IWF25 - Triumph in X30 Junior and triple win in X30 Senior

Over the years, more and more drivers and teams have come to realise the effectiveness of the KR chassis in the IAME categories, and the 2025 world event in Spain provided irrefutable proof of this. The X30 Junior category Final ended with a total of nine chassis in the top ten, including the top three places: Max Endacott (BMR), Juste Mulder (VictoryLane) and Alex Martinez Escrihuela (Axion Racing). The same performance was seen in X30 Senior with the victory of Aaron Garcia Lopez (MDC Racing) ahead of Zac Drummond (Fusion Motorsport) and Danny Carenini (Zanchi Motorsport). There were more than 100 drivers in these two categories.

In X30 Mini (88 drivers), Wynn Godschalk (MDC Racing), Achilleas Peruzzi (Fusion Motorsport) and Riley Murro (DK Academy) led the Final, with the latter ultimately finishing 2nd. In X30 Master, Pedro Ivars Agostinelli (Axion Racing) crossed the finish line of the IAME Warriors Final as the winner, before dropping back a place due to a penalty.

Cremona - Another great haul of podiums

There was no lack of performance from KR Motorsport and its satellite teams at the WSK Final Cup in Cremona. In OK, the Qualifying Heats and Super Heats showed that many drivers were capable of winning. As the Final progressed, Zak Drummond (Fusion Motorsport) managed to make the difference and win ahead of another KR-IAME, driven by Oliver Kinnmark (Koski Motorsport). Devin Walz (KR Motorsport) and Mariano Lopez (Fusion Motorsport) also performed well.

In OK-Junior, a collision at the start of the Final at the front of the grid caused Noah Baglin and Dean Hoogendoorn, two drivers from the Prema Racing team, to lose many places. It was a shame, as Baglin set the fastest lap of the race and could have repeated his success at Franciacorta. His team-mate Will Green finished just off the podium in 4th place ahead of Valerio Viapana (Team Driver Racing Kart).

There were many satisfying results in the other categories: victory for Wynn Godschalk (Kidix Driver Performance) in Mini U10, 2nd place for Nicolas Marchesi (Team Driver Racing Kart) in OK-N and 2nd place for Niccolo Perico (Team Driver Racing Kart) in Mini 60 Gr.3. Perico dominated the race but ended up off the track after attempting to overtake another driver. He then impressed with a comeback from 14th to 2nd place, setting the fastest lap of the race. In OK-N Junior, Lucas Palacio (KR Motorsport) started the Final in the lead, led several laps and finished 3rd before dropping back due to a penalty. And in KZ2, James Anagnostiadis (Prema Racing) marked his KZ2 debut with a fastest lap and several top performances.

In the overall WSK Final Cup standings, several drivers will head into the final round in Lonato (21st-23rd November 2025) with excellent chances of clinching the title: Drummond in OK, Baglin in OK-Junior, Marchesi in OK-N, Palacio in OK-N Junior, Perico in Mini 60 Gr.3 and Godschalk in Mini U10.

Commentary from Dino Chiesa, head of KR Global Motorsport Company

"In Cremona, we were not as successful as we were in Franciacorta, despite being competitive in all categories, as the analysis of the event shows. The KR chassis was at the forefront from Qualifying to the Finals, with numerous victories in the heats, Super Heats and Finals, as well as a multitude of fastest laps. In Lonato, we will be motivated and determined to win new titles. I would like to congratulate the drivers and teams who have helped us add to our list of achievements, both at the WSK Final Cup and the IWF."

About KR Global Motorsport Company

At the end of the 2017 season Dino Chiesa officially presented the new Kart Republic entity and its characteristic logo. The yellow, orange and red colours reflect the colours of the Serenissima Republic which, from 697 to 1797, marked the history of the Padua region, home of the KR brand. The wing refers to those of the lion of St. Mark, the symbol of Venice, the capital of the Venetian Republic.

On 1st January, the KR chassis received CIK-FIA homologation. The success was immediate! In the very first season, the German Hannes Janker became European OK Champion in 2018. A few weeks later, the Italian Lorenzo Travisanutto (KR-IAME) became FIA Karting World Champion. The KR chassis quickly became a reference in the most important international events, as well as in many countries around the world. The successes in FIA Karting followed one another. At the 2022 World Championship in Campillos, less than four years after its launch, KR was the most represented brand in the paddock.

Over the years, the Kart Republic factory has continued to develop, launching the Alonso Kart brand in 2020 and relaunching the famous DAP name in early 2023. The various activities of the Italian company are now grouped under the "KR Global Motorsport Company". The head of the company, Dino Chiesa, is one of the most influential figures in the world of karting. The Italian engineer is also one of the best talent scouts in the world of karting. He has helped the rise of drivers such as Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and Nyck De Vries. Many Formula 1 team academies trust him, including those of Mercedes, Red Bull, Alpine and Sauber. The famous Prema Racing team has just announced its entry to the world of karting, in partnership with Kart Republic.
