The South Garda Karting Circuit in Lonato is about to stage the FIA World Karting KZ Championship next September 20th-22nd. This big event will include also the International Super Cup with the strongest KZ2 drivers in the world and the young talents of the Academy Trophy that will battle out their closing and decisive round of the season. The event in Lonato will also be enriched by the Historic Super Cup FIA Karting open to the fascinating historic karts, among which some rare 50s karts.

All is set in Lonato for this important world event after the success of the last year’s KZ and KZ2 FIA Karting European Championship. This time around the World Championship will stop at the South Garda Karting circuit on September 22nd as the Italian circuit will stage again this important event that was last hosted in Lonato in 1996. This is a good reward for the quality of the renewed circuit and the high level of its organization. Several logistic novelties have been added for this round, like the installation of several screens to check the times in the pre-grid zone, a bigger press room, and several other changes to improve the welcoming of drivers and staff.

A total of 261 drivers will make it to the track for this very important International Karting event: 48 entered in KZ, 126 (capped number) in KZ2, 51 in Academy Trophy and 36 in the Historic Super Cup 36. This is the highest number for the KZ World Championship and International Super Cup KZ2 for the past 9 editions, that is from 2011 when both KZ and KZ2 were present in the same world event valid as World Championship or World Cup.
