We have produced 2 video clips that show how "the guardian angels of drivers" experience the races. Tension, emotion, joy, anger and sometimes tears: there is all this in the races for those who work behind the scenes. Here's what happened at the 2021 FIA Karting World Championship OK and OKJ

When watching a kart race, whether from home on TV or live streaming or on the track, there is an almost hidden place that no one usually sees. Obviously, everyone has their eyes on the track, which is why it is difficult to look where there are people who are special for those who drive karts: the mechanics.
Here, for once, in the OK and OKJ FIA Karting World Championship 2021 in Campillos, Spain, we wanted to see a race with them, among the mechanics, focusing, of course, on the staff of the drivers who were competing for the title in the two classes. And we offer you what we have seen, through these unique and exclusive pictures, which we took with a simple mobile phone, in secret, unnoticed, while the two finals that awarded the 2021 world titles in the single-speed classes were taking place.
