GFC Karting Expands European Presence with Official German Distribution Partnership

GFC Karting is proud to announce Luis Laurin Speck and TBkart Germany as the official distributor of GFC Chassis in Germany, effective immediately.

The partnership represents an important step in GFC Karting’s continued international growth, establishing a dedicated presence in Germany and providing racers with direct access to GFC chassis, parts and technical support.

Experience Meets Opportunity

Luis Laurin Speck of TBkart Germany

Luis brings more than a decade of international karting experience to the GFC network. His involvement with TBkart began in 2012 as a factory driver before taking over TBkart Germany in 2021.

His racing career has taken him across Germany, Europe and the United States, competing in Rotax, OK, X30 and gearbox categories. At just 14 years old, Luis competed in the 2018 KZ World Championship in Lonato, Italy, and he remains an active competitor today.

Beyond the track, Luis serves as Team Principal and Driver Coach at TBkart Germany Rotax and operates an official Rotax Service Center, bringing together competition experience, technical expertise and driver development.

Building GFC in Germany

The partnership brings together two operations shaped by a shared commitment to competition, development and performance.

“Luis represents exactly what we look for in a GFC partner,” said Gary Carlton, Founder of GFC Karting. “He has the experience, technical knowledge and passion for the sport to build something meaningful. We’re proud to have him representing GFC in Germany and look forward to what we can accomplish together.”

Luis Laurin Speck added:

“Representing GFC in Germany is an exciting next chapter for us. Gary and I share a strong vision for karting and driver development, and I look forward to establishing GFC here and building something that will continue to grow for years to come.”

GFC Chassis are available to order in Germany immediately through Luis Laurin Speck and TBkart Germany.

The partnership further expands GFC Karting’s international network and reinforces its mission to build a global brand rooted in racing, technical development and relationships that extend beyond the track.
