The first Champions of the Future Euro Series visit to Arena E Mülsen reached its conclusion on Saturday, as a demanding new circuit, ultra-competitive fields and a series of dramatic twists combined to produce two unforgettable Finals. After Qualifying, Qualifying Heats and Superheats had set the stage, Round 3 victories were ultimately decided by late overtakes, penalties and standout recovery drives in both OK Junior and OK.

The pressure was on today as drivers sought to bank an early advantage during Round 2 of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship. A gloomy weather forecast for Saturday raised the stakes with drivers knowing every lap today could be crucial in setting Sunday’s final grid.

Friday at La Conca saw the completion of an intense qualifying heats programme for the opening round of the Champions of the Future season, with drivers tackling a packed schedule of races across the day. Conditions shifted multiple times throughout the morning, with intermittent rain and a constantly changing track surface forcing teams into difficult decisions.

At La Conca, when it rains, it truly pours. The 183 drivers competing in this weekend’s opening round of the Champions of the Future season experienced exactly that today, as heavy rain created extremely challenging conditions throughout.
