M18: D-19 Righetti Ridlofi

The Righetti-Ridolfi company was born in 1969 in the Verona region. In those days, it was a small family business specialised in the moulding of plastic. Karting did not yet constitute their main market but was soon to become so.

Enzo Righetti was such a Karting lover right from the beginning of the 1960’s that he built his own kart. He then started to import from the United States some components in order to meet the demand of the Italian market.

The production of plastic parts for Karting was to follow from the early 70’s, and his move in 1972 to a new headquarter, in Sona, was accompanied by the specialisation of the company in the manufacturing of accessories for competition Karting.

In 1984, the company continued its expansion, and Mrs Ida Ridolfi (Enzo Righetti’s wife) and her two sons, Maurizio and Gianpaolo, joined the firm. This new impetus allowed a development of the production, with a price-list of over 200 items. As years went by, Righetti Ridolfi modernised its tooling and completed its range of plastic products with aluminium accessories.

With 700 sales outlets throughout 87 countries in the five continents, Righetti Ridolfi is today one of the main companies in the world for the production of Karting accessories. It proposes approximately 2,700 different articles, mostly manufactured by the company itself.

In addition to the production of its own chassis under the company name Righetti Ridolfi, over the last few years it has acquired the makes Gold Kart, All Kart and Mac Minarelli, as well as the makes Aviomac and Mac Marine in the field of model building of planes and boats.

Drivers entered in the CIK-FIA U18 World Championship with Righetti:

Ivan Cordioli (It); Mattia d’Abramo (It); Alberto La Gala (It).
