In Italy, the end of January marked the start of the new season for KR Motorsport and WSK Promotion, with the opening of the Super Master Series at the World Circuit La Conca. With a total of six podium finishes, the KR chassis proved that it remains a major force on the international scene. Several teams that chose the Italian equipment produced in Veneto were also delighted with the high performance of the new IAME engines.

After racking up victories at the opening round of the WSK Final Cup in Franciacorta, Kart Republic continued its winning streak over the next two weeks. First at the major international IAME brand cup event, the IWF in Valencia, with two triple wins in the main categories: X30 Senior and X30 Junior. Then, in Cremona for the second of three rounds of the WSK Final Cup, Zak Drummond won in OK and Wynn Godschalk in Mini U10. As ever, the high-performing KR chassis remain in contention for titles in six of the seven categories.

The FIA Karting European Championships for OK and OK-Junior came to an end in Denmark, confirming the competitiveness of the KR-IAME teams throughout the four events, which resulted in many podium finishes in Campillos, Portimao, Viterbo and Rodby (12 in total throughout the Championship), as well as in the overall standings... Title for Dean Hoogendoorn and podium for Noah Baglin in OK-Junior, double podium in OK with James Anagnostiadis and Zac Drummond.

With 96 drivers entered in OK and 91 in OK-Junior in the first of five rounds of the Champions of the Future Euro Series, top 10 places in the Final were extremely hard to come by. The teams using KR chassis and IAME engines clearly worked in the right direction, as the rankings showed seven OK and six OK-Junior drivers in the top 10 of the Finals. In 2025, the aim will be to retain the OK title in this RGMMC series and to win back the OK-Junior crown. In addition, valuable information has been gathered a week before the start of the FIA Karting European Championships.

As in 2023, the FIA Karting prize-giving ceremony took place in Nice, France, on Saturday 7th December at the Hyatt Regency Palais de la Méditerranée. The karts of the three World Champions were displayed to the guests.
