About PaketeS CUP
PaketeS was born in June 2023, after a crazy idea from two rental karting enthusiasts, Christian Pérez and Jon del Valle.
First, the podcast came about. A podcast that, before being launched, had several different names and logos, but after a few hours, we discovered the name we have today.
The podcasts started very well, having a more than decent acceptance for being the only ones dedicated to rental karting. At first, we achieved what was, for us, something incredible:
20 spectators at the same time!
Little by little, we worked very hard during endless nights. The podcasts gave wings to our ideas, and little by little, we grew.
Before PaketeS CUP was announced, there were already almost 40 simultaneous spectators Monday after Monday... something almost unthinkable for this passionate duo!
The big day arrived, and PaketeS CUP was announced in July. Initially, attendance was estimated at between 60 and 90 participants. Something that ultimately remained very, very far from reality.
The days were passing, the live shows were emerging... and direct by direct, our impact was increasing. We went from 40, to 50... then to 60 people watching these two guys from their homes...
The weeks went by, and in just 2 months of opening registration, we already reached 90 registered. Remember that for us, it was the most we thought we could go!
But week after week, direct to direct... everything got out of control.
We continued our endless nights, leaving the entire event as complete as possible. We took care of every detail, and each time, we came up with more crazy things...
And why don't we broadcast the race?
Why don't we give a detail to each participant?
Do we do jump starts?
There were a thousand ideas, each time crazier for us, but they materialized with a lot of effort.
So much so... that with 1 month left until the start of the PaketeS CUP 2023, we were already 180 registered!
¿??
What madness... we had doubled the maximum forecast that we once dreamed of.
But, at the last minute everything continued. For the first time, we reached 80 simultaneous viewers on our podcast. We exceeded the figure of 200 registered for the race.
During the race briefing, we far exceeded 100 spectators!
Finally, in the first year, 170 pilots attended from all over the peninsula, and also from other countries.
During the broadcast of the races, more than 2000 different people passed by... we reached peaks of almost 400 spectators at the same time. And more than 12,000 people have already watched the event on Twitch!
We managed to bring together a large part of the Spanish rental karting community at an event at KartCenter Campillos.
Germán Sánchez took victory in this first event, but be careful about the level of the final!
Anyone was deserving of this victory, since the level demonstrated by all participants was brutal.
GERMÁN SÁNCHEZ FLOR
THE FIRST CHAMPION
It comes from the white coast. At 34 years old, he is one of the most talented drivers to drive a rental kart.
Engineer for RACING Courses in F4, F3 and F2. Former professional F2 driver. He has everything he needs to be crowned champion of the PaketeS CUP 2023.
He is a driver with a winning mentality, which when added to his tremendous driving ability, results in the best Spanish driver of 2023 aboard a rental kart.
With almost full victories during the qualifiers, and a second position in the PRE-FINAL, it gave him a good cushion of points ahead of the FINAL race against his rivals.
In the FINAL, after overtaking and more overtaking, he managed to cross the finish line in second position, only behind Juan Sánchez G.
Congratulations Germán!
VICA SCHLEDZ
THE SECOND CHAMPION
One of the best drivers in the world. Belongs to the Blue Star team.
Already at 18 years old, he has achieved a runner-up finish in the world championship in Belgium, and is one of the most talented drivers on the planet.
He achieved this championship in 2024 thanks to his strategy in the final and his best position, since he was tied on points with his pursuer José Servián.
Congratulations Vica!
