Ahead of the 2026–2028 FIA Karting homologation cycle, the Italian manufacturer has renewed its range of engines for both international and national classes, from MINI to Shifter, including the OK categories.
 

British youngster Lewis Wherrell will make his car racing debut in the GB4 Championship at Donington Park this weekend (4/5 October).

The season’s most important event for the OK and OK Junior categories concluded at the Kristanstad circuit in Sweden. After last year’s OK title in England, the CRG Racing team arrived in Sweden ready to fight for top results again. Despite strong pace throughout the weekend, the decisive step for a podium finish in Sunday’s Finals was just missing.

The biggest event of the season for the OK and OK Junior classes is just around the corner: from Thursday, September 11 to Sunday, September 14, the FIA World Championship will light up the Kristianstad track in Sweden.

On the Kristianstad circuit, the long preparation begins for the FIA World Championship OK and OK Junior, scheduled from September 11 to 14. After the test sessions held in August and last weekend, from today until Sunday the 7th, the 5th round of the Champions of The Future is on the program—a race that will exactly replicate the format of the World Championship.

This past weekend, the FIA European Championship for the OK and OK Junior categories concluded at the Rødby circuit in Denmark, with a splendid victory for the CRG Racing Team. Viktor Gustavsson won the Final in the OK category ahead of his teammate Davide Bottaro, securing a fantastic one-two finish.

This weekend, at the Rødby circuit in Denmark, the final round of the four-race FIA European Championship for OK and OK Junior will take place. The paddock for the direct-drive categories has been in Denmark for over ten days, as all the teams took part in the pre-race COTF last weekend and in collective testing the week before.

The engines are turned on today for the first free practice sessions on the Campillos circuit where the 1st round of the Champions of the Future series for the OK and OK Junior categories is scheduled for Saturday. This Series will take place over 5 rounds and will follow the same calendar as the FIA European Championship and will end on the eve of the FIA World Championship on the Kristianstad track, Sweden. For this reason, it represents a great test in preparation for the FIA events, also because, unlike other international meetings, it is run with the same tyres.

This is an important technical shakedown for the team, which will make its first official appearance in the race led by the new Team Principal Jeremy Iglesias. The former French driver will be assisted by Natalia Balbo and Brandon Nilsson, who led the team last year and, after the intense winter testing programme, the Lonato event will be very useful for refining all the management balances in the context of the short and frenetic times of a race weekend.

Austrian karting prodigy Niklas Schaufler is MP Motorsport’s latest addition to its 2025 F4 Spanish Championship line-up. Backed by the Red Bull Junior Team, Schaufler will transition to single-seater racing following a distinguished karting career which established him as one of motorsport’s most promising young talents.
