On Friday 14 May, 174 drivers from 42 countries took part in the Qualifying Practice for the first of the four 2021 FIA Karting European Championship - OK and Junior - events at the Genk circuit (BEL). The changing weather situation played a role in the overall standings, although the track remained dry apart from a short shower in the second timed OK session. Singapore's Askay Bohra took the Junior pole position and the American Ugo Ugochukwu took the top class.

The first round of the European Karting Championship for the OK and OK Junior direct drive classes will take place this weekend at the Genk circuit, in Belgium. The FIA European Championship is made of 4 appointments: after the Belgian opening race, we will head to Essay in France, then Sarno (Italy) and the last race is scheduled in July on the Spanish track of Zuera.

This weekend the OK and OK-Junior classes will race in Genk, Belgium, where it is scheduled the first round of the Champions of the Future Series. This appointment has an important value for these 2 direct drive categories in relation to the European Championship, as it is exactly here where they will both compete again in the 1^st round of the continental Championship on the 16^th of May.

Despite the ongoing Covid emergency, the WSK Master Series took place regularly and for the CRG team, it was an excellent test bench, to measure the work done during the winter from a technical point of view and to allow new drivers to get the right feeling with the chassis and the team staff.

This weekend the paddock of Lonato will be made up of more than 300 drivers and all the most important International Karting Racing Teams, that will take part to the final round of the WSK Master Series.
