OTK Kart Group and the karting manufacturer’s Tony Kart Racing Team has formalised its long-standing relationship with Hitech, the British single-seater racing team by collaborating on the creation of an official ‘Karts to Cars Programme’. The long-term partnership is aimed at identifying, providing opportunities for, and developing Tony Kart Racing Team drivers as they look to progress to single-seater racing.

Under sunny skies, temperatures rose from 17 to 20 degrees during the Qualifying sessions, while pressure was also high among drivers and teams. With around 250 drivers spread across three categories, it was essential to secure a good position before the start of the Qualifying Heats. Three drivers have already achieved their first goal in Italy, that of securing pole position: Germany's David Trefilov in the Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship - KZ, Maksim Orlov in the FIA Karting World Cup - KZ2 and Italy's Davide Fore in the FIA Karting International Super Cup - KZ2 Masters.

This FIA Karting World Cup has attracted a large number of participants this year in a sign of the growing strength of FIA Karting events. Applications exceeded expectations so much so that FIA Karting had to close OK-N applications just hours after they opened. A total of 90 OK-N and 83 OK-NJ drivers will compete in Cremona in these two competitions, which promise to be very open.
