Frankfurt am Main. A long winter break comes to an end next weekend for the German Kart Championship. In Muelsen, the three categories DJKM (OKJ), DSKM (KZ2) and DSKC (KZ2) will start into the new season. In the supporting program, the young drivers of the Mini 60 Series by Chrono Karting will compete.

The Tony Kart Racer 401 RR sets the fastest time in the qualifyings of the first round of the FIA Karting European Championship 2023 reserved for KZ and KZ2 categories, however the weekend does not end as expected.

After the two victories for the KR direct-drive chassis at the opening of the European Championships in OK and OK-Junior, it is now the turn of the "Shifter" model to win a major FIA Karting competition. On the difficult Zuera circuit, Jamaican Alex Powell dominated the KZ2 class Final from 5th position. Similarly, the competitiveness of the KR Motorsport team was clear in KZ, but events did not go in favour of Italian Paolo Ippolito, the reigning European Champion.

CRG colors experienced a top weekend during the 1^st Round of the FIA ​​European Championship – KZ & KZ2 that took place in Zuera, Spain, from 13^th to 16^th April. In the top KZ class, Jeremy Iglesias and his CRG Road Rebel dominated the Final from the 1^st to the last lap, also setting the fastest lap of the race, ahead of Viganò and Van Walstijn on the finish line.

In Spain, in Zuera, the performance of Sodi chassis was certainly on the agenda for the first FIA Karting KZ / KZ2 meeting of the season, with excellent results in both categories. Leader at the end of the heats, winner of the Super Heat and on the Final podium in KZ after a very competitive race, Senna Van Walstijn took the lead of the European Championship. Thanks to the competitiveness of his teammate Emilien Denner, Sodikart is also leading the team ranking.
