Italian Champion Lorenzo Camplese will make his second start in the Race of Stars International karting event when he heads to Australia’s Gold Coast next month.

The new kart for kids designed by Sodikart - the SODI KidRacer - lets children pretend to be a racing driver or drive like mum or dad, before they can even ride a bike! Behind the wheel of a real 100% electric, non-polluting kart, budding drivers from 3 to 6 years old can now race their friends too or learn basic driving skills, just like a grown-up!

Even in this edition, before starting the engines, every record has been beaten and the ROK International Final confirms to be as one of the world's greatest karting events.

After several Free Practice sessions, the 33rd edition of the 24 Hours Karting got under way on Friday afternoon with four Qualifying sessions. The Italian team No. 2 CRG SpA progressively increased their dominance to take a superb pole position while their main opponent had to throw in the towel. In GP2, an X30 engine enabled the No. 41 RSD Karting to set the fastest time.

CIK-FIA President Felipe Massa wanted to be in attendance in Sweden for the last big sporting event of the 2018 season, the FIA ​​Karting World Championship - OK and Junior held in Kristianstad from 20th to 23rd September. With his great appreciation of competition, he enjoyed the extremely high standard of racing and was pleased with the increase in the number of participants.
