The first round of the WSK Final Cup at Lonato saw the Birel ART Racing Team welcome a number of newcomers alongside some familiar faces at a well-attended meeting.

The Mondokart.com - FIA Karting World Championship - OK & Junior got underway late on Friday morning with Qualifying Practice. The large number of participants, 105 in OK and 119 in OK-Junior, meant that five heats were needed for each category.

Harrison Whitticombe later took pole position for the FIA Karting World Cup - OK-N. 

The victory at the Franciacorta Karting Track went to Robertson (MINI U10), Miron Lorente (MINI Gr.3), Pizzonia (OKNJ), Yildirim (OKN), Kamyab (OKJ), and Lindblom (OK). The next round will be in Sarno on September 29th.
