On Friday 11th October, the KZ categories battled it out on the wet track of the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve for Qualifying Practice. Dutchman Senna Van Walstijn took pole position in the Mondokart.com FIA Karting World Championship - KZ, Italian Cristian Bertuca took pole position in the FIA Karting World Cup - KZ2 and Brazilian Andre Nicastro set the fastest time in the FIA Karting International Super Cup - Masters.

With almost a third of the field equipped with French chassis, Sodi was by far the most represented brand in KZ2 at La Conca for the second and final round of the WSK Open Series. A regular at the front, Emilien Denner was undoubtedly one of the protagonists of the meeting. A superb 2nd in the Final, he returned to 3rd in the Championship, while Senna Van Walstijn secured 2nd place. Thanks to Mattéo Spirgel and Giuseppe Palomba, the French brand placed four chassis in the top 10 of both the Final and the Championship.

The 22nd edition of the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals will take place this year in Portugal, at the Kartodrómo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão from 19th to 26th November, with 394 drivers from more than 60 countries. Since 2010, Sodi has been a loyal partner of the Rotax World Finals as a chassis supplier. For its 12th year of close collaboration with BRP-Rotax in the framework of the RMCGF, Sodikart will supply the Senior Max and Junior Max chassis, in addition to the E20 Junior and E20 Senior, i.e. for the first time, four categories using Sodi.

Sodikart, a long-standing and valued partner of BRP-Rotax with its high-quality chassis and competent services, is delighted to have been chosen once again as the technical provider for the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals 2021, which will take place from 11th to 18th December at the Bahrain International Karting Circuit. 

For 40 years, Sodikart's success has been built on a bold development strategy, unique innovations and a constant quest for excellence in the service of its customers. The new dynamics of the coming decade will be visualised in 2022 by the unveiling of a new logo and a new visual identity for the Sodi brand.

Sodi chassis achieved a great overall result in the Final of the FIA Karting European Championships in Italy, on the Adria circuit. Senna Van Walstijn became European KZ2 vice-champion after a race that saw Hubert Petit move up to 2nd position and Arthur Carbonnel finish 4th. In KZ, Adrien Renaudin finished 5th in the Championship after a remarkable comeback from 9th to 4th place in the Final.

The European Championships for the KZ and KZ2 categories started in Germany in Wackersdorf with a magnificent overall result for Sodi chassis. Perfectly supported by the CPB Sport team, Senna Van Walstijn proved to be untouchable and unbeaten in KZ2. The Dutchman is already solidly in the lead of the Championship. Adrien Renaudin was forced to start from 10th position in the KZ Final after a small incident during the Qualifying Heats, but he made a remarkable comeback in 5th position.

Frenchman Arthur Dorison and the two British drivers, Cathal Clark and Nathan Tye Jnr, will make their international debut in OK-Junior this year in the colours of Sodikart. In close collaboration with Sodi Racing Team manager Julien Dexmier, Jean-Philippe Guignet's objective is above all to continue to develop the Sodi / TM Racing teams in Junior as well as to train promising young drivers during a full programme.

On the last weekend of January, Offenbach am Main in Germany was once again the centre of the karting world. The classic IKA Kartmesse trade fair hosted the world's largest kart exhibition for the 28th time, although in this new decade, the exhibition presented itself on a slightly smaller scale than in previous years. For the first time, the fair only opened six instead of seven halls.

The 20th edition of the Rotax Max Grand Finals Challenge takes place in Italy, at the Circuito Internazionale Napoli, Sarno from 19th to 26th October 2019, with 360 drivers from more than 50 countries. Since 2010, Sodi has been a faithful partner of the Rotax World Final as a chassis supplier. This year, Sodikart is once again supplying the Max and DD2 Masters chassis - a total of 152 karts - and is entering its 10th consecutive year as official supplier to the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals.

The exciting story of Sodikart and endurance racing has been enriched by a new and particularly brilliant chapter at the 34th edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours Karting, held on the last weekend of September. With many Sodi chassis competing, Sodi has achieved excellent results at the most famous endurance race in the world. The factory Sodikart GP1 team won the overall classification with its second consecutive FIA Karting Endurance Championship, while the GP2 class concluded with three Sodi chassis on the podium.

A week after Bas Lammers' crowning in the WSK Super Master Series, Sodi drivers once again shone on the Sarno circuit for the first round of the WSK Euro Series. Bas Lammers and Anthony Abbasse confirmed the performance of the French chassis by both mounting the Final podium after tough battles. With four Sodi in the top 10, the French brand achieved the best team score.

The second round of the WSK Final Cup again saw a victory for a Sodi in the KZ2 category. After Bas Lammers at Lonato, the young Adrien Renaudin won the event at Castelletto di Branduzzo after a domination that says a lot about the potential of the machine and the driver. During a suspenseful Final, the reigning European Champion caught up with extraordinary mastery, after being compromised at the beginning of the race. That bodes well for his debut with the Sodi Racing Team next year in KZ.
