Several good Finals at the tenth edition of the WSK Champions Cup that opened WSK season 2023.

WSK Promotion’s events got off to a spectacular start to the 2023 season with the tenth edition of the WSK Champions Cup, the first race of the year held at South Garda Karting in Lonato. A decidedly positive start to the international karting season, both for the important participation, with over 320 drivers from 51 countries, and for the high level of sporting and technical competition.
Starting with the traditional categories MINI, OKJ, OK, and KZ2, the 2023 edition of the WSK Champions Cup also saw the entry of the two single-make categories: X30 Junior and Senior. Among the innovations was also the splitting of the smallest category, MINI, which due to the great success of participants was divided by age groups, from 8 to 10 years and from 10 to 12 years.
After the qualifying heats and the Prefinals, the highly anticipated Finals were won by Cristian Bertuca (KZ2), David Walther (OK), Lewis Wherrell (OKJ), Iskender Zulfikari (MINI Gr3 sub judice), Oleksandr Legenkyi (MINI Gr.3 Under 10), Riccardo Ferrari (X30 Junior) and Brando Pozzi (X30 Senior).
The drivers to the fore in the Prefinals.
The Prefinals held on Saturday had these winners:
MINI Gr.3: Prefinal-A was won by the Chinese Zeyu Shen (AV Racing/Parolin-TM-Vega), Prefinal-B by the Brit Noah Baglin (IKart/KR-Iame-Vega);
MINI Gr.3 Under 10: Prefinal-A went to Ukraine’s Oleksandr Legenkyi (Team Driver/KR-Iame-Vega), Prefinal-B to the Pole Antoni Ociepa (Gold Kart/Righetti Ridolfi-Iame-Vega).
OK-Junior: Prefinal-A went Lewis Wherrel’s ways (Forza Racing/Exprit-TM-Vega), Prefinal-B to the Ukrainian Oleksandr Bondarev (KR Motorsport/KR-Iame-Vega);

The winners of the Prefinals held on Sunday morning:
X30 Junior: the Prefinal was won by Angola’s Lorenzo Campos (Team Driver/Tony Kart-Iame-Vega);
X30 Senior: Prefinal-A to the Italian Brando Pozzi (M2 Racing/Tony Kart-Iame-MG), Prefinal-B to the Brit Luca Griggs (Falcon/Falcon-Iame-MG);
KZ2: Prefinal-A was won by the British driver Freddie Slater (BirelArt Racing/BirelArt-TM-Vega), Prefinal-B by the Frenchman Adrien Renaudin (DR/DR-Modena Engines-Vega);
OK: Prefinal-A went to Dmitry Matveev (KR Motorsport/KR-Iame-LeCont), Prefinal-B to the Dane David Walter (Koski Motorsport/Tony Kart-Vortex-LeCont).
The next round: February1-5, the opening round of the WSK Super Master Series, also at the South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato.
