Italian karter Alvise Rodella has chosen MP Motorsport for his full-season promotion to single-seaters. The youngster will step up from karts for a campaign in the 2023 Spanish Formula 4 Championship with the Dutch team.

Spanish youngster Bruno Del Pino Ventos will team up with MP Motorsport for his debut in the inaugural Eurocup-3 season. The 16-year-old is gearing up for his second season in single-seaters after a promising first year in the Spanish Formula 4 Championship.

The final day of the FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior in Valencia was split into two distinct parts with the Super Heats in the morning and the Finals in the early afternoon. In the beautiful Spanish weather, the races provided an intense sporting spectacle in which the best placed drivers at the start were not guaranteed to climb to the top of the podium. Belgian Thibaut Ramaekers won the Junior Final and Briton Joe Turney gained five places to win the OK Final.

Spain will host the inaugural event of the 2023 FIA Karting season from March 23-26. The Kartódromo Internacional Lucas Guerrero de Valencia will make its debut on the FIA Karting calendar with the first round of the European Championship - OK & Junior.

Thirty Qualifying heats were run in Valencia, 15 in each category, to establish the intermediate classification of the first round of the 2023 FIA Karting European Championships - OK and Junior. OK poleman Gabriel Gomez (BRA) managed a clean sweep and remains the unbeaten leader of the category. Elliot Kaczynski (SWE) took the lead in the Junior class against Taym Saleh (DEU).
