The 1^st Round of the FIA ​​European Championship for the KZ and KZ2 classes is scheduled for this weekend in Wackersdorf, from the 17^th to the 20^th of June. The 2021 Continental Championship will be awarded over 2 races and after the opening round in Germany it will end in August on the Adria racetrack, in Italy.

From 60 Mini to KZ2, you can always count on the Energy Corse team in the major international events! The young Latvian Tomass Stolcermanis demonstrated this during the second round of the FIA Karting European Championship by finishing 3rd in the OK-Junior category. His Russian teammate Tigran Bunatyan was also at the forefront in France on the Aunay les Bois circuit. Proof that the Energy Corse-TM Racing teams will be a force to be reckoned with throughout the 2021 season.

On the track of Aunay-les-Bois, the Tony Kart Racing Team takes part in the second round of the FIA Karting European Championship 2021. Their drivers of the OK and OKJ classes have the right pace to obtain important results, but they are not able to succeed in the final despite the good performance shown throughout the weekend.

Two weeks after his performance in KZ2 at the WSK Euro Series, James Wharton returned to the Lonato circuit, as well as to his OK kart, in order to prepare for the upcoming European events. The last round of the WSK Super Master Series allowed the Australian to demonstrate his fighting spirit in a difficult context and his 24-place improvement from Qualifying to the Final did not go unnoticed.

A benchmark competition team on the international scene for more than two decades, Energy Corse is getting ready to start this new season in the best possible circumstances. No less than 14 drivers have already been announced and will race under the famous colours of the team led by Mick Panigada.

The line-up of drivers and the race calendar of the Tony Kart Racing Team have been defined, which will be on track in all the main international events in the 60 Mini, OKJ, OK and KZ/KZ2 classes.

Jordon Lennox-Lamb became team manager of a factory team in 2019 when he was only 27 years old, and it wasn't long before his new status became a reality with his first European Championship with Sweden's Viktor Gustavsson in the KZ2 category.

Jordon Lennox-Lamb’s team lines up at the start of the new season with 13 drivers from nine different countries to compete for international honours in all classes, ranging from Mini to KZ.

19 names have been confirmed by the Racing department of the Italian company, which will be present in all categories, from Mini to KZ, OKJ, OK and KZ2. They will soon be joined by a driver from the "Richard Mille Young Talent Academy" programme who is still to be nominated.

From January 2021, Sodi Racing Team will take on a new dimension, in order to pursue its development objectives in the international KZ / KZ2 / OK-J / Mini CIK categories.

For its return to the gearbox categories, Parolin Racing Kart has chosen to put it's faith in the talent and experience of Francesco Celenta. The Italian driver has many top results in KZ and KZ2 on his record, notably acquired with Parolin a few years ago.

A benchmark team in the international karting paddock, Energy Corse has not failed to put its drivers on the way to the podium in recent weeks. After his title in the WSK Super Master Series, Russian Dmitry Matveev won the first edition of the Champions of the Future series in 60 Mini. And at the OK-Junior World Championship in Portimao, Japan's Schu Dozono was a revelation in the colours of the Italian team. Once again, the experience and know-how of the technical staff played a big role in these successes.

The Champions of the Future series held at Portimao was the perfect time to hold a final rehearsal in optimal conditions before the FIA Karting World Championship in the OK and OK-Junior categories. This was on the minds of all the drivers, who gathered a lot of information in preparation for the biggest event of the season. In terms of results, Polish driver Timoteusz Kucharczyk proved to be the top representative of the official Birel ART Racing team.

A 21 year old driver, crowned FIA Karting European Champion - KZ2 in 2018, Adrien Renaudin is still considered as one of the youngest in the KZ category. On several occasions, the Frenchman has given his experienced opponents a hard time, becoming a key member of the Sodikart team. His status as a professional karting Driver makes him happy, aware that many other Drivers would like to take his place. Now, he hopes to take up many more challenges at the highest level...

The Birel ART brand continues to win at the highest level worldwide! And if it isn't with the official team, success comes with a private team, demonstrating once again that the Italian chassis is indeed the current benchmark in the KZ and KZ2 categories. Simone Cunati dominated the Final of the KZ2 International Super Cup masterfully, while Giuseppe Palomba ensured a double despite starting in 7th position. 2019 World Champion and reigning European KZ Champion Marijn Kremers, his Ricciardo Kart colours and TM engine were just 4 tenths from a new title. They clinched the Vice-World Championship after a difficult but perfectly managed event by Birel ART.

At the end of the spectacular Finals, the Frenchman Jeremy Iglesias was crowned FIA Karting World Champion - KZ. The Italian Simone Cunati won the FIA Karting International Super Cup - KZ2 and the Israel's Ariel Elkin won the FIA Karting Academy Trophy Final, while the American Connor Zilisch won the Trophy.

South Garda Karting circuit at Lonato has been asked to host the FIA Karting World Championship - KZ, the FIA Karting International Super Cup - KZ2 and the third competition of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy from 2nd to 4th October.

The evolution of the weather situation has again played an important role in the 18 Qualifying Heats held on Saturday, 3rd October at Lonato. The heavy rain in the morning was followed by sunny weather that allowed the track to dry out. Kremers (NLD) managed to keep the advantage in KZ, Giannoni (ITA) leads in KZ2 and Gubenko in the Academy.
