KR Motorsport and the teams representing Kart Republic have no shortage of future champions in their ranks! The sensational results from the series organised by RGMMC have clearly demonstrated this. At the fifth and final round in Sarno, Daniel Miron Lorente (Fusion Motorsport) and Will Green (KR Motorsport) secured a one-two finish for the KR-IAME karts in the OK-Junior class. This result also sealed the Championship title! In OK, Noah Baglin (KR Motorsport) claimed his fourth consecutive victory, securing yet another title in 2026 following his FIA Karting European Championship crown.
OK: Blanco impresses, Baglin seals the deal
Bruno Blanco and Noah Baglin dominated the Naples round: the Briton secured pole position, whilst the Italian emerged as the leader from the Qualifying Heats with three wins out of three. Both drivers then won their Super Heats, proving themselves the fastest on the track. Blanco led early on in the Final and set the fastest lap of the race, before Baglin pulled ahead. This latest victory sees the Briton finish top of the standings by a comfortable margin. China's Huifei Xie (KR Motorsport) confirmed his rise to form by finishing 8th in the Final. In the overall standings, there are three KR chassis in the top five: Noah Baglin in P1, Zak Drummond (Fusion Motorsport) in P3 and James Anagnostiadis (KR Motorsport) in P5, although the latter was absent from Sarno and was unable to improve his position.
OK-Junior: A one-two in the Final, six drivers in the top ten and a one-two-three in the Championship
Daniel Miron Lorente (Fusion Motorsport) won all his races at Sarno: his three heats, Super Heat A and the Final. No sooner had he stepped down from the top step of the podium than he returned to receive the championship trophy ahead of Will Green (KR Motorsport) and Priam Bruno (VictoryLane). That made it a one-two-three finish in the overall standings! Winner of his Super Heat, Green lost valuable places at the start of the Final but fought his way back at high speed to finish in 2nd place, thus completing the KR-IAME one-two. With Téo Pelfrene (VictoryLane) in 5th, Alessandro Truchot (KR Motorsport) in 7th, Alexandre Point (Fusion Motorsport) in 8th and Priam Bruno (VictoryLane) in 9th, the Italian brand Kart Republic had six chassis in the top ten. Niccolo Perico was in the thick of the action right up to the Final, which saw him start from pole position. Unfortunately, a collision dashed his hopes of a podium finish.
Comment from Dino Chiesa, head of KR Global Motorsport Company
“These two new titles are very satisfying for KR, IAME, the drivers and the teams, who have mastered the use of the equipment perfectly, as the Champions of the Future Euro Series consists of five rounds. This clearly demonstrates consistency in performance, which is very important to me. I had already made the same observation at the FIA European Karting Championship, where we were crowned champions in both the OK and OK-Junior categories at the end of a four-round championship.”
“At Sarno, the KR-IAME karts won the majority of the Qualifying Heats, all the Super Heats and both Finals, securing a one-two finish in OK-Junior. The overall result in the championship is also brilliant, with both titles and a strong showing in the top 10 in both categories. From a sporting perspective, I was surprised to see a driver cut across the track on the final lap of the OK-Junior Final following a collision and finish 6th, even though he had been 10th just one lap earlier. Was the penalty he received appropriate? We will now focus on the two World Championships at Le Mans and La Conca. As for the OK and OK-Junior championships, the often changeable weather in southern Italy in November could add an element of unpredictability to an event that is already bound to be uncertain, given that it is decided over a single Final.”
