Two weeks after a frustrating weekend in the Champions of the Future Euro Series, the Birel ART Racing team turned things around in Sweden at the fourth and final round of the 2024 FIA Karting European Championship. Pedro Hiltbrand made a spectacular comeback in OK in the rain, after Charles Leclerc Racing's Matheus Morgatto had scored several top-five finishes in the dry during the heats. His teammate Ludovico Mazzola was also very competitive in the dry OK-Junior class.

Kart Republic has just taken the number of FIA European Karting Championship titles won in the OK category to six out of seven attempts since the Italian brand launched in 2018. At the final round in Kristianstad, Sweden, the KR-IAME packages were impressively successful: Joe Turney celebrated his first crown at this level with another win secured by a healthy margin; Fionn McLaughlin finished 3rd in the Final; Thibaut Ramaekers claimed Championship bronze in his first season in OK. In OK-Junior, Noah Baglin took 3rd place on the podium and was the top rookie in the overall standings, in which Iacopo Martinese came 3rd, as he did in 2023.

The FIA ​​Karting European Championship OK & Junior ended on the Kristianstad track last weekend, a 5-month journey that touched four different countries: Spain, France, Slovakia and Sweden.
