199 drivers of 48 nationalities had to face wet and changing weather conditions on Friday 16th September at the Sarno circuit (ITA). At the foot of Mount Vesuvius, it rained at the beginning of the day, but the track dried out during Qualifying, to the point where the drivers of the last session started on slick tyres. In this context, there was no shortage of surprises, such as the pole positions achieved by German Maxime Rehm in OK and Swiss driver Kian Fardin in OK-Junior.

The final round of the Karting FIA European Championship reached an unusual intensity in OK-Junior but the Sodi Racing Team was perfectly prepared for this final event. The competitiveness shown by driver Nathan Tye allowed the Briton to take the lead in the Final and to be in a position to be crowned for a few laps. Although the numerous race hazards did not turn out in his favour in Franciacorta, Tye scored enough points over the whole competition to take 3rd place in a 2022 European Championship that was more competitive than ever!
