The Pro‑Am races will be held on Wednesday, February 25th, at the T4 KartPlex (formerly Anderson Race Park) in Palmetto, FL. No prior racing experience is required, just enthusiasm and a desire to support an outstanding cause that directly benefits children. Sebastien and his family are residents of St. Petersburg and have championed Kart 4 Kids for 14 years, helping raise more than $2,000,000. He remains deeply involved, both behind the wheel and in rallying support from fellow drivers around the world.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet and speak with professional drivers from a variety of racing disciplines in an intimate, exclusive setting. While this year’s lineup is still being finalized, past attendees have included Patrick Long, Scott Dixon, Alex Palou, Josef Newgarden, Ryan Hunter‑Reay, Tommy Kendall, Helio Castroneves, and of course, Sebastien Bourdais.
