The FIA Karting European OK and OK-Junior Championships ended on a high note for the KR Global Motorsport Company group at Cremona: a hat-trick of OK-Junior titles in the Final and overall standings with Bondarev, Ramaekers and Martinese, as well as a double podium in OK with Tarnvanichkul and Nakamura-Berta, while Powell finished 3rd in the Championship! KR Motorsport has already secured the title of FIA Karting Team Champion in OK-Junior even before the World Championship.

Already the 2022 European OKJ Champion, Parolin Motorsport has just won the 2023 FIA Karting European OK Championship at Cremona with Rene Lammers. Barely 15 years old, the Dutch driver is a pure product of Parolin Motorsport with whom he has spent his entire karting career, since 2019. Trained in the school of 60 Mini and OK-Junior, Lammers certainly showed off his talent this year in OK against the top specialists.

Joel Bergstrom's 13-place recovery in the OK Final and Ean Eyckmans' overall performance in this category were the main positives to come out of the final round of the FIA Karting European OK and Junior Championship at Cremona. With the temperature rising steadily, the young Belgian from the Leclerc by Lennox Racing team achieved some exciting results: 6th in Qualifying, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 3rd and 4th in the heats, 10th after the Super Heats and 10th in the Final. 

Losing an FIA title at the last race obviously makes you feel regret, but at the same time being European Vice-Champions and having many competitive drivers in the OK direct drive top class, above all offers many reasons for satisfaction for the CRG colours. Gabriel Gomez's season was exceptional in the FIA ​​European Championship and only in the last decisive race the Brazilian driver did fail to express himself on podium levels like he did in the first 3 Rounds, when he had often dominated the scene. As in the exceptional race in the Czech Republic, when he got on the top step of the podium, after obtaining the Pole Position and dominating all the Qualifying races. A Heat lost due to a technical problem and an unlucky start in the Final influenced the Cremona weekend, but above all a feeling with the setup and the circuit that has never been exceptional during this appointment. As mentioned, however, the balance of his season remains very positive and being Vice-Champion of Europe will have to be the impetus to go to the FIA ​​World Championship in October among the favorites for the title.

After the enthusiastic Finals, the general positive feeling about the organisation and the quality of the races only served to confirm the Rotax MAX Challenge International Trophy's privileged position on the international scene. The variable weather did nothing to tarnish the reputation of the event, whose high level of competitiveness won over the participants. Winners Emerson MacAndrew-Ursen (GBR) in Micro Max, Albert Friend (GBR) in Mini Max, Tom Dussol (FRA) in Junior Max, Ethan Jeff-Hall (GBR) in Senior Max, Antoine Barbaroux (FRA) in DD2 Max and Maxime Gravouille (FRA) in DD2 Max Masters were all smiling at the prospect of their forthcoming participation in the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Final in Bahrain.
