The Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior has an exceptional field of 241 entrants from 57 nations breaking all previous records. The Franciacorta circuit, which has been part of the FIA Karting calendar since 2022, has made a name for itself in the sport in just a few short years. With a length of 1,300 meters, its fast and demanding layout presents a unique challenge.

The tension was already high at Franciacorta on Friday morning during Qualifying Practice for the Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior. There had already been a number of surprises, with new names coming to the fore and some top drivers performing relatively poorly. Apparently, it wasn't easy to get the right setup during Qualifying. While the pole position for Spaniard Christian Costoya (ESP) in OK-Junior was in line with expectations, that of Estonian Mark Dubnitski in OK was more surprising.

Another podium for Anthony Bongartz in the GK4 Kart Series. At the Mariembourg circuit, the fourteen-year-old driver from the Belgian town of Amel finished second in the IAME X30 Junior category during the fifth round of the championship. It meant the Eurokarting driver repeated his result in the fourth round at Genk.    

The first and highly anticipated international event for the two new categories, OK-N and OK-N Junior, will take place from October 4th to October 8th, 2023 as support races to the FIA Karting World Championship at the Franciacorta Karting Track.
