Behind MAD Performance are Max Hesse and Dan Harper. What connects them is not only their successful careers in international GT racing, but above all their shared roots in karting. Both Max in Germany and Dan in Great Britain celebrated numerous successes in karting early on, laying the foundation for their later rise in professional motorsport.
With MAD Performance, the two now return to their roots. Their goal is to support young talents on their path into competitive karting and to pass on their own experience, knowledge, and international network. The team focuses on the Mini, OK-N Junior and OK-N categories and competes in the German Kart Championship (DKM) as well as the ADAC Kart Masters – the most important karting series in Germany.
Together with the experienced race team NEES Racing, MAD Performance provides young drivers with a professional platform to further develop their skills and take the next step in their motorsport careers.
