Maglie (ITA), 20.01.2023: The opening of the WSK season at the South Garda Karting in Lonato on 25-29 February presents itself with excellent conditions: in fact, 320 drivers are expected for the WSK Champions Cup, the traditional race at the beginning of the year, which has come to celebrate its 10th edition with quite a success of participation confirming the constantly growing trend for WSK Promotion events.
It is the WSK Champions Cup that will open the international karting season this year too, with the usual categories MINI, OKJ, OK and KZ2. And from this first race the two live categories of the X30 Junior and Senior are added for their debut in the WSK world.
Among the crowded categories, the primacy as usual goes to MINI that in the category with international MINI Gr.3 homologation by now thourogly exceeds 100 drivers per race. Such numbers have led from this year to the division into two age groups: the first one from 8 to 10 years for the Under 10, and the second one from 10 to 12 years.
Excellent participation also in the other youth category of OK-Junior, as well as in the two most performing categories, OK and KZ2 with gears. The debut of the two X30 Junior and X30 Senior was also very positive. Both categories of WSK events will be met again later in the four rounds of the WSK Open Cup and in one round of the WSK Final Cup.
The program of the WSK Champions Cup in Lonato:
Wednesday 25 January and Thursday 26 free practice.
Friday 27 January qualifying practice and first heats.
Preliminary heats on Saturday January 28th.
Sunday 29 January Prefinals and Finals live on TV Streaming.
