The tension was already high at Franciacorta on Friday morning during Qualifying Practice for the Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior. There had already been a number of surprises, with new names coming to the fore and some top drivers performing relatively poorly. Apparently, it wasn't easy to get the right setup during Qualifying. While the pole position for Spaniard Christian Costoya (ESP) in OK-Junior was in line with expectations, that of Estonian Mark Dubnitski in OK was more surprising.

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.

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 international events continue week after week, and the trophies pile up on the shelves of the drivers and teams using KR Global Motorsport Company equipment.

In Spain the KR chassis was also the best represented in both OK and OK-Junior.

The victory of the Finals at the South Garda Karting went to Giuseppe Palomba (KZ2), Kean Nakamura-Berta (OK), Jan Przyrowski (OKJ) and Vladimir Ivannikov (MINI).

From 29^th September to 3^rd October, the Adria racetrack will host the 2^nd and final Round of the WSK Open Cup, an event that will be attended by the usual classes competing in the WSK Series: the Mini, the OKJ, the OK and the KZ category.

The WSK Open Cup weekend in Lonato has been characterized by an important and productive amount of work for the CRG Racing Team. But it is also about lower results, compared to the expectations and the potential shown in many phases of the race weekend. The final day of the event was affected by the rain which, as we know, always generates a sort of lottery on the track, between driver mistakes and set up moves to be done in a short time, assuming the evolution of the track.

The Lonato track will host the 1^st Round of the WSK Open Series from 15^th to 19^th September. This event consisting in two appointments, will see its final test on 3^rd October at the Adria circuit. For the CRG Factory Team it will be an opportunity to get back behind the wheel with the direct drive Mini and OK classes, after the long summer break, in which the action on the track was reserved for the KZ categories (to rest during this event as decided by CRG).

Despite the ongoing Covid emergency, the WSK Master Series took place regularly and for the CRG team, it was an excellent test bench, to measure the work done during the winter from a technical point of view and to allow new drivers to get the right feeling with the chassis and the team staff.

This weekend the paddock of Lonato will be made up of more than 300 drivers and all the most important International Karting Racing Teams, that will take part to the final round of the WSK Master Series.
