The Italian F4 Championship closed the day at Mugello with a dramatic twist. Race 2 featured the drivers from Groups A and B, with Germany's Elia Weiss (Jenzer Motorsport) starting from pole position. Weiss looked determined to bring Jenzer Motorsport back to victory after the last one came in 2020. However, after controlling the race from the front, the R-ace GP Mercedes Junior Team driver Andy Consani came under increasing pressure, sparking an intense battle. Contact between the two resulted in a puncture for Weiss, forcing the Jenzer driver into the pits. Consani suffered front wing damage but was able to continue, only to later receive a 25-second penalty from Race Control.

The 2026 season of the Italian F4 Championship, the single-seater series promoted by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion, gets underway with record-breaking numbers. After the previous record set at Monza in 2022 with 44 cars on the grid, the championship has already surpassed that mark: 47 single-seaters ready to take to the track on Thursday for the collective tests ahead of the opening round of the season at the Misano circuit on the Adriatic Riviera.

The 2025 WSK Final Cup ended with a significant haul of trophies for KR chassis. At the conclusion of the series taking place in Franciacorta, Cremona and Lonato, the podium ceremony saw a total of 13 podiums at South Garda Karting: five obtained in the Finals and eight in the overall classification, including four Champion titles and two Vice-Champion titles. The Kart Republic factory congratulates the drivers, teams and engine builders for these brilliant successes.

The first of the three WSK Final Cup events ended on an extremely positive note for Kart Republic factory equipment and the teams that use it: 12 podiums including four victories, two triple wins and 30% KR chassis in a strong field of 357 entrants.

KR-IAME teams dominated the FIA Karting World Championship in Kristianstad. In OK, Thibaut Ramaekers had a perfect Final to beat Joe Turney. In OK-Junior, Noah Baglin led from start to finish and was joined on the podium by two other drivers equipped with KR chassis. The technical and sporting decisions taken by the Kart Republic factory clearly contributed to this exceptional overall result, while ensuring that satellite teams had highly competitive equipment.
