When many drivers arrived at the Franciacorta Karting Track to take part in the opening round of the 2023 WSK Euro Series, they were already looking ahead to the World Championship in the OK and OK-Junior categories, which will be contested on the same Italian circuit in October. 

The FIA Karting European OK and OK-Junior Championships ended on a high note for the KR Global Motorsport Company group at Cremona: a hat-trick of OK-Junior titles in the Final and overall standings with Bondarev, Ramaekers and Martinese, as well as a double podium in OK with Tarnvanichkul and Nakamura-Berta, while Powell finished 3rd in the Championship! KR Motorsport has already secured the title of FIA Karting Team Champion in OK-Junior even before the World Championship.

True to its policy of enabling as many drivers and teams as possible to compete, whatever the category, the level of the event or the country, the KR Global Motorsport Company drew an extremely positive balance from the fourth round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series held in Cremona, Italy. In addition to the four podium finishes achieved by drivers using KR chassis, including a victory for Thai driver Enzo Tarnvanichkul in OK, many other competitors performed extremely well in very hot conditions that proved very trying for everyone.

The fourth of the five Champions of the Future Euro Series events, held at the Cremona circuit in Italy, lived up to all its promises. The final stages were full of twists and turns and the winners of the previous meetings were not necessarily able to confirm their success. Dries Van Langendonck in the OK-Junior class and Enzo Tarnvanichkul in the OK class took their first ever podium places. The competition has been completely revitalised and several drivers will be in a position to win this prestigious series at the end of September in Franciacorta.

Thirty Qualifying heats were run in Valencia, 15 in each category, to establish the intermediate classification of the first round of the 2023 FIA Karting European Championships - OK and Junior. OK poleman Gabriel Gomez (BRA) managed a clean sweep and remains the unbeaten leader of the category. Elliot Kaczynski (SWE) took the lead in the Junior class against Taym Saleh (DEU).
