About Fat Karting League (FKL)
FAT Karting League is a global arrive-and-drive electric karting league for drivers aged 5–17. Founded by former Ferrari F1 engineer Rob Smedley, we’re building a new generation of motorsport that puts talent, development and competition first.
As a growing organisation, we’re building more than just a karting league. With plans to expand into other areas of motorsport, we’re creating opportunities for people who want to grow with the business and develop their careers as we scale. We’re looking for driven individuals who thrive in fast-paced, energetic settings, take pride in high standards, and are motivated by responsibility, progression, and being part of something that’s moving forward.
With regions across the UK, US and Germany, we're growing quickly and building a brand that sits at the intersection of motorsport, technology, competition and youth development.
We combine commercial focus with high standards, ownership, and a clear drive for performance. Our environment is dynamic, hands-on, and built for people who are hungry to grow, take responsibility, and help shape a business that’s still being written.
We’re looking for individuals who are motivated by progress, comfortable in a fast-moving, evolving environment, and ready to play a meaningful role in a group that values initiative, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
