FIA ​​Karting World Championships - Qualifying Practices

This year, 13 GP1 karts will compete on the 1384m Le Mans Karting International Circuit as part of the FIA ​​Karting Endurance Championship. Lightweight and powerful, these machines, powered by the latest generation OK engines, have also demonstrated their excellent reliability in the previous two editions.

CIK-FIA President Felipe Massa is keeping his promise to be as active as possible on the ground. He attended the FIA ​​Karting World Championship - KZ at Genk (BEL) and will travel to Sweden soon for the OK and OK-Junior categories.

The third season for the new direct drive kart categories confirms the accuracy of their technical formula with a steady increase in entries since their introduction in 2016. This year, the FIA ​​Karting World Championships - OK and Junior exceed the 200 entries for the Competition that will take place in Sweden, at Kristianstad from 20th to 23rd September 2018. This record can also be explained by the attraction of a World Competition decided over a single Race as well as the quality of the organisation and of the Swedish welcome.

Patrik Hajek (CZE) became FIA ​​Karting World Champion - KZ in Genk (BEL) this weekend. Kobe Pauwels (BEL) won the FIA ​​Karting Academy Trophy Final where the Trophy was won by Jose Maria Navalon Boya (ESP) and Matteo Vigano (ITA) triumphed in the FIA ​​Karting International Super Cup - KZ2. The Genk Competition will be remembered as a remarkable event thanks to the show, the quality of the organisation and the large audience.

The first FIA Karting World Competition of the year promises to be particularly bright in Belgium at Genk, the Home of Champions. At the top of the bill, the FIA ​​Karting World Championship - KZ shares the programme with three other important events, while the Limburg Karting team and the Lemmens family have devoted all their energy to the organisation of this prestigious Competition. More than 180 Drivers from nearly 45 nations from five continents have entered this event.

The second Competition of the 2018 FIA ​​Karting European Championship - Superkart offered great fights at the TT circuit Assen (NLD), on 18th and 19th August in front of a huge audience. Although Peter Elkmann, the defending champion, seemed to dominate the racing, against all odds the outcome of the second race on Sunday opens up the Championship.
