With 24 intense races in the X30 Mini, X30 Junior and X30 Senior categories throughout the day, drivers fought hard to secure the best possible ranking for Sunday’s Super Heats. Every heat counted, as finishing positions translated into crucial points that would determine the starting order for the decisive final phases.

Since its creation, the IWF has continually produced top-level finals, bringing together drivers from all over the world on IAME-powered karts that have been proving their worth for many years. Held in Zuera, Spain, the 2024 edition of the IAME Warrior Final crowned four talented drivers after epic duels: Many Nuvolini in X30 Mini, Kenzo Craigie in X30 Junior, Eduardo Dominguez Espinosa in X30 Senior and John Norris in X30 Master.

Nothing was easy for the drivers and teams in the south of Portugal, due to the changing weather conditions. The rankings from the Free Practice sessions did not always hold, resulting in some particularly hotly contested first Qualifying Heats.
