27 Oct Korus Group is born
Korus Group brings together eight leading Italian companies in an integrated motorsport ecosystem: the first capable of bridging the worlds of karting and racing cars.
[PRESS RELEASE] October 27, 2025
Korus Group officially took shape on October 27, 2025, as the Italian platform representing motorsport excellence at 360 degrees worldwide. Korus, whose majority shares are held by the TEC Racing vehicle promoted within The Equity Club initiative, is built on the solid foundations of Tatuus Racing, ATM – Autotecnica Motori, and Breda Racing, which began joining forces in 2017–2018.
They were later joined by YCOM in 2024, while in 2025 majority acquisitions of BirelArt, Next Solution Technologies, IAME, and Kart Republic were completed.
Korus Group thus emerges as a true motorsport ecosystem — the only one in the world capable of bringing together under one roof iconic manufacturing brands from both karting and open- and closed-wheel racing, creating a high-value bridge across the worlds of motorsport and engineering.
It represents a comprehensive hub for 360-degree racing, capable of designing and manufacturing in-house — thanks to the work of more than 360 employees — every element that contributes to a racing vehicle, and supporting its life on track. A Group that, much like a chorus, operates in synergy to achieve one harmonious result.
A defining trait of the Group is its Italian DNA, a distinctive hallmark shared by all companies united under the Korus brand. Together, they bring elite positioning in the global motorsport landscape, combining strong tradition and heritage with a natural drive for innovation. The result is a balance that consistently gives rise to projects and products which, after taking shape in the Italian headquarters of the Group’s companies, take to racetracks around the world.
An ecosystem capable of creating every type of vehicle — and every component that makes it — with a focus on racing but an open eye toward natural connections with the automotive and mobility industries.
A true “one-stop shop” for any high-performance project seeking excellence, engineering, speed of execution, and collective manufacturing capability to turn vision into success.
The entrepreneurs and managers who led each company to success now converge at the head of the Group as minority shareholders, combining vision and experience while giving tangible proof of the commitment made by some of Italy’s most prominent business families. The Group also benefits from a cross-functional management structure, coordinating key strategic areas — from engineering to finance, business development, and communications — to foster operational synergy and shared growth among the companies within the holding.
“We are living a historic moment for our companies and for Italian motorsport”, said Giovanni Delfino, CEO of Korus Group. “What began in 2017 with Tatuus and ATM reaches today a new stage of growth and recognition thanks to the arrival of companies that not only embody the spirit with which this holding was created, but are also established leaders in both racing and karting. Thanks to major investments in the karting sector, we are now creating the only organization in the world capable of building a bridge between karting and open- and closed-wheel racing — a strong and revolutionary connection, grounded in the solid foundations of our Group’s shared projects, engineering excellence, and the talents that drive them every day.”
“When TEC Racing acquired the majority stake in May 2023, it did so with a clear vision”, added Roberto Ferraresi, CEO of The Equity Club. “A vision built on the awareness that motorsport was
entering a phase of major expansion, and that bringing together niche yet elite Italian companies could create a truly world-leading group. Thanks to a structure rich in expertise, and the mutual trust shared among the many managers and entrepreneurs who have chosen to join the Korus project, that vision has today become a well-defined reality — one built on growth, ambition, and a deep passion for motorsport.”
“Motorsport has always been synonymous with projects born through collective effort,” said Gianfranco De Bellis, President of Korus Group. “Korus embodies the true essence of motorsport — the ability to deliver complete projects through deep engineering and innovation expertise, combined with the unique capacity to support drivers through every stage of their growth. Each company within the Group is committed to excellence through teamwork, passion, and meticulous attention to detail in every decision.”
