For their very first competition in the FIA Karting categories on the French circuit of Val d'Argenton, the KR chassis demonstrated their effectiveness and quality of adaptation. The second round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series was not without its challenges, but the hard work put in by the teams using the KR-IAME package put the drivers on the right track.

The 2024 WSK Super Master Series continued at the Cremona International Circuit from 7th to 11th February. Competitors had to contend with wet conditions from the Qualifying sessions on Friday through to Sunday.

The KR chassis are already enjoying a string of successes at the start of the season. Oleksandr Bondarev (Prema Racing) in OK and Niklas Schaufler (DPK Racing) in OK-Junior won the WSK Champions Cup on 21st January and repeated the feat a week later, again on the Lonato circuit. However, the competition was even tougher at the opening round of the WSK Super Master Series 2024! But the most important thing to note was that many other drivers in the colours of KR Global Motorsport Company put in solid performances.

Both in the dry conditions of Franciacorta at the beginning of September, as well as with the rain tyres used at Sarno two months later, the KR chassis constantly proved its worth. Its effectiveness enabled its drivers to shine in all categories. In total, the KR-IAME packages won five of the six Finals at Sarno. The score was just as impressive in the overall WSK Euro Series standings, with five Championships! Whether in the colours of Kart Republic, Alonso Kart, or DAP, the Italian chassis continue to collect trophies...

At Franciacorta from 13th to 16th September, several drivers equipped with KR chassis were not only preparing for the forthcoming FIA Karting World Championship. Their aim was also to fight for the championship titles in the Champions of the Future Euro Series. In OK, Joe Turney concluded with a magnificent victory, while Alex Powell took the crown. KR Global Motorsport Company even claimed an unprecedented quadruple in the overall standings with Kean Nakamura Berta taking 2nd place, giving Prema Racing the double ahead of Joe Turney and Enzo Tarnvanichkul. In the OK-Junior class, Thibaut Ramaekers battled steadily in the leading group to finish 3rd in the Euro Series, while Augustus Toniolo took 3rd place on the podium.

Crowned European KZ Champion in July with Danilo Albanese, the KR Motorsport team has now won the supreme title of FIA Karting World Champion - KZ with Paolo Ippolito. KR chassis and IAME engines confirmed their very high potential in the gearbox categories. At Wackersdorf, Stan Pex (SP Motorsport) completed the podium in the premier class and Alex Powell finished 2nd in the KZ2 World Cup, while Kean Nakamura-Berta set the fastest lap of the race. KR Motorsport won the FIA Karting team title in KZ and Prema Racing was runner-up in KZ2 in its first year.

When many drivers arrived at the Franciacorta Karting Track to take part in the opening round of the 2023 WSK Euro Series, they were already looking ahead to the World Championship in the OK and OK-Junior categories, which will be contested on the same Italian circuit in October. 

True to its policy of enabling as many drivers and teams as possible to compete, whatever the category, the level of the event or the country, the KR Global Motorsport Company drew an extremely positive balance from the fourth round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series held in Cremona, Italy. In addition to the four podium finishes achieved by drivers using KR chassis, including a victory for Thai driver Enzo Tarnvanichkul in OK, many other competitors performed extremely well in very hot conditions that proved very trying for everyone.

The Champions of the Future Euro Series has christened the brand new Rodby circuit in Denmark. Used by 43 drivers competing in OK and OK-Junior, the KR chassis immediately felt at home. Victories in the Qualifying Heats followed in quick succession on this unique track, which the drivers had to tame to aim for the best possible result. The event ended with a magnificent all-round performance in OK with 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th places, while Antonov, Martinese and Saleh had just put their best foot forward in the previous OK-Junior Final. Alex Powell and his KR-IAME are the new series leaders in OK, while Antonov remains well placed in OK-Junior.

The FIA Karting European Championship, which was eagerly awaited after the start of the season during which everyone was able to actively prepare for this major event, highlighted the competitiveness of the equipment developed by KR Global Motorsport Company. On the demanding Valencia track, Joe Turney made the difference in the OK Final with panache, while the KR chassis took the OK-Junior double with an impressive Thibaut Ramaekers followed by Oleksandr Bondarev. In Spain the KR chassis was also the best represented in both OK and OK-Junior.

After numerous events in Italy, the season accelerated a little more with the launch of the 2023 Champions of the Future Euro Series, which started in Spain in Valencia. In both OK and OK-Junior, KR chassis dominated the Finals with two wins and even two double wins! Meanwhile, at the WSK Euro Series in Lonato, the first official outing of the KR Motorsport team in KZ2 resulted in a double podium. Successes in the Mini and Mini U10 classes were added to the impressive list of achievements during the second weekend of March.

From 3rd to 5th March, as was the case a month earlier, WSK Promotion organised a Super Master Series event in Italy, while RGMMC once again hosted the IAME Challenge categories in Spain. In both cases, KR chassis helped several drivers to the podium, especially in Mini, with a sensational triple in Zuera and a success in Sarno with a 3rd place!

With O'Neill competing for the ADAC Kart Masters title in the X30 Senior category in Wackersdorf and Esteban making his GT3 debut in the highly prestigious Blancpain GT Series in Barcelona, the Muth family was torn apart last week. But the German crown for the youngest and a more than convincing performance for the oldest turned this last weekend of September into an indelible memory for them all!
