OUR ORIGIN STORY
Global Force Kartsport (GFK) Team Owner/Driver, Matt Zigaitis, is a veteran of the United States Navy having served aboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) from 2003-2008. His time in the service was as transformative as one could possibly imagine. Because of this, like most racers, his affinity to his number "74" is deeply rooted. This team is founded on the principles of the Navy Core Values, his service, and that of a US military veteran (see Impressum). GFK debuted in the 2019 iDrive Kart Racing League (Heavy Class) at the Gateway Kartplex. In October 2021, Zigaitis secured the iDrive Series Heavy Class Championship with two (2) captivating wins to determine the overall Shootout Victor. Championship winning Bobby Krug Racing Team (BKRT) continues his role overseeing team performance as our Technical Advisor. We also welcome newcomer and veteran-owned Regal Wear LLC Custom Designed Apparel as our exclusive merch partner ahead of the 2022 season opener! Zigaitis will make a run for the Ignite Spec Series Championship (Heavy), while Krug himself has been tabbed for the Ignite SuperComp Series Championship (Briggs Senior).
