Pedro Acosta took part in a 24-hour karting race at Le Mans last weekend
KTM MotoGP star Pedro Acosta geared up for the upcoming Aragon Grand Prix by competing in a 24-hour karting race at Le Mans last weekend.
The 22-year-old is a regular at the Go-Karts Mar Menor track near his native Murcia in Spain, where he trains on four wheels and on a Supersport bike.
He joined a team from Go-Karts Mar Menor to take part in the Karting des 24 Heures at the Le Mans circuit.
Acosta and his team competed in the Open Kart 270cc race, with their machine sporting the No.37 he races with in MotoGP.

The Spaniard, who started from eighth position, didn’t finish on the podium, but was pleased with the experience.
“Amazing weekend competing in the Karting des 24 Heures. Thanks to Go-Kart Mar Menor family,” he wrote on his social media channels.
The event posted: “Karting des 24 Heures had the honour of having Pedro Acosta’s presence during the 24 Hours of Open Kart 270cc on the Prost B Track.
“Between the two MotoGP grands prix, the KTM rider came to have fun with friends.”
Acosta stuck around the circuit for the full 24 hours, dispensing with his usual race track comforts for an air mattress in a garage for sleeping on.
