Emiliano Hernandez has just had 10 very important days in his career as a young Mexican motorsport hopeful. Competing in only his first season in Junior in FIA Karting, the 13-year-old driver proved himself capable of competing with the world's best. Competing for Spanish team DPK Racing, equipped with a Fernando Alonso Kart chassis and now supported by Aston Martin F1, he delivered two top-level performances in the space of a week: both in the Champions of the Future Euro Series and then in the World Championship at the Kristianstad circuit in Sweden, with front row starts, victories in Qualifying Heats and fastest laps. Emiliano Hernandez is definitely a driver to watch closely and support in the future...

In Sweden, everything is in place for a great sporting event with the 2025 Mondokart.com World Championship – OK & Junior. The rain on Thursday morning at the start of private practice quickly gave way to much more pleasant weather, and the Qualifying sessions took place in excellent conditions at the Kristianstad circuit. An initial ranking has emerged, with most of the favourites in contention. Recently crowned European Champion, Dutchman Dean Hoogendoorn set the fastest time in OK-Junior. In OK, Ireland's Daniel Kelleher was the fastest. A total of 30 Qualifying Heats are on the schedule before Sunday's Final stages.

In Sweden, the fifth and final round of the 2025 Champions of the Future Euro Series was a triumph for KR chassis and the teams defending the colours of the Kart Republic Global Motorsport Company group. In OK, the entire top eight in the Final was made up of KR-IAME karts. Daniel Kelleher crossed the finish line as the winner ahead of Kenzo Craigie, who won the series ahead of five other KR chassis! In OK-Junior, Noah Baglin dominated the Final, and Devin Walz secured a one-two finish for the Italian brand. Baglin also lifted the championship trophy on the top of the podium.

In Sweden, the Champions of the Future Euro Series ended on a high note with an exciting fifth and final round. The 204 best young international hopefuls and the biggest teams competed for three days in a highly competitive environment. The series, organised by RGMMC, once again demonstrated its quality and appeal. On the Asum Ring, which remained dry for almost the entire competition, Britain's Noah Baglin scored a double victory in OK-Junior, winning the Final and taking the series title. In OK, Ireland's Daniel Kelleher made the difference at the end of the race. Britain's Kenzo Craigie secured 2nd place, which means he will be crowned Champions of the Future Euro Series champion in 2025.

The following drivers came to the fore in qualifying practice: Osadchyi-Suslovskyi (OK-NJ), Rea (MINI Gr.3), Godschalk (MINI U10), Hoogendoorn (OKJ), Drummond (OK) and Orlov (KZ2). The first qualifying heats will follow shortly.
