The Tony Kart Racer 401 RR, at the third round of 2022, conquers another important victory. On the occasion of the Champions of the Future Winter Series in Franciacorta, Simo Puhakka is the undisputed leader of the KZ2 category.

In a different setting to the WSK Promotion races held up to now, Birel ART showed the extent of its potential in all conditions. The Winter Series was a difficult weekend  with no lack of technical problems and numerous incidents punctuated the races. Despite this, Giuseppe Palomba managed to reach 2nd place in KZ2, Harley Keeble made an exceptional comeback in OK while Kirill Kutskov fought for a long time in the OK-Junior top three.

Registrations for the FIA Karting 2022 Championships, Cups and Trophies are open since Monday, February 7th on the FIA Karting website by following the link registration forms.

Here is the large selection of 25 drivers who will wear the Tony Kart colours in the main international competitions in the MINI, OKJ, OK and KZ/KZ2 classes.

In 2022, Frenchman Émilien Denner and Dutchman Senna van Walstijn will defend the colours of Sodikart in the top category of karting, KZ, aiming to shine in the major international competitions; the Winter Cup, WSK, European Championship and the FIA Karting World Championship.

Whether in the official Birel ART Racing Team or in the Leclerc by Lennox Racing Team, the Birel ART chassis confirmed their excellent competitiveness in Kristianstad. In spite of the extraordinary circumstances that forced several top drivers out of the race, Viktor Gustafsson was able to reach 4th place in the KZ World Championship, while Alessio Piccini crossed the finish line of the KZ2 International Super Cup in 5th position.

The team proved to be extremely competitive on the Kristianstad circuit at the FIA Karting World Championship KZ and the FIA Karting International Super Cup KZ2, but certain episodes affected the final results. After successfully completing the European championship of shifter classes, the Leclerc by Lennox Racing team presented itself at the most important event of the season with all the necessary requirements to be an absolute protagonist. In fact, the CL chassis produced by Birel ART and powered by TM Racing confirmed their value in both classes competing, KZ and KZ2.

Historic double win at the FIA Karting World Championship in Sweden for the Tony Kart Racing Team. On his home circuit of Kristianstad, Noah Milell conquers the 2021 title in the master class of the shifter karts, "accompanied" by his teammate Lorenzo Camplese, second on the finish line.

The FIA ​​World Championship KZ & KZ2 weekend, which took place in Kristianstad (Sweden) from the 2^nd to the 5^th of September, was lacking in satisfaction for the CRG drivers. After Giacomo Pollini's victory in the KZ2 European Championship and Paolo Ippolito's success in the Adria race in KZ, expectations were high, but the most important event of the year was not lucky for the CRG colors.

After three seasons dedicated purely to the direct drive categories from Mini to OK, Parolin Motorsport has made a successful return to the gearbox karting field in 2021 with its TM Racing engines. At the Kristianstad world meeting Lorenzo Travisanutto dominated the FIA Karting International Super Cup - KZ2 and added a fourth major success to his record. Parolin's success was complemented by James Wharton's top five finish and Viktor Öberg's 7th place.

The Kristianstad event concluded with pure and hard racing and several twists and turns. Sweden's Noah Milell was finally crowned FIA Karting World Champion - KZ after completely dominating the Final. The FIA Karting International Super Cup - KZ2 was won by Italian Lorenzo Travisanutto after a perfect Final. In the FIA Karting Academy Trophy, David Walther from Denmark won the Final while Maciej Gladysz from Poland won the Trophy.

The second day of the FIA Karting event in Kristianstad was a high quality sporting spectacle throughout the 18 Qualifying Heats which came one after the other. There was no shortage of drama and the Qualifying hierarchy was largely changed by the intensity of the races. The three polemen were notably dethroned.

The Swedish Åsum Ring has been the scene of some promising battles in all three categories of this FIA Karting event, with the final Free Practice and Qualifying sessions taking place. The Qualifying Heats, which start on Saturday morning, should not disappoint the spectators and observers.

The most important event of the season it’s finally here: the FIA ​​World Championship for the KZ and KZ2 classes will take place in Sweden on the Kristianstad track from the 2^nd to the 5^th of September. 28 top drivers will fight against each other in KZ and in this category the CRG Factory Team will line up 3 drivers with great ambitions: Jeremy Iglesias, Alex Irlando and Paolo Ippolito. Unfortunately Jaime Alguersuari had to forfeit due to the persistent pain in his ribs. The Spanish driver is expected to come back racing around the end of the season.

In Adria, on the occasion of the second and final round of the FIA European Karting Championship KZ-KZ2, the team achieved two podiums in the race, with Hiltbrand and Gustavsson, and two more in the championships, with Hiltbrand and Van Hoepen.

The FIA Karting European Championship in the KZ2 category came to an end at the Adria International Circuit in north-eastern Italy on the weekend of 15th August. James Wharton wanted to use this event to increase his points tally in the overall standings and end this high-level competition on a positive note. Unfortunately, the young Australian hopeful from the Ferrari Driver Academy experienced a series of setbacks, which did not allow him to confirm his performances during the meeting.

The second round of the European KZ & KZ2 Championship saw the Parolin Motorsport drivers demonstrate the effectiveness of their TM Racing-powered Parolin chassis in both classes. Lorenzo Travisanutto showed steady progress and finished on the KZ2 podium after a strong Final 10-place gain with the fastest lap, while Francesco Celenta, also the fastest in the Final, also made up ground to finish 7th in KZ.

In the final weekend of the FIA ​​European Championship, which took place on the Adria track from August 12th to 15th, the CRG colours were protagonists in both racing categories: KZ2 and KZ. Giacomo Pollini of the NGM Motorsport team won the title in the KZ2 category in the most beautiful and authoritative way, also winning the race. Also in KZ Paolo Ippolito lived a perfect weekend, obtaining a clear victory, while Alex Irlando had some difficulties and was unable to fight for the title.

The FIA Karting event in Adria (ITA) concluded in style with a breathtaking final day in the tradition of the first two. From the last Qualifying Heats in the morning to the Finals in the afternoon, this Sunday 15th August delivered races of rare intensity punctuated by resounding dramatic twists. The Italians were in the limelight in the gearbox categories. The Final of the FIA Karting European Championship - KZ was won by Paolo Ippolito, while the title went to Riccardo Longhi. In the FIA Karting European Championship - KZ2, Giacomo Pollini won both the Final and the Championship with flying colours. Poland's Maciej Gladysz won the Final of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy and took the lead in the provisional standings.
