The final race of the World Championship for KF and KF Junior categories held at the Bahrain International Karting Circuit confirmed our products’ absolute quality both in KF and in KFJ category.
The second world round for KFJ was led by the European Champion, the British Lando Norris (FA Kart-Vortex), of the Ricky Flynn Motorsport team, who preceded our Nikita Mazepin, author of a race all in the fight. Mazepin, jumped from the third row, fought with great grit Ticktum, Kari, Ahmed, Pulcini, Lorandi and Shwartzman, eventually gaining a deserved second position.
After the race our drive got a penalty, for having crossed the track line and for this reason he could not get on the podium. Our Racing Team’s management, not agreeing with the penalty, appealed.
For this, we will present our reason in favour of our driver Nikita Mazepin at the International Federation’s seat.
Still in KFJ, the Estonian Ralf Aron easily enter the final, showing off his very good talent, but unfortunately Aron got involved in a collision during the first lap.
Much more unlucky was Gabriel Aubry, at his debut with our Racing Team, the French driver ran the heats always at the top position but his chance to win stopped in the A prefinal.
Aubry, jumped from the third row, had to withdraw at the first lap because of an accident, losing any chance to gain good results in the final.
The French driver also showed off to be fast in the warm-up, signing the best lap of his session. The same good result, first position, was achieved by Mazepin, confirming again all our drivers’ high competitiveness.

In KF class Karol Basz got on the podium, gaining the second position, at the end of a weekend where our technical material was the protagonist.
Basz paid for having withdrawn in the second eliminatory heat but he recovered in the third heat, signing the best lap in race.
In the pre-final Basz was able to recover from the unlucky heat and gained the fourth row at the starting grid. In the very final our driver fought all over the first half of the competition against Tiene, Lennox-Lamb, Boccolacci, Verstappen and Nielsen before reaching and chasing the leader, Joyner.
Despite his attempt to recapture the leader, the time he lost at the beginning prevented Basz from filling the gap.
Both in the final and in the prefinal, the best lap was signed by the extraordinary Danish driver of the Ward Racing team, Andrea Hansen, at the drive of a Tony Kart-Vortex chassis. He got the seventh position in the Championship standings, and got important scores in both competitions.
Basz’s result allowed our driver to take the fourth position with 20 scores in the Championship standings.
