The circuit changed but figures are still as high as in the opening round of the championship in Lonato: 250 drivers already entered the second round to be held in Adria. Championships are still open to all results thanks also to the increased points scoring scheme for the second round.

The Adria Karting Raceway is gearing up ahead of the second round of the WSK Open Cup that is packed after the opening round in Lonato. The provisional entry list already counts 250 drivers for the event that will get underway in the weekend of October 3rd. MINI is already full with 108 drivers!

After the opening round held in Lonato, the standings of all categories – MINI, OKJ, OK and KZ2 – are open to all results due also to the increased points scoring scheme as the winner could get up to 153 points, which is 50% more than in Lonato.
