The traditional Andrea Margutti Trophy will once again have a great participation. More than 200 drivers already entered the 29th edition of this historic race organized by Parma Motorsport for next March 9-11 at the South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato.

The strong growth of the Sodi chassis in international competition was particularly well illustrated during the 2018 Winter Cup. With its 17 KZ2s, Sodikart was the second best represented brand at Lonato in the advanced category, strong proof of the interest aroused by the performance of the French factory. Anthony Abbasse's 2nd place and Adrien Renaudin's top five confirmed the excellent level of the Sodi even though the major classic proved very difficult this year.

The tough results of the 2018 Winter Cup Finals did not reflect Parolin Racing Kart’s presence in the foreground during most of this famous competition. The Parolin chassis were certainly at the forefront of the performance multiple times, in OK-Junior with Gabriele Mini, in Mini Rok with Piotr Protasiewicz and also in KZ2 with the superb performance of Alessio Lorandi.

Despite winter conditions which were still harsh for the machines and men, the 23rd edition of the Winter Cup validated the positive dynamic that prevails this season within Birel ART Racing.

It's been a learning weekend for the Baby Race Team at Lonato in the traditional Winter Cup.
