THE ACCESSORIES AND DETAILS OF THE KART REPUBLIC KR2 BY VDK RACING, WINNER OF THE FIA KARTING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OK 2025
From 12 to 14 September 2025, the Åsum Ring in Kristianstad, Sweden — a circuit famous for the section, between the end of the first sector and the start of the second, where karts seem to “take off”, as shown in this reel on the TKART Instagram account — hosted the FIA Karting World Championship for the OK and OKJ single-speed categories. In the OK, the CIK-FIA’s top category for single-speed karts, the title was won by Belgian driver Thibaut Ramaekers, of the VDK Racing team, at the wheel of a Kart Republic KR2 chassis powered by an IAME Reedster V engine and fitted with Maxxis MA01 Prime slick tyres. The final, held on Sunday 14 at 13:35, was contested in dry conditions, with some remaining puddles from the morning rain and an ambient temperature of about 18 °C. After starting from fifth place on the grid, Ramaekers managed to climb up to take the lead of the group. Thanks to a consistent pace, he was able to control his advantage and took the chequered flag with a gap of almost one second over his pursuers. With the support of Eric Verdaasdonk, Team Manager of VDK Racing, we were able to discover which elements and accessories characterised the World Champion kart.
