The 2025 FIA Karting World Championship for the OK and OK-Junior categories took place from 11th to 14th September at the historic Åsum Ring in Kristianstad, Sweden. As always at this level, the sporting intensity was at its peak, with a world title awarded on a single event, in an atmosphere combining suspense and twists and turns. The unpredictable weather on the south-east coast of Sweden did nothing to make things easier for the 217 drivers taking part (109 in OK-Junior, 108 in OK), adding an element of uncertainty to the competition.

Alex Irlando fights for podium positions and posts the fastest lap time, but in the second part of the race, he is forced to slow down and finishes in P4. 

On occasion of the first round of the WSK Euro Series, Alex Irlando makes a huge step forward with his BirelART-TM. Constantly on top from Friday, Alex Irlando couldn’t take home the big prize in Sarno because of a not perfect set-up with new tyres on Sunday afternoon.
