- The final of the OKJ category sees two absolute protagonists: Niklas Schaufler (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) and Dries Van Langendonck (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart). The two dueled relentlessly right from the start, with the Austrian in the lead and the Belgian immediately behind him. The world champion tries in every way to overtake the race leader, but the latter keeps a cool head and obtains his second victory of the year.
- “Between the two litigants, the third enjoys”: this is how the race of Christian Costoya (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart) can be summed up, starting from 12th place due to retirement in the pre-final on Sunday morning and capable of outwitting the Italians Iacopo Martinese (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) and Filippo Sala (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM Kart), fourth and fifth respectively under the checkered flag.
- Arjen Kraeling (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) closed an excellent weekend in sixth position. Positive performance also for Lev Krutogolov (Bosch Racing – Tony Kart – IAME), seventh, and for Henry Domain (Energy Corse – Energy Corse – TM Kart), eighth.
- Despite starting from the front row, Sebastian Lehtimaki (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex) lost several positions at the start and was unable to go beyond the ninth final place. Ethan Lennon (Beyond Racing Team – LN – IAME) did well, tenth with 7 positions gained, and Endo Arada (Ward Racing – Tony Kart – Vortex), from 20th to 11th.
- Joel Pohjola (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex) follows in the standings, 12th, and Scott Kin Lindblom (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex), 13th.
- A contact puts Rocco Coronel (VictoryLane – KR – IAME), author of a solid weekend at the top of the rankings until the final, and Scott Marsh (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex) out of the race.

- He had reached the podium of the WSK Champions Cup last week, but was not satisfied with the result. This time, however, Bogdan Cosma Cristofor (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart) showed off a dazzling smile at the end of the final, won without particular difficulties after a weekend always spent at the top.
- Heart-pounding final laps for second place between Sara Matsui (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME), Valerio Viapiana (Team Driver Racing Kart – KR – IAME) and Archie Lovatt (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart). Initially the Japanese girl is in front, but is overtaken by both the British and the Italian. The latter two, however, come into contact and put the KR Motorsport girl back into play.
- At the finish line, Lovatt finished ahead of Matsui and Viapiana. However, the Briton received a 3-second penalty for the front nose in the incorrect position and thus slipped off the podium, more precisely eighth. Matsui and Viapiana are promoted to second and third place respectively.
- Kacper Rajpold (MG Racing Team – Tony Kart – TM Kart) classified fourth, ahead of Pietro Bagutti (Gamoto – Tony Kart – TM Kart), fifth, Ludovico Mazzola (Stefano Mazzola – Exprit – Vortex), sixth, and Alex Molota ( Firefly Racing Team – Gillard – TM Kart), seventh.
- Kais Aziza (Gamoto – Tony Kart – TM Kart), ninth, and Gioele Carrer (Scarpi Racing – Parolin -IAME), tenth, complete the Top 10.
