Ghana to host 2027 Karting Africa Showrun

Ghana has secured the hosting rights for the 2027 Karting Africa Showrun, set to be held at the Independence Square in Accra in December. This marks the fifth time the competition will be staged in Ghana. The event is anticipated to draw around 60 drivers from 20 different countries. The President of the Ghana Motorsport Federation, Kwabena Poku, confirmed the decision to JoySports, stating it presents a significant opportunity for Ghana to display its motorsport capabilities.

He elaborated that the competition will see participants from 20 nations competing at the Independence Square, with approximately 60 drivers participating in proper racing karts. Ghana's victory in securing the hosting rights follows the country's impressive performance at this year's Karting Africa Showrun in Benguela, Angola. There, a team consisting of three Ghanaian drivers made history by participating against some of the most talented young racers on the continent, thereby highlighting Ghana's burgeoning ambitions in karting.

The hosting of the 2027 Karting Africa Showrun is expected to further bolster these advancements, offering even more prospects for budding Ghanaian drivers and fortifying the nation's commitment to developing motorsport locally. Interested participants can sign up through the official Karting Africa website, www.kartingafrica.com.
