After Friday’s qualifying heats raised the stakes, Saturday delivered the deciding chapter of the 2026 Champions of the Future Euro Series at Circuito Internazionale Napoli. Under sunny skies and in warm, dry conditions, the Super Heats offered one final opportunity to shape the grids before a season of racing came down to the Finals. Daniel Miron Lorente and Noah Baglin rose to the occasion, closing their campaigns with race victories and championship honours as Sarno brought the season to its conclusion.

After Thursday’s qualifying established the first order at Sarno, Friday put that pace to the test in wheel-to-wheel racing. Twelve qualifying heats in warm, dry conditions at Circuito Internazionale Napoli brought decisive victories, costly setbacks and spectacular finishes, with little room for error at the final round of the 2026 Champions of the Future Euro Series. Some strengthened their position, others were left chasing a recovery, and the stakes climbed with every race as the season’s deciding day drew closer.

Summer break is officially over, and the Champions of the Future Euro Series is back on track for Round 5 at Sarno. OK and OK Junior return to action in Italy with everything still to play for as we head into the closing stages of the 2026 season.

From the medieval city walls of Otranto, Italy, to Valencian orange groves, to Germany's automotive home of Zwickau, and then to one of Sweden's oldest cities, Kristianstad, the Champions of the Future series has ticked off many corners of Europe in 2026. Now, it is set to complete one more.

After three days of Free Practice, Timed Qualifying and no fewer than 18 Qualifying Heats, everything at Genk built towards the final day. Six Super Heats set the grids before three Finals brought the event, the 2026 season and the IAME Euro Series’ tenth-anniversary year to a spectacular conclusion.

The final round of the 2026 IAME Euro Series began at the Home of Champions, with Time Qualifying setting the first competitive order before Friday’s Qualifying Heats brought changing conditions, a sudden downpour and intense racing across all three categories.

The KR-IAME teams travelled to Sweden to contest the two FIA Karting European Championship titles in the OK and OK-Junior classes. Mission accomplished with a one-two finish in OK thanks to Noah Baglin and Zac Drummond, as well as a clean sweep of the top three places in OK-Junior with Will Green, Daniel Miron Lorente and Many Nuvolini. Well done to the KR Motorsport and Fusion Motorsport teams for these outstanding performances on the European stage.

Performing increasingly well throughout the fourth round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series, the KR-IAME teams ultimately made a clear mark in both categories during the Kristianstad finals. Noah Baglin and Zac Drummond secured a one-two finish in OK, whilst Daniel Miron Lorente crossed the finish line first in the OK-Junior final, before being joined on the podium by Priam Bruno. Ahead of the series’ final round in Sarno in September, Kart Republic factory karts occupy the top three places in the overall series standings, in both OK and OK-Junior.

After Friday’s Qualifying Heats established the leading contenders, Round 4 of the Champions of the Future Euro Series reached its decisive stage at the 1,221-metre Asum Ring in Kristianstad.

The Asum Ring, a 1,221m circuit and one renowned as one of the greatest in European karting, will invite drivers across the OK Junior and OK categories to duel around 16 corners and an elevation change of 6 metres this week. Across three days of competition, points will start to become the talk of the town as the series heads deeper into its later stages, with the penultimate event on the calendar now arriving.

The pressure was on today as drivers sought to bank an early advantage during Round 2 of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship. A gloomy weather forecast for Saturday raised the stakes with drivers knowing every lap today could be crucial in setting Sunday’s final grid.
