With 233
registered drivers, the FIA Karting World Championship will be held in England,
at the PF International Karting Track, between September 12 and 15, with live
coverage by Portal Kart Motor.
The number of
participants is a new record and surpasses the 214 registered last year in
Franciacorta, Italy. In addition to them, another 29 drivers will compete in
the OK-N World Cup, totaling 262 registered from 59 countries.
Brazil will
have 17 drivers in total, divided between the OK Junior, OK and OK-N
categories, the second largest delegation in the main karting competition in
the world. Five of them will participate in the World Championship after
winning their places in the Regional Cup and will join the Parolin team with
their “technical” expenses – registration, chassis, tires, engine, fuel, etc. –
paid for by the CBA. Two others secured their places by becoming champions in
the South American Championship.
OK is the
category in which we will have the most Brazilians, a total of eight. Allan
Croce, Bernardo Bernoldi (son of Enrique Bernoldi, who competed in two seasons
in Formula 1), Enzo Nienkotter, Gabriel Koenigkan, Matheus Morgatto (world
champion in 2022), Miguel Costa, Murilo Rocha and Olin Galli have all confirmed
their participation.
Brazil will
have six drivers in OK Junior: Augustus Toniolo, Caio Zorzetto, Lucas Correa,
Marcelo Tortato, Victor Alencar and Vinícius Ferro, and three in OK-N (Enzo
Prando, Heitor Dall´Agnol and Lucas Moura).
The largest
delegation will be from Great Britain, with 56 entrants. Brazil, as we said, is
in second place, with 17, followed by Italy (16), France (13) and the United
States (10).
The FIA
Karting World Championship will be held in the same format as in recent years
and recently used in the South American Championship, that is, qualifying races
and a Pre-Final, whose points total will determine the 36 drivers who qualify
for the Final. In the World Cup, which has fewer than 36 entrants, all drivers
will compete in the Final.
