A last day of school with thousand emotions that was experienced on the last race week of the year: despite the great cold and the high humidity, the Easykart paddock was the protagonist of the Winter Trophy, the last act of the 2024 season - which began on 17/18 February with the collective tests and concluded on the first of December with the Winter Trophy.

An edition that saw the participation of 31 more drivers than last year with 18 new participants who had not competed in any race of the Easykart Trophy and the International Grand Final.

Zorzi was the fastest from qualifying to the Final among the Under 10s, while Francesco De Luise was second, Lola Mukhammadiyev finished in third place.

Easykart 60 Academy: the young driver protagonists in Cremona too
Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, the Academy's baby drivers were protagonists in the paddock, with the briefing held by Instructor Sabino De Castro and with the test sessions on the track. At the end of the weekend, they climbed onto the podium in Cremona together with the drivers of the other categories.

The curtain falls on the 2024 Easykart season, eleven months of practices, qualifying sessions, races and emotions experienced all together. A record season, not only thanks to the number of participants, but thanks to also everything that enriched the mere competition on track. Starting from how we told the entire season: in addition to the classic news on the easykart.it website and the confirmation of the Easybook, the management of social media has been strengthened with the creation of new multimedia content such as reels and tiktoks to follow the trends of the moment. Our reality has been told from another perspective with The Pass – Track Talks, the presence on TV with Go-TV has been confirmed and for the first time there was the participation of a “kart influencer”, Davide Cugini. We also experienced more moments together, thanks to major events such as the Ap-Easy, the party at the International Finals and the awards ceremony held on November 22nd in Lissone (which will be broadcast on channel 68 and in live streaming on the website www.go-tv.org on Sunday December 8th at 8 pm).

A season that was a record-breaking one thanks to all of you, protagonists of our great family: the drivers, who with their races made us excited, each member of all the teams, all the relatives, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends and all those who in various ways made this year unforgettable.

The winter break is about to approach, but we will see each other again soon at the racetracks for new adventures and emotions to experience and to tell.

That's all for the track action this year. Stay racing, stay happy... and think Easy!
