Max Toth, a 13-year-old from Belmont, California, will race in the CIV (Italian) PreMoto3 Championship in 2019.
Toth has signed to ride with Kuja Racing Service, which won the CIV Moto3 Championship in 2014.
“It’s not a new team. They’ve been around for 20 years, which we are very excited about,” said Bert Toth.

Max Toth will race a BeOn chassis with a spec Yamaha 250cc four-stroke engine, a new thing for the class and something Bert Toth is happy about.
“Hopefully this will be a good year for us because we’re not going to have any disadvantages with the bike or the team,” said Bert Toth. “I’m stoked that we can have a good bike for him. The tracks are going to be big. They are going to Misano, Mugello, and all those tracks, so it’s all going to be a big step for him.”
Bert Toth said he and his son will be traveling back and forth from California to Italy for the races and that his current school is willing to work around his travel schedule, and that traveling starts early in January for a test in Spain.
