Indeed, both the Rok Cup Superfinal and the IAME International Final each brought together entries of more than 400 drivers! This did not prevent the Energy Corse team from achieving the double in Mini Rok with Alex Powell and Dmitry Matveev in Italy or from taking a magnificent 2nd place in X30 Junior in France with Robert De Haan, also awarded the German Championship in OK-Junior a few days earlier.

After being crowned Vice Champion last year, Freddie Slater (GBR) was out for a win and nothing else in 2019.

The Pro class was a new concept for 2019 and the final alone proved it was a huge success. Featuring a huge number of some of the World’s best all in one grid meant one bad result in the heats didn’t put you completely out of contention. Dean MacDonald (GBR) is someone who can certainly vouch for that, having started his first head facing the wrong way he came back in style to take an impressive win.

It was a last lap which showed the two completely emotions some may go through in this sport. Oliver Bearman (GBR) looked almost down and out at one stage as he fought to try and stay in the top ten, but kept his head down and was rewarded for his efforts with a win on the final lap. As for Oliver Gray (GBR), he did everything right in the race and pretty much had it in the bag before a mechanical problem with his engine saw him slow up on the final lap coming out of the first corner and he was visibly devastated as he was left at the side of track whilst Bearman celebrated his IAME International Final win.

After the Pre Final an exciting front row was formed in the shape of Ben Barnicoat (GBR) and Joey van Splunteren (NED) but they would be far from the only two drivers who would play a part in this race.

Vortex and Aron 2018 European Champions of the OKJ category in France

Paul Aron brought the Vortex engines to the top at the Essay circuit, becoming the 2018 European Champion in the OKJ category.

OKJ - DDJ Engine

The final act of the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship for the OK and OKJ single-speed categories has given great satisfaction for the Vortex engines, on track on the weekend of August 2nd-5th at the French circuit of Essay. In fact, the transalpine track has rewarded the work done by Paul Aron, who thanks to a prodigious management of the final in the OKJ category managed to conquer the 2018 European Champion title. His weekend started with the fifth time in qualifying, from which he was able to put on the board two second positions and a third place that allowed him to jump from the seventh box in the decisive race. Here the Estonian driver of the Ricky Flynn Motorsport team kept his rivals at bay and crossed the checkered flag in a fifth position, enough to get on the top step of the podium and the Championship standings. Moreover, Vortex has also received other important successes, starting from the choice of DDJ engines by 28 drivers out of 67 cheked (42%). In the eliminatory heats the author of the pole position (46''274) Nikita Bedrin (Tony Kart Racing Team) and Kai Askey (Ricky Flynn Motorsport) have distinguished themselves for having gained three victories each, followed by the single victories of Luca Griggs (Lennox Racing Team), Zak O'Sullivan (Ricky Flynn Motorsport) and the two drivers of the Tony Kart Racing Team, Laurens Van Hoepen and Josep Maria Martì. With these results, four drivers brought the Vortex engines to the Top 10 completing the qualifying heats, namely Bedrin, Askey, Aron and O'Sullivan. In the final, however, five drivers arrived in the top ten list equipped with our DDJ: in the order, Zak O'Sullivan, the 2018 Champion Paul Aron, Kirill Smal, Thomas Ten Brinke and Dino Beganovic.

OK - DDS Engine

Excellent performance of the Vortex engines also in the Senior category, where our DDJ represented the choice of 28 drivers out of 64 in the entry list on Friday (44%). Among these the most concrete was the British Harry Thompson (Ricky Flynn Motorsport), author of the second timing in the qualifying (45''369) and of four heats gained which granted him the second place at the end of the final category, sufficient to be sure to gain the 2018 European Vice-Champion Title in the OK category. During the weekend, also Nicklas Nielsen (KSM Schumacher) and Rasmus Joutsimies (Ward Racing) shone, good to put on the bulletin board two wins and a success in the eliminatory heats, respectively. Together with Zane Maloney (Ricky Flynn Motorsport) these three drivers confirmed the competitiveness of the Vortex engines and hit the Top 10 at the end of the qualifying heats. Equipped with our DDS engines, Tijmen Van der Helm (KSM Schumacher) added to the final, for a total of five drivers out of ten keeping well high the name and the performance of our DDS branded Vortex engines.
