Everything will be decided at the final competition in Italy in September.

The FIA Karting European Championship ended on a high note for Sodikart at the Mülsen circuit.

Winner of the three Finals in Spain, Italy and Germany, Orlov is logically the new KZ2 European Champion.

The third and final round of the FIA European Championship 2025 for the KZ and KZ2 categories took place at the Mülsen circuit in Germany.

Sodikart and CPB Sport perfectly managed the various parameters that challenged the drivers and teams at Sarno during the FIA Karting European Championship for gearbox categories. In particular, they had to adapt to the intense heat of the Naples region and the difficulties of using different tyres to those supplied at the previous event in Valencia. In this context, Maksim Orlov won the KZ2 Final by a wide margin and now has a comfortable lead in the Championship. In KZ, Mattéo Spirgel and Jean Nomblot put two Sodi-TMs on the podium, with performances of a very high standard.

Three drivers were smiling broadly from the podium in Sarno at the end of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship. Pedro Hiltbrand, who had already won the opening race in Spain, is in an excellent position in the overall KZ standings ahead of the final competition in Germany in July. In KZ2, Maksim Orlov is in exactly the same situation, after his comprehensive domination in the Final at the foot of Vesuvius. In KZ2 Masters, the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship was held over a single competition. Antonio Piccioni emerged victorious after a last lap with many twists and turns.

The second official day of competition, which saw the end of the Qualifying Heats and the first Super Heats, took place in stifling heat on the Naples International Circuit.

The Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship for gearbox categories got underway in the heat of the Naples International Circuit, with temperatures well in excess of 30 degrees.

Manuel Cozzaglio, European Champion in 2003 and now competing in the Masters, showed that he had lost none of his talent when he was fastest in his category.

Drivers in the colours of the Modena Kart team have become regulars on the podiums of the biggest events since the start of 2025, in the WSK Promotion series as well as the ACI Karting Italian Championship.

In Valencia, the sensational results obtained at the Champions of the Future Shifter event were confirmed more than ever for Sodikart during the first round of the 2025 FIA Karting European Championship: Three drivers in the top five, two on the podium and victory for Max Orlov in KZ2. CPB Sport and the Sodi / TM machines have already taken the lead in the Team Championship. The drivers entered in KZ also battled at the front throughout the Spanish competition.
 

The weather remained sunny in the Valencia region, with temperatures rising for the day's Qualifying Heats. Drivers and machines were put through their paces in Saturday's 13 races, which produced a large number of passes and twists and turns. In the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship, Spaniard Pedro Hiltbrand in KZ and Maksim Orlov in KZ2 retained the leads they had gained in Qualifying. They will need to consolidate their positions in the Super Heats on Sunday morning, followed by the Finals, if they are to continue their winning run. In the Academy Trophy - Junior, Ecuador's Julian Rivera Salas took over from Mexico's Luis Fer Nunez at the top of the intermediate standings.

After extremely competitive Qualifying sessions, pole positions were awarded to Spaniard Pedro Hiltbrand in KZ, Maksim Orlov in KZ2 and Mexican Luis Fer Nunez in the Junior Academy.

At Franciacorta, on the Italian circuit that will host the FIA Karting World Championship in October, the fourth and penultimate round of the WSK Super Master Series featured an incredible field of 90 drivers in a single category, bringing together the best KZ and KZ2 specialists, as well as all the major international teams.

Pole position in the dry, victory in the rain... the Sodi chassis proved competitive in all conditions on the demanding Lonato track. Winner of the Final, Senna Van Walstijn took the lead of the WSK Super Master Series in the KZ2 category.
