DKM enters crucial phase in Genk, First decisions possible in Belgium

Frankfurt am Main. In a few days, the second foreign round of the season of the German Kart Championship is going to take place. The highest German kart racing series is going to take place on the international race track in Belgian Genk for the eighth time and first decisions regarding the fights for the titles are already possible.

The 2019 season is progressing rapidly. After the kick-off in mid-April in Lonato, events in Wackersdorf and Kerpen followed. Now, the fourth event of the season is going to take place in Genk. After the debut in 2011, the DKM and its five grade series are going to travel to the 1.360m long track in the border region to the Netherlands and Germany for the eighth time. The fields are going to be brilliantly manned once again. In the five classes DKM, DJKM, DSKM, DSKC and DEKM, 163 drivers from all over the world are going to start.

First title decisions possible

While there were a few surprises at the half-time race, the first decision in a fight for the title could already be made in Genk. In the German Junior Championship (DJKM), Dutchman Robert de Haan (Energy Corse) showed a dominant performance so far. He achieved five of six possible race victories. Therefore he already has an advance of 83 points on his direct pursuer Jakob Bergmeister (Millennium Racing Team) from Germany. With further victories in Genk, De Haan would gain the title early.

Further Championship fights really close

In the other classes, things are as exciting as ever. Especially in the German Kart Championship (DKM), the drivers are really close together. Leading driver Hugo Sasse (TB Racing Team) and Harry Thompson (Ricky Flynn Motorsport) on fourth place are currently only 28 points apart. The new European Kart Champion Lorenzo Travisanutto (CV Performance Group) will also start in Genk again, after he couldn’t start in Kerpen due to an illness. Also among the four title favorites is Kas Haverkort (CRG Keijzer Racing) from the Netherlands, who is currently on second place.

There is going to be a duel in the German Shifterkart Championship (DSKM). Stan Pex (SP Motorsport) is currently in the lead in front of reigning champion Fabian Federer (SRP Racing Team). The field of the DMSB Shifterkart Cup (DSKC) is quite balanced. With Tim Tröger (Mach1 Motorsport), Senna Van Walstijn (SP Motorsport) and Davids Trefilovs (SRP Racing Team) there have been three different winners in three races so far. The number of favorites is therefore quite high. In Genk, Van Walstijn is going to start as the leading driver in front of German Valentino Fritsch (BirelART Racing KSW).

Luka Wlömer unstoppable in the DEKM?

It’s going to be the half-time event of the German Electric Kart Championship (DEKM) in Genk. The first two weekends were dominated by Berlin resident Luka Wlömer. He won three of the four races. But the international field with drivers from seven nations presented itself as quite balanced so far, with narrow decisions. Therefore he can’t rest on his laurels.

Lots of information regarding the racing weekend can be viewed on www.kart-dm.de.
