin Motorsport USA, the official Parolin race team in the United States. This new venture is in cooperation with the Parolin Motorsport factory team based in Italy with product support from Parolin USA – the USA distributor of all Parolin chassis and products.

Leading the new Parolin Motorsport USA operation is Ben Cruttenden. In early 2024, Cruttenden joined Parolin USA staff as Technical and Operations Director after working with the brand for the last few seasons. The British native moved to the United States in the late 2000s and worked with a handful of race teams and importers before establishing his own race team.

“Parolin Motorsport USA is an exciting new venture with the goal of becoming one of the leading race teams here in North America,” commented Ben Cruttenden of Parolin Motorsport USA. “Utilizing my past experiences, our goal is to establish a strong foothold for the Parolin brand while offering a direct link for drivers to race with the Italian factory team in international competition.”

Parolin USA is the official distributor of the Parolin racing karts and products here in North America. Based in Miami, Florida, Parolin USA will continue supplying chassis and parts to its dealer network across the country.

“We are thrilled to see the expansion of our relationship with Ben expand to this new race team,” added Teddy Truchot, CEO of Parolin USA. “The addition of Parolin Motorsport USA will help us expand our support to those racing on the Parolin brand here in North America and provide stronger ties with the racing side of the Parolin factory in Europe.”

With Cruttenden leading Parolin Motorsport USA, the race team management will be rounded out with Italian Marco Maestranzi serving as team coach. Maestranzi – the 2014 SKUSA SuperNationals TaG Senior winner – has been working with Cruttenden’s race team over the last several seasons. Parolin Motorsport celebrated the KZ European Championship for Lorenzo Travisanutto and the KZ2 Masters European Championship for Riccardo Nalon along with the vice-champion in the Junior European Championship for Christian Costoya in 2024.

“This will be a great connection from our factory team in Europe to the United States,” expressed Marco Parolin, Parolin Marketing Manager. “We have enjoyed working with Ben over the last year in our development of the 2025 Parolin line. Now, we will have an improved link between the factory and the racers in the USA to further extend the success of the Parolin brand.”

The Parolin Motorsport USA operation is set to be based in Miami at the Parolin USA headquarters during the winter months before reestablishing in Indianapolis for the rest of the season. The team hauler will be stocked with Parolin chassis and parts to help service retail customers and dealers at most major karting events in the United States, including the Superkarts! USA Pro Tour, United States Pro Kart Series, Stars Championship Series and others.
