# What happened GFC Karting announced that Luis Laurin Speck and TBkart Germany are the official GFC chassis distributor for Germany, effective immediately. The deal gives German racers direct purchase and service access to GFC chassis, parts and technical support through an established local operation.
# Who is the distributor Luis Laurin Speck leads TBkart Germany. His background, as described in the announcement, includes more than a decade of international karting experience. He started with TBkart in 2012 as a factory driver and took over TBkart Germany in 2021.
