THE ACCESSORIES OF DPK RACING'S KART REPUBLIC KR1, WINNER OF THE FIA KARTING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OK 2023, IN FRANCIACORTA
The FIA Karting World Championship is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most important race of the entire racing season. In 2023, over two hundred drivers between the two main single-speed classes, OK and OKJ, met at the Franciacorta Karting Track in Castrezzato (Italy), from 5 to 8 October 2023, to win the two titles up for grabs. Based on a single race, any slightest mistake can compromise the work of an entire year and the final result can be unpredictable down to the last metre (by the way, we discuss it in “Editorial | What's the point of an FIA Karting World Championship like this?” ). On a recently built track (inaugurated in 2020), that is fast and sinuous, Kirill Kutskov, driver of DPK Racing, triumphed in the OK class, driving the Kart Republic KR1 powered by IAME Reedster V and with MG SM tires (yellow). The fact that a chassis was used that, on paper, was created for the Shifter classes (read "Under Review | KR1 M.Y. '22, the Kart Republic specific for the shifter categories") is curious. But there are several aspects to discover and analyse, in terms of accessories and set-up solutions adopted by the team of brothers Diego and Pablo Rodrìguez in Sunday's final, held on dry asphalt and with temperatures close to 29°C, atypical for the month of October. Let's see them together.
