This time, the KZ2 category was also equipped with tyres from the Rovereto factory, as in the Open Series. The pole position achieved by Germany's David Trefilov with a sensational time of 44"961 testifies to the outstanding qualities of the Italian tyres.

The Italian tyre manufacturer LeCont has been one of the suppliers for international events such as the FIA Kart World and European Championships for several years. In Germany, Pro Kart in Wackersdorf takes over the import and is now building up a nationwide distribution network.

The date of the WSK Super Cup by MINI has been fixed to Saturday, June 10th, while the second round of the WSK Euro Series in Sarno has been postponed by one week to November 5th, 2023.

LeCont has concluded its second full year of official partnership with WSK Promotion with satisfaction and pride. Throughout the 10 events of the 2022 season, the Italian manufacturer has guaranteed consistent, high-performance tyres for competitors in the OK category and in KZ2 in the Euro Series. The success of the second and final round of the WSK Final Cup held in Lonato confirmed the effectiveness of Italian tyres, with a new lap record in OK.

The young and very promising Mexican driver Jesse Carrasquedo has taken part in the third and final round of the WSK Euro Series. Held in Sarno, this meeting was an ideal preparation for the next round of the FIA Karting European Championship for OK, which will take place soon on the international circuit located near Naples in Italy. After a lot of fine-tuning work with the Parolin Motorsport team, Jesse Carrasquedo won his place among the finalists, while managing to progressively move up the rankings.

Selected by tender to supply tyres to the drivers in the OK category of the 2019 FIA ​​Karting European Championship, the manufacturer LeCont perfectly fulfilled the mission that the CIK-FIA entrusted them with.
