Summer break is officially over, and the Champions of the Future Euro Series is back on track for Round 5 at Sarno. OK and OK Junior return to action in Italy with everything still to play for as we head into the closing stages of the 2026 season.

From the medieval city walls of Otranto, Italy, to Valencian orange groves, to Germany's automotive home of Zwickau, and then to one of Sweden's oldest cities, Kristianstad, the Champions of the Future series has ticked off many corners of Europe in 2026. Now, it is set to complete one more.

Parolin Motorsport completed the FIA Karting European Championship season at Kristianstad with a commanding OK victory for William Calleja and a podium for Dean Hoogendoorn. Calleja won every race he contested before dominating the Final, while Hoogendoorn finished 3rd to secure the same position in the Championship. Gioele Girardello ended the OK-Junior campaign 4th in the standings after showing front-running pace, and Troy Ferguson produced an exceptional 21-place recovery in the Final.

Parolin Motorsport completed the fourth round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series at Kristianstad with front-running speed in both OK and OK-Junior, as William Calleja finished 4th in OK and Gioele Girardello led the factory team in OK-Junior with 9th. Dean Hoogendoorn produced one of the strongest recovery drives of the weekend in OK before penalties dropped him to 14th, while Troy Ferguson also moved forward in the OK-Junior Final.

The Asum Ring, a 1,221m circuit and one renowned as one of the greatest in European karting, will invite drivers across the OK Junior and OK categories to duel around 16 corners and an elevation change of 6 metres this week. Across three days of competition, points will start to become the talk of the town as the series heads deeper into its later stages, with the penultimate event on the calendar now arriving.
