Parolin Motorsport and satellite team drivers finished on the podium in all categories at the last round of the Champions of the Future Shifter series at Franciacorta, just a week before the vital World Championship meeting at the same northern Italian circuit. The weather was fine all weekend, but with a definite autumnal chill in the air.

Following their success in the FIA Karting European Championships and WSK, Sodi chassis have just been crowned Champions of the Future Shifter in both the KZ and KZ2 categories. With one week to go before the World Championship, Senna Van Walstijn made a strong impression in KZ against tough competition on the Italian circuit of Franciacorta, winning the overall series classification ahead of his team-mate Jean Nomblot.

Since the beginning of October, the Franciacorta paddock has echoed with the sound of 125cc gearbox engines from the various KZ categories. With 203 participants, the Champions of the Future Shifter kicked off the action on the initiative of promoter RGMMC. From 9th to 12th October, FIA Karting will take over with the World Championship, with no fewer than 253 drivers expected in the Italian region of Brescia. Clearly, as manufacturer LeCont is supplying the KZ, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters in these two prestigious events, world-class drivers and their teams have enjoyed racing with premium tyres offering optimum performance, perfectly suited to their powerful karts!

Elite Motorsport’s Ary Bansal is the 2025 GB4 champion, after a scarcely believable triple header on title decider Sunday at Donington Park. 

Rodin Motorsport’s Alex Ninovic is the 2025 GB3 Champion, after yet another sensational performance at Donington Park. The Australian claimed his eighth win of the year in the first race of the day, overcoming a 10-second jump start penalty to put one hand on the title. Then, needing to finish ahead of his title rivals in the final race of the weekend, his task was made simple as the only other drivers in contention retired from the contest, and he finished seventh.
