Rocco Coronel raced in the French IAME Series Championship last weekend at the Circuit International Jean Brun karting circuit in Varennes-sur-Allier. The 12-year-old driver from Victory Lane had a dominant weekend and came out well even under the changing weather conditions. Because the son of Tom Coronel and Paulien Zwart also won the final race, he grabbed a coveted ticket for the IAME World Finals, which will be held at the Portuguese karting circuit of Portimão in November. Coronel scored the ticket at the same circuit where Max Verstappen crowned himself world champion in KZ1 in 2013.

For the second appointment of the championship, the IAME Series Benelux will cross the Belgian border, where the fight will continue at the Circuit de la Métropole in Ostricourt (France).  No fewer than 244 drivers are registered for this race, which continues this weekend.  Among them the first winners of the season, but also pilots determined to take their revenge.  The battle promises to be intense and spectacular on the French circuit!

Responding to the schedules of multiple events, the World Karting Association (WKA) recognized that far too many events were scheduled on top of each other, forcing racers into the tough decision of choosing one event over another.  As a result, WKA made an aggressive decision to get out of that multiple-event pool to help the racers with their schedules. 

Last year, Liam Hezemans put the cherry on his first season in auto racing with the EuroNASCAR 2 championship. Fast forward six months and Hezemans is a race winner in the EuroNASCAR PRO division after dominating the first 18 laps of the 2023 season at Circuit Ricardo Tormo. The Dutchman took the lead at the start and never looked back in an exciting Round 1 that went green all the way to the end.
