Karting has always been the proving ground of motorsport. It is where raw talent first reveals itself. But talent is only meaningful if it is exposed properly.

The third season of the Champions of the Future Academy International Series gets underway this week in Spain, with the opening round hosted at the technical and demanding Kartodromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero.

A strong mix of returning contenders and several new names immediately raised the level of competition. After sunny preparation days, race day brought changing conditions, with clouds rolling in and a short drizzle during the Mini 60 Final. The light rain slightly slowed lap times but did little to disrupt the intensity on track.
