On the occasion of the fourth round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series, the Racer 401 RR sets the fastest time in the qualifying sessions of the OK category, with Luigi Coluccio. Our kart also hits the podium in the final, still in the Senior category.

Convincing performances for our Tony Kart Racing Team in Cremona (Italy), hosting the fourth round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series 2023, in view of the final round of the FIA Karting European Championship. On track, as usual, the Tony Kart Racer 401 RR chassis equipped with VTS (OK) and VTJ (OKJ) engines by Vortex, the "engine division" of OTK Kart Group.

In OK, our Luigi Coluccio is among the main protagonists of the penultimate round of the championship. The Italian driver opens the weekend with a pole position in the qualifying heats, thanks to the best time of 47.533 recorded in the second qualifying group, and continues with a perfect series of five victories out of five heats. After finishing second in Sunday morning's Super Heat, Coluccio jumps from the first position in the final and immediately starts his battles with his rivals. At the end of the 25 scheduled laps, our driver finishes the race at the foot of the podium, behind another Tony Kart Racer 401 RR. The positive performance of our technical package is confirmed by Sebastiano Pavan: author of two victories and three podiums during the qualifying heats, as well as of a third place in Super Heat A, the Italian secures the third position on the starting grid of the final and finishes the race behind his teammate Coluccio.
Debut with our official colours for Aleksandar Bogunovic, who immediately shows off with the best time in Saturday morning's warm-up and a third place as best result in the qualifying heats. However, the Slovenian driver is unintentionally involved in an accident in the first few corners of the final and unfortunately has to raise the white flag. Jan Przyrowski also performs a solid run in the eliminatory heats - including a fourth place - and reaches the final, but the Polish driver too is forced to stop due to a collision after a few laps. Zoe Florescu Potolea, on the other hand, closes the Italian round with a comeback of not less than 13 positions in Super Heat A.

In OKJ, Scott Kin Lindblom is our best representative. The Swedish driver collects a second place in the qualifying heats and comes close to the Top 5 in Super Heat A, however he is unlucky in Sunday afternoon's final: in fact, after a few corners, he soon has to stop his run, because of an accident in which his teammates Kirill Dzitiev and Alp Hasan Aksoy are also involved.
Davide Bottaro, author of a third place as his best result in the eliminatory heats, takes charge of the situation and climbs a total of 12 positions; this way, the Italian hits the final Top 15. A good performance also for Maria Germano Neto: the Portuguese driver achieves a fourth place in Qualifying Heat E-F and a seventh place in Super Heat A, but retires on the warm-up lap of the final.

The Tony Kart Racing Team will be still on track on the occasion of the 4th and final round of the FIA Karting European Championship in Cremona (July 27 – 30), reserved to OK and OKJ categories.
