Comment from Glenn Keyaert, KR Global Motorsport Company
“KR Motorsport, along with the teams using the KR-IAME packages, carried out significant development work to adapt as best as possible to the demanding Mülsen circuit, which most of our drivers were experiencing for the first time in an official competition. We stuck to our game plan and can be satisfied with the result achieved, particularly in OK. Noah Baglin managed to navigate the pitfalls and checkpoints to secure a magnificent victory, whilst James Anagnostiadis put in a solid performance in Germany. In OK-Junior, two KR-IAME power units started the final lap in the top two positions, but the outcome did not go our way. We hope there will be fewer incidents at the FIA Karting European Championship.”
