Another fantastic week end in Castelletto di Branduzzo, the icing on the cake in a very successful season!
KR sets the level high in OKJ, OK and Mini, winning titles and placing drivers on the podium; again, both Antonelli and Barnard seized the titles for this WSK Open Cup. Another victory also in 60 Mini, with driver Tsolov well managed by our partner Team Driver.
The first round of the WSK Open Cup in Lonato was very successful for Kart Republic! All the drivers driving a KR chassis have been fast and competitive and we had three of them on the highest step of the podium in OKJ, OK and 60 Mini; we also jumped on the KZ podium in 3rd place!
Andrea Kimi Antonelli won sensationally in OKJ, after dominating the week end from qualifying and made a super overtaking move on the very last lap to seize the win! Also, Taylor Barnard in OK completed a fantastic week end with a solid performance and won the final with merit; a truly positive week end for Rosberg Racing Academy!
This week end we had many new drivers joining us in OKJ, like Lindblad, Ho and Stenshorn; they’ve all been competitive and the level has definitely been raised.
Very good news also in 60 Mini, with a well deserved win from Nikola Tsolov with our partner Team Driver.
What a sensational week end we just had in Finland at the World Karting Championship for OK and OKJ! So difficult for everyone, with continuous changes in weather conditions, and our drivers had to face multiple challenges, racing in perfect dry, pouring rain and intermediate conditions. Only the best could succeed, and our drivers proved to be the best; Lorenzo Travisanutto (with our partner CV Performance) won the World Championship with an amazing performance during the final! We’re so delighted to also have Taylor Barnard from Rosberg Racing Academy joining him on the podium in 2nd place, after a fantastic week end and a nice recovery from P6 on the grid!
It’s been a very tough but nice week end also for Antonelli in OKJ, who finished his final in the Top 5.
Another fantastic week end brought us to the conclusion of this 2019 edition of the European Championship, and after 4 rounds Lorenzo Travisanutto made it to seize the title after an intense fight with his opponents!
Big congratulations to Lorenzo and CV Performance for this big achievement!
Kart Republic was also fighting for this Championship with Dexter Patterson, our driver with Sauber Karting Team; the Scotsman also had big chances, after a pretty solid season, but a contact happened in the early stages of the final took him out of the fight. He still made it to get the bronze medal for this Championship.
Awesome news in OKJ as well, with two drivers on the first two steps of the podium! Antonelli won the race in Le Mans with a fantastic performance for Rosberg Racing Academy, and took the second place for the Championship. Also, our driver Alfio Spina finished this last race in 2nd place, scoring a well-deserved podium after a solid week end.
Here’s what the protagonists have to say
Another great story of awesome racing and deserved success for Kart Republic!
Under the lights of Adria our chassis seized the WSK Euro Series title in two classes; another trophy in our showcase!
Andrea Kimi Antonelli was simply unstoppable in OKJ, having scored pole positions and won heats; he dominated the final, and now has already two WSK trophies in his debut season in OKJ.
In OK Lorenzo Travisanutto brought CV Performance to a deserved success! Not an easy week end for him, but he’s been great at managing his position to the end, scoring enough points to win the championship.
KR keeps growing and performing good also in MINI Class, with MacIntyre and Dedecker closing th championship P2 and P3.
Overall, we’ve seen amazing performances from all of our drivers, in all classes!
Kart Republic goes away from a hot week end in Lonato with lots of trophies in the trunk! At this third round of the WSK Euro Series, we witnessed an amazing performance from Dexter Patterson, from Sauber Karting Team; the Scotsman simply was too fast for anybody! He completed a perfect week end, showing his amazing pace in all phases. Also Lorenzo Travisanutto (from CV Performance) confirms his stellar moment, by recovering some positions to finish 2nd and keeping the fight for the title open.
Very good week end also for Barnard (Rosberg Racing Academy), Dufek (Sauber Karting Team) and Patrese, on his first appearance in OK.
OKJ sees the names of Kart Republic and Rosberg Racing Academy at the top, as Antonelli rushed to the lead after scoring a great podium here in Lonato. Good performances also for all our drivers in OKJ, as Dino will tell us.
Amazing performance also in MINI Class, with Dedecker and Macintyre!
Another incredible week end for Kart Republic; third round of the CIK FIA European Championship, third win in a row for our chassis! Travisanutto scored another stunning win in Kristianstad (Sweden), his second consecutive win at the Euro Champ and his fifth overall consecutive win! Congrats to the guys at CV Performance for the amazing job their doing with Lorenzo and with Kart Republic.
Very good performance as well for Patterson (Sauber Karting Team). The Scotsman scored pole position on Friday and lead during the Saturday; he wasn’t lucky in the final, but made it to finish 4th and keep the lead of the Championship.
Unfortunate Sunday for Antonelli (Rosberg Racing Academy), who also scored pole and lead the field on its way to the final, when he struggled for some lack of grip.
Let the protagonists tell us about the week end:
Another week end is over for Kart Republic; another demonstration of solid performances, pace, commitment and team work that pays back, as we scored a stunning 1-2 in OK, with Travisanutto (with CV Performance) and Patterson (with Sauber Karting Team)!
The weather conditions were so difficult this time; rain would come and go, and put our guys under serious pressure during qualifying and during the heats on Saturday. Ultimately, we had 4 Kart Republic chassis in the Top 5 in OK, after amazing recoveries from most of them!
Our OKJ have been a bit less lucky this time, slipping to the back on a wet track.
What great week end for Kart Republic! We witnessed some amazing action on track, and both names of Kart Republic and Rosberg Racing Academy achieved incredible results in OK and OKJ classes; Dexter Patterson and Andrea Kimi Antonelli won the 2019 WSK Super Master Series title!

Another race week end is over, and the WSK Euro Series is now aiming at the next round in Angerville.
Not a perfect racing week end for Kart Republic here in Sarno! Lots of events affected our results, especially in OKJ and OK classes, even though the performance was clearly there: as Dino says, “this is racing!”.
But the team is delighted for scoring its first win in Mini class with William MacIntyre from Team Driver. Things look promising for the future races in this class.
Good signs are also coming from KZ, with our new driver Pex being really fast and consistent throughout the whole competition, despite being unlucky in the final. We will keep working following our path to the European Championship.
Last Friday, we also launched the new project, the “Sauber Karting Team”. We’re really excited to be involved into such high level partnership with a Formula 1 icon.
Let see what the protagonists have to say.
