Altum Corporate Finance advises Chrono Karting on its sale to MP Group

A trusted home for karting

Over fifteen years, Chrono Karting has grown into a leading organiser of karting competitions in the Netherlands and Belgium. Under the leadership of founders Ton and Gaby van de Burgt, the organisation built a strong reputation for sportsmanship, quality and a trusted format that drivers, teams and stakeholders have come to value over the years. With the acquisition by MP Group of Henk de Jong, that organisation gains a structural home within one of the most successful motorsport organisations in the Netherlands.

A natural next step for Dutch karting

Karting is the foundation of motorsport and, for many talents, the first step towards a professional career. MP Group is deeply rooted in motorsport and knows the competitions, the drivers and the sport from the inside. The combination with Chrono Karting strengthens the continuity of the competitions and creates room to develop the organisation further, while preserving the foundation built over the past fifteen years.

Continuity under trusted leadership

For drivers, teams and stakeholders, nothing changes. The competitions will continue as usual, with the same structure, the same atmosphere and the same focus on sportsmanship and quality. Gaby van de Burgt remains the driving force within the organisation and will continue the course together with Henk de Jong. The acquisition is therefore primarily a step behind the scenes, focused on the long term.

Sem Hage, who led the transaction at Altum Corporate Finance, said:
"Chrono Karting is a remarkable organisation with a unique position in Dutch and Belgian karting. Ton and Gaby have built something where drivers and teams genuinely feel at home. In MP Group they found the ideal party to safeguard that and take it further. We are proud to have advised them on this step."
