The new karting season has just begun, and Energy Corse has already celebrated its first victory. At La Conca in southern Italy, during the first round of the WSK Super Master Series, Lev Krutogolov took the lead in the overall standings after his successes in OK in both the Prefinal and the Final. Meanwhile, Matthew Higgins climbed to 2nd place on the podium in Rotax Senior during the renowned O-Plate series in Dubai!

WSK Super Master Series Round 1 at La Conca marked the opening race of the new season and delivered an immediate statement of intent from Parolin, with victories for Antonio Pizzonia, Nahyl El Gahoudi and Zayne Burgess winning across multiple categories, alongside strong performances from both factory and partner teams. A key story of the weekend was the debut of Ward Racing on Parolin equipment, with the front-running squad switching chassis over the winter and securing victory with Pizzionia at the very first event.

After a successful season in 2025, Modena Kart Racing Team returned to competition with the same motivation, an ever-strong desire to win and a very high level of competitiveness. During the first of five rounds of the WSK Super Master Series at La Conca, the Italian team's Parolin-TM Kart equipment was present in large numbers in the OK-N Junior Final, as well as at the forefront of the action. The best result went to Sweden's Elton Hedfors, who finished an excellent 4th, just two tenths of a second off the podium!

After a historic 2025 season, marked by Senna Van Walstijn's double world title in KZ, Maksim Orlov's KZ2 World Cup title, the European Championship titles and the FIA Karting team crowns, the Sodi Racing Team approached the 2026 season with the ambition of maintaining this level of excellence. On the selective La Conca track in Italy, for the kick-off of the WSK Super Master Series, the French manufacturer and its partner CPB Sport returned to competition. This first international event immediately confirmed the competitiveness of Sodi equipment, both in terms of confirming its achievements in KZ2 and in the promising development of the Mini categories.

The first round of the WSK Super Master Series, a prestigious event that attracted a massive field of over 300 drivers from all over the World, is now officially underway.
