After many races in Italy since the start of the season, the teams relying on the KR brand set their sights on Spain and the Lucas Guerrero circuit in Chiva for the second round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series. On this track, which has already brought so much success to the Italian manufacturer Kart Republic in the past, a sensational overall result rewarded the outstanding level of performance of the KR-IAME karts: a one-two in OK with Noah Baglin and Niklas Schaufler, and another in OK-Junior with Will Green and Priam Bruno.

At the start of the season, Kart Republic’s aim in the OK and OK-Junior categories was to achieve maximum competitiveness at the opening round of the FIA Karting European Championship. Clearly, this objective was achieved at the World Circuit in La Conca, with four podium finishes, including two victories!

Parolin Motorsport delivered another highly competitive weekend at La Conca in the FIA Karting European Championship, led by Gioele Girardello’s podium finish in OK-Junior and strong top-10 results in OK from Dean Hoogendoorn and William Calleja.

Parolin’s Christian Costoya has secured the FIA Karting European Championship in the OK category despite extremely difficult weather conditions on Final day on the Danish coastal circuit.

The particularly changeable weather conditions in southern Denmark during the final round of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship - OK & OK-Junior and the FIA Karting Academy Trophy - Senior produced many twists and turns. In OK, Sweden's Viktor Gustafsson caused a surprise by winning the Final, while Spain's Christian Costoya had enough of a lead to be crowned Champion despite retiring. The Netherlands' Dean Hoogendoorn secured a fourth place finish, enough to take the European OK-Junior Championship, while Canada's Ilie Crisan sped to victory. In the Academy-Senior class, Japan's Yuzuki Sato scored a double victory by winning the race and the title.

After an eventful first day, Saturday's Qualifying Heats brought more surprises at the Rødby Karting Ring. In all three categories, the drivers are keen to finish their European tour on a high note, with several still in contention for a prestigious international title.

In OK, Britain's Roman Kamyab retained his lead after securing pole position, while Spain's Christian Costoya has a clear chance of winning the title. The situation remains wide open in the FIA Karting Academy Trophy - Senior, both for victory in Rødby and for first place in the overall standings.

Britain's Roman Kamyab in OK and France's Matéo Rivals in OK-Junior secured pole position in the final round of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship, while Italy's Riccardo Ferrari did the same in the FIA Karting Academy Trophy - Senior. The Rødby circuit is known for producing unpredictable races, and there should be plenty of action between now and Sunday afternoon, both for victory in the Finals and for the three titles.

Kart Republic has had an extremely positive outcome in the fourth and penultimate round of the Champions of the Future Series. The Italian brand KR won both categories in Rødby with Kenzo Craigie (Prema Racing) in OK and Michael McGaughy (Koski Motorsport) in OK-Junior. The KR-IAME karts clearly delivered a strong performance, with several other drivers finishing on the podium and in the top 10. This bodes very well for the series final in September, but also for the last round of the FIA Karting European Championship, which is fast approaching.
