Maglie (ITA), 13.11.2023: It is a truly significant entry list for the first of the two WSK Final Cup events in Lonato, from November 15 to 19, marking a sold-out season finale in conjunction with the second and concluding event the following week at Franciacorta.
The opener of Lonato with 350 drivers.
The South Garda Karting track will host participants across various categories, including MINI, OKJ, OK, KZ2, X30 Junior and X30 Senior. The grid boasts prominent teams and manufacturers. For many drivers, this is an opportunity to solidify their status as season-end protagonists, redeem any disappointments, or for some, make a debut in the higher category in preparation for the next year.
A lot of protagonists at the start of the WSK Final Cup.
The MINI category, with 121 drivers, is a sold-out affair featuring major protagonists and season winners such as Daniel Miron Lorente with Team Driver in MINI Gr.3 Under 10, the recently crowned OKJ champion Jacopo Martinese with KR Motorsport in a field of about 100 drivers, and the OK category with approximately 50 drivers, where the champion Kirill Kutskov will be competing. The KZ2 category, led by Cristian Bertuca with BirelART Racing, also has a strong presence, with Bertuca being the earlier-season winner of the WSK Champions Cup and the Super Master Series.
Bogdan Cosma Cristofor, the MINI Gr3 champion of the WSK Euro Series, will race with Team Driver in X30 Junior, facing competition from his teammate Tiziano Kuzhnini, winner of the Open Series. Meanwhile, X30 Senior anticipates a showdown among top contenders in the category, including Federico Rossi with team PRK and Antonio Apicella with Team Driver.
