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.

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).      

KR-IAME teams dominated the FIA Karting World Championship in Kristianstad. In OK, Thibaut Ramaekers had a perfect Final to beat Joe Turney. In OK-Junior, Noah Baglin led from start to finish and was joined on the podium by two other drivers equipped with KR chassis. The technical and sporting decisions taken by the Kart Republic factory clearly contributed to this exceptional overall result, while ensuring that satellite teams had highly competitive equipment.

From 5th to 8th June, FIA Karting visited the Viterbo circuit, which had never before been used for the Championships. The sun, the heat and the grip were there, as was the performance of the KR-IAME packages, so the results followed. In the OK-Junior class, the VictoryLane team celebrated the victory of Frenchman Samuel Hugon, who was joined on the podium by Dean Hoogendoorn.

A warm, sunny day celebrated the success of the Viterbo event. For its baptism of fire, the Leopard circuit proved a great success, with lively and indecisive races. In the Mondokart.com FIA European Karting Championship, Spaniard Christian Costoya extended his lead over his rivals in OK after a second consecutive victory. In OK-Junior, young Frenchman Samuel Hugon (11 years old) created a surprise by beating all the favourites, including the new Championship leader, Dutchman Dean Hoogendoorn. The French anthem was played twice on the Italian podium, with Jules Avril winning the FIA Karting Academy Trophy - Senior.
