Initially scheduled to take place in Brazil, the FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior has been rescheduled very early in the season in Portugal to cope with the difficulties generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. 177 Drivers are committed to participating in the last and probably most exciting Competition of the season at the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve from 5th to 8th November 2020.

The Parolin Racing Kart chassis once again showed excellent competitiveness at the double closing meeting of the WSK Euro Series in Lonato in three of the four categories, despite numerous race incidents. A final victory in Mini and three drivers in the top five of the championship, a 4th place in the Final and a 7th place in the Junior championship for Dodds as well as two top 10 and a 7th place in the OK championship for Wharton attest to Parolin’s level of performance.

The last round of the European Championship didn't go very well for Parolin Racing Kart. Little known by the team, the circuit of Wackersdorf offered very different conditions than the two previous competitions and the circumstances weren't often favourable for the Parolin drivers. Only Valerio Rinicella was able to maintain his position in the Junior class and to finish in 4th place of the Championship, an exceptional result for a rookie. However, the Racing Team took the opportunity to prepare for the World meeting at Portimao.

With another pole position and a top six for Maxwell Dodds in OK-Junior at Sarno, Parolin Racing Kart was looking like they would achieve the Zuera scenario again. However, the circumstances were very different in the second round of the OK and OK-Junior European Championship.

In line with the previous phases, the Finals of the FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior were hotly contested in Sarno, but the favourites won indisputably after some spectacular races. After a faultless race from start to finish, Britain's Taylor Barnard won in the OK class, while Ugo Ugochukwu of the United States won in the Junior class.

Twenty Qualifying Heats, eight in OK and twelve in Junior, were on the programme on Saturday 22nd August on the Sarno circuit for the second Competition of the FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior. The intensity of the Heats, as well as the nervousness of some Drivers, shaped the provisional hierarchy. Barnard continued his dominance in OK, while Ugochukwu had a clear round in Junior.

The heat continues to play an important role in this early season of 2020, which has been postponed to the middle of summer. The second Competition of the FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior which is currently taking place at the Circuito Internazionale Napoli in Sarno is no exception. Two British Drivers have shown their skill during Qualifying Practice, Maxwell Dodds in Junior and Taylor Barnard in OK.

Parolin Racing Kart travelled to Spain with seven drivers to take part in the first round of the new Champions of the Future series at the Zuera circuit. The performance of the official Parolin-TM Racing karts with LeCont tyres in the same conditions as the next FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior was convincing, two weeks before the European grand opening.

The double WSK Super Master Series event held in Adria at the beginning of July marked the new start of the 2020 racing season after the long interruption of COVID-19. Impacted like all Italian manufacturers by long weeks of lockdown, Parolin Racing Kart has relaunched its activity with motivation increased tenfold that has already borne fruit on the track. In the factory team, Matheus Morgatto in OK and Maciej Gladysz in Mini were the spearheads of the brand in Adria.

The titles of WSK Super Master Series have been awarded to the Finn Simo Puhakka in KZ2, the Russian Nikita Bedrin in OK, the Brit Arvid Lindblad in OKJ and the other Russian Dmitry Matveev in MINI at the end of the closing round.

In the second round of the WSK Super Master Series, the drivers of the Exprit Racing Team see the results of their efforts at the start of the season and continue their growth path.

Participation has been great also in the first of the four rounds of WSK Super Master Series that is underway in Adria one week after the WSK Champions Cup. A total of 231 drivers gathered in fact in Adria to contest the three categories OK, OKJ and Mini. Qualifying and heats took place today. Further heats will follow on Saturday, while the final stages will go live with the web streaming on Sunday, February 2nd.

The Circuit South Garda Karting has staged the event that awarded the FIA Karting World Championship KZ to the Dutch driver Marijn Kremers on BirelArt-Tm-Bridgestone and the International Super Cup KZ2 to the French Emilien Denner on Sodi-Tm-Bridgestone. The victory in Academy Trophy went to Singapore’s Christian Ho, but the title to the Lithuanian Kajus Siksnelis. The FIA Karting World Championship in Lonato will be remembered for the great participation and the new record of 260 drivers, but also for the exceptional presence of spectators. Such an amount of fans had not been seen at a karting track for a while and crowded the immense grandstand at the South Garda Karting circuit.
