Two weeks after a frustrating weekend in the Champions of the Future Euro Series, the Birel ART Racing team turned things around in Sweden at the fourth and final round of the 2024 FIA Karting European Championship. Pedro Hiltbrand made a spectacular comeback in OK in the rain, after Charles Leclerc Racing's Matheus Morgatto had scored several top-five finishes in the dry during the heats. His teammate Ludovico Mazzola was also very competitive in the dry OK-Junior class.

Kart Republic has just taken the number of FIA European Karting Championship titles won in the OK category to six out of seven attempts since the Italian brand launched in 2018. At the final round in Kristianstad, Sweden, the KR-IAME packages were impressively successful: Joe Turney celebrated his first crown at this level with another win secured by a healthy margin; Fionn McLaughlin finished 3rd in the Final; Thibaut Ramaekers claimed Championship bronze in his first season in OK. In OK-Junior, Noah Baglin took 3rd place on the podium and was the top rookie in the overall standings, in which Iacopo Martinese came 3rd, as he did in 2023.

The FIA ​​Karting European Championship OK & Junior ended on the Kristianstad track last weekend, a 5-month journey that touched four different countries: Spain, France, Slovakia and Sweden. This 4-round Championship format limits the impact of good and bad luck and brings out the values ​​of the drivers and teams more clearly.

The Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship has crowned Britain's Joe Turney in OK and Belgium's Dries Van Langendonck in Junior with their performances in Sweden confirming their talent. Belgium's Gilles Herman won the FIA Karting Academy Trophy with an excellent display of maturity, while Switzerland's Dan Allemann came back brilliantly to secure 2nd place.

Three FIA Karting titles will be awarded at the event in Kristianstad, Sweden, from 1st to 4th August 2024 as part of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior and the FIA Karting Academy Trophy. The much-loved 1221m Åsum Ring circuit, will host this major event in an ideal setting for spectacular battles. The many international competitions that have taken place at Kristianstad over the last few years bode well for a top-quality event in the heart of Skåne, close to Denmark.
