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.

British drivers Noah Baglin and Will Green claimed European Champion glory today (Sunday 2 August), with both Kart Republic drivers delivering a final flourish to cap off exemplary campaigns across the four rounds of the championship. The 2026 Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship reached its climax at the Åsum Ring in Kristianstad, wrapping up a European season that has delivered drama, nail-biting finals and unmissable racing from some of motor sport’s brightest future stars.

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.

Since winning the KZ European Championship title in 2023, Danilo Albanese has been one of the most consistent drivers on the podium in this highly competitive category at FIA Karting events. Finishing 2nd in Spain in 2024, 3rd at the World Championship in Franciacorta in 2025 and then 3rd at Genk in 2026, the Italian driver has now concluded the European Championship in 2nd place. This consistency in results clearly demonstrates the competitiveness of Kart Republic’s factory equipment and that of the KR-IAME package in the gearbox categories.

Having already set the fastest time in his group during Friday morning’s Free Practice, Danilo Albanese was awarded the pole position trophy a few hours later with a magnificent lap of 50.867 seconds. A time the Italian driver improved upon further to 50.687 seconds in Saturday’s warm-up!

The Kart Republic family has just delivered one of its finest performances in an FIA Karting event since its inception: OK: P1 • P2 • P3 • P4 • P5 • P6 - OK-Junior: P1 • P2 • P3 • P6 • P8

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!

The Champions of the Future Academy Program launches its first dedicated UK series at Kart Silverstone from 26 to 29 March. For the first time, Mini 60 and OK-N will headline a standalone national series.

The WSK Super Master Series came to a close at Franciacorta following five rounds held between late January and late March. At every event, the Kart Republic colours were on the top step of the podium.

As the overall result shows, KR chassis performed well in all categories at Lonato, from Mini to KZ. Seven podiums, including two victories, added to the Italian brand's list of achievements in the WSK Super Master Series. With just a few days to go before the final round in Franciacorta, many drivers flying the colours of the Kart Republic factory chassis are extremely well placed to reach the overall podium of the series. The suspense is already over in OK-N Junior: with four wins in four races, Niccolo Perico is already assured of taking the crown!

Karting has always been the proving ground of motorsport. It is where raw talent first reveals itself. But talent is only meaningful if it is exposed properly.

In all categories in which the KR chassis was officially represented, the podium was secured in the third round of the WSK Super Master Series. On the Leopard circuit, the event ended with Niccolo Perico's victory in OK-N Junior, where the Italian extended his lead in the overall standings. Titles are also still within reach in OK and OK-Junior, as well as in both Mini categories.

From Mini to KZ, KR chassis performed well in all categories during the second round of the WSK Super Master Series. This was clearly the Italian brand's goal for this trip to the Sarno circuit, which is preparing to host an FIA Karting event, the Champions of the Future Euro Series and an ACI Italian Championship event.

In Italy, the end of January marked the start of the new season for KR Motorsport and WSK Promotion, with the opening of the Super Master Series at the World Circuit La Conca. With a total of six podium finishes, the KR chassis proved that it remains a major force on the international scene. Several teams that chose the Italian equipment produced in Veneto were also delighted with the high performance of the new IAME engines.

The 2025 WSK Final Cup ended with a significant haul of trophies for KR chassis. At the conclusion of the series taking place in Franciacorta, Cremona and Lonato, the podium ceremony saw a total of 13 podiums at South Garda Karting: five obtained in the Finals and eight in the overall classification, including four Champion titles and two Vice-Champion titles. The Kart Republic factory congratulates the drivers, teams and engine builders for these brilliant successes.

After racking up victories at the opening round of the WSK Final Cup in Franciacorta, Kart Republic continued its winning streak over the next two weeks. First at the major international IAME brand cup event, the IWF in Valencia, with two triple wins in the main categories: X30 Senior and X30 Junior. Then, in Cremona for the second of three rounds of the WSK Final Cup, Zak Drummond won in OK and Wynn Godschalk in Mini U10. As ever, the high-performing KR chassis remain in contention for titles in six of the seven categories.

The first of the three WSK Final Cup events ended on an extremely positive note for Kart Republic factory equipment and the teams that use it: 12 podiums including four victories, two triple wins and 30% KR chassis in a strong field of 357 entrants.

The Group brings together eight leading Italian companies in an integrated motorsport ecosystem: the first capable of bridging the worlds of karting and racing cars.

KR-IAME teams dominated the FIA Karting World Championship in Kristianstad. In OK, Thibaut Ramaekers had a perfect Final to beat Joe Turney. In OK-Junior, Noah Baglin led from start to finish and was joined on the podium by two other drivers equipped with KR chassis. The technical and sporting decisions taken by the Kart Republic factory clearly contributed to this exceptional overall result, while ensuring that satellite teams had highly competitive equipment.
