Today, the Port of Palma hosted the presentation of the 2014 Palma Port Kart Cup, an event previously held in Monaco, and which has come to Palma for the first time. The ceremony, which was presided over by the Chairman of the Port Authority (APB), Alberto Pons, was attended by the Deputy Mayor of Culture and Sport, Fernando Gilet, and the Managing Director of the Palma de Majorca 365 Tourism Foundation, Pedro Homar.
The presentation was also attended by Agustín Arbex, CEO of the event organiser, Arbex & Team; the Chairman of the Balearic Islands’ Automobile Federation, Rafael Abraham; the Deputy Chairman of Club Karting Rock and event coordinator, Ángel Martínez, and Borja Viladomiu from Karting Magalluf.
The 2014 Palma Port Kart Cup will take place on 24th, 25th and 26th October at the Camino de s’escollera in the Port of Palma. As Fernando Gilet explained, this event has been highly sought after for a long time, and comes with the backing of having taken over from Monaco. In parallel, the Deputy Mayor stated that the 2014 Palma Port Kart Cup will be “an excellent showcase for the city, which dovetails with the determination shown by the Palma City Council and the Palma de Majorca 365 Tourism Foundation in organising events that promote the city as a tourist and sporting destination”.
In turn, the APB Chairman pointed out that the event is "a tremendous boost for the Port-City project", and concluded that he was "very excited about this initiative which encourages residents and tourists to visit and enjoy the Port of Palma”.
