The single round of the FIA ​​Karting World Championship and the FIA ​​Karting World Cup has concluded at the PF International Kart Track (United Kingdom), which has decreed the winners, not only of the event, but also of the respective championships.

OK: Jeff-Hall wins in a surprise finish

Tyres: Maxxis

  • An incredible ending to the OK final. After leading for the entire race, Turney made a mistake on the last lap, costing him the victory. Ethan Jeff-Hall (CRG – CRG – IAME) took advantage, passing Turney and winning both the race and the title.  
  • Despite the error, Joe Turney (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) finished second, narrowly missing out on the win that would have earned him a double FIA Karting title after the European Championship. A real disappointment for the English driver, who dominated the weekend in dry conditions with pole position, victories in all heats, and in his Super Heat.  
  • Matthew Higgins (Energy Corse – Energy – IAME) finished third in his debut in the category. Behind him was Jimmy Helias (VictoryLane – KR – IAME) in fourth, followed by Fionn Mclaughlin (VDK Racing – KR – IAME), who initially finished fifth but was penalized five seconds after the race for incorrect positioning of the front spoiler, dropping him to sixth place. Dmitry Matveev (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) benefited from the penalty, moving from sixth at the finish to fifth in the final standings.  
  • Zac Drummond (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart) and Harley Keeble (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) finished seventh and eighth, respectively, both making up 17 positions from the start.  
    Rounding out the top 10 were Joseph Smith (VictoryLane – KR – IAME) in ninth and Guillaume Bouzar (VictoryLane – KR – IAME) in tenth, after starting from 32nd position.

OKJ: Craigie wins with a heart-stopping finish

Tyres: Maxxis

  • After an emotional final, it was Kenzo Craigie (Prema Racing – KR – IAME) who claimed victory. After making up a significant gap to the previous leader, Baglin, the two engaged in a battle that ended with a contact on the final corner of the last lap. Noah Baglin (Prema Racing – KR – IAME) came off worse, forced to retire, while Craigie took the title.  
  • The silver medal went to James Anagnostiadis (Prema Racing – KR – IAME), who finished third on track but gained a position due to a 10-second penalty imposed on Belofsky after the race. Niklas Schaufler (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) completed the podium in third, having been a key player in the early stages. After an initial duel with Baglin, a contact with Belofsky dropped him down the order. Unfortunately, he was disqualified after the race, excluding him from both the podium and the event.  
  • Rocco Coronel (VictoryLane – KR – IAME) finished third on track, followed by Kit Belofsky (Fusion Motorsport – KR – IAME) in fourth. Fifth place went to Zac Green (Jamie Green Racing – KR – IAME), with Lev Krutoholov (Energy Corse – Energy – IAME) finishing sixth after climbing 19 positions from the start. Seventh place went to Scott Marsh (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex).  
  • Rounding out the top 10 were Arjen Kraeling (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) in eighth, Sebastian Minns (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM Kart) in ninth after starting from 30th place, and Iskender Zülfikari (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart) in tenth.
