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.

Parolin Motorsport began the 2025 WSK Final Cup with a weekend of strong performances and outright speed at Franciacorta. The team featured prominently across the Mini U10, OK-Junior and OK categories, while Parolin chassis also reached the podium with Modena Kart and shone in the hands of other partner teams.

The first round of the 2025 WSK Final Cup in Franciacorta confirmed Birel ART's strength across all categories. Cristian Bertuca won in KZ2, while the young Junior and Mini drivers also put in strong performances. On a dry and fast track, the Italian brand once again combined pure speed, consistency and technical reliability.

The finals of the first of the three events of the WSK Final Cup were won by Godschalk (MINI U10), Gorun (MINI Gr.3), Marchesi (OK-N), Palacio (OK-NJ), Baglin (OKJ), Pesl (OK) and Bertuca (KZ2).      

The German Kart Championship (DKM) will include five race weekends in the upcoming year, combining traditional tracks in Germany with a special highlight abroad. For the first time ever, Germany’s premier kart racing series will make a stop in Cheb, Czech Republic. The season opener will take place from May 1 to 3 in Saxony: the new season kicks off at Arena E in Mülsen – as tradition dictates, the DKM will conclude at ProKart Raceland in Wackersdorf. The decisive races of the 2026 season will be held there from September 25 to 27. A new class structure will also be introduced: alongside the Mini and Shifter Kart (KZ2) categories, the OK-N Junior and OK-N classes will be added for the first time.
