Resonate Brendel Racing: Karting safety questionaire

Karting safety survey

In order to get an overview of the state of karting safety, we have provided this survey here to the karting community, which we ask you to participate in. The more are taking part, the more interesting the information for all of us, and the more representative it is going to be.

So please fill out the questionaire below, as complete as possible. Your name and e-mail is not required and will not be collected. The accumulated results of this survey will be made available on this web-page to everyone soon.

Please, only fill out the questionaire once, so that the results will not be skewed.

Once you have clicked on the Submit form button, you will be transferred to the results page of the survey. This page is generated dynamically and will therefore already reflect your survey data.

Thank you very much!
