Tottenham Hotspur reached a fifteen-year agreement with Formula One. The English club will build the first karting track inside a stadium and will develop a driver recruitment program to discover the stars of tomorrow.
The ‘Spurs’ will build this electric go-kart track under the stadium, expanding the multi-use options of a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that it also hosts NFL and rugby games, concerts and boxing evenings.

The track has been given the go-ahead by the UK’s national karting association and could host championships in the future.
In addition, Tottenham, along with Formula One, will develop a talent recruitment program through educational activities in schools, to attract young people interested in the motor world, not only in piloting, but also in phases such as engineering and software development.
Environmental responsibility is another of the objectives of this program And while Formula One plans to zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, Tottenham is the “greenest” club in the Premier League, with a goal of reducing emissions to zero by 2040.

Stefano Domenicali, president of Formula One, assured that this agreement is a way of “continue the growth of the sport around the world” and take it to “new audiences”.
“The karting track will be an experience for families, friends and aspiring drivers,” said Domenicali.
The Tottenham stadium, inaugurated in the spring of 2019, cost more than 1,000 million euros and is the great asset of the London team and one of the main reasons why the team’s owners have refused to accept offers for the club, such as the one allegedly made by Iranian billionaire Jahm Najafi, worth 3.75 billion euros.
