Jesse Carrasquedo has had a particularly rewarding year at the highest level of international karting in 2021, before he moves on to cars in 2022. His determination and talent have allowed him to be among the best drivers of his generation throughout the season.

The wet conditions on the Campillos circuit on Sunday were an important element in the running of the 2021 FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior. The last Qualifying Heats had already brought some surprises, but the Finals were full of twists and turns before rewarding Japan's Kean Nakamura Berta in Junior and Finland's Tuukka Taponen in OK.

The 2021 champion also wins race 3 taking his tally to 11 victories. Bedrin does not exactly shine, but still wins the rookie title, while Van Amersfoort wins the team championship.

Located between Granada and Seville, the Campillos circuit was chosen as the setting for the 2021 FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior partly because of its very southern location in Europe. Further south than La Conca (ITA), less open to oceanic influences than Portimão (PRT), it should be able to offer good weather conditions from 28th to 31st October for the big end-of-season event.

The Qualifying Heats of the FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior were of course very competitive on Saturday 30th October in Campillos. They were also very open as it is very rare to see so many different winners, seven in each category. James Egozi (USA) was the star of the OK-Junior class with a clear round of four wins. In OK, another American, Ugo Ugochukwu, is currently leading.
