The La Conca International Circuit is preparing to celebrate the champions of the WSK Open Series, in the second and final stage which begins on Tuesday 7 May with the first free practices and then ends on Saturday 11 May for the final stage, broadcast live on TV Live Streaming. In the race, as in the first appointment in Franciacorta, the MINI, OKNJ, OKN, KZ2 and KZ2 Masters categories.
The debut of the new categories included in the WSK Open Series was positive.
The first appointment held last month on the Franciacorta Karting Track circuit saw the OK-N and OK-N Junior categories take to the track together for the first time in a WSK Promotion weekend, established by FIA Karting to facilitate entry of drivers in OK and OKJ.
The two single-speed classes were immediately promoted and after a year from their launch it is possible to affirm that the work done has borne fruit, with large and well-participated grids, with fun races full of battles.
A goal achieved with teams, drivers and mechanics who placed their trust in the organizational machine of WSK Promotion. But the WSK Open Series has the privilege of having also started the KZ2 Masters, where here too there was no lack of interest in this category reserved for the most experienced drivers, aged 35 and over. Here are the protagonists at the start.
KZ2 – Van Walstijn first victory and current leader
In KZ2 the first victory of the season arrived for the Dutch driver Senna Van Walstijn (#11 Sodikart/Sodi-TM Kart-LeCont), obtained ahead of the Italian Cristian Bertuca (#1 BirelART Racing/BirelART-TM Kart).
