OKJ
On the Circuito Internazionale Napoli, the DJT engine once again steps onto the podium of the Junior class thanks to the Finnish driver Tuukka Taponen (Tony Kart Racing Team), third after being one of the protagonists of the whole weekend. He finally gains three victories in the Qualifying Heats and one in Prefinal, besides the best lap, among the drivers powered by Vortex in the Qualifying practices. In total, in the decisive race Vortex places five engines in the first ten positions thanks to the fifth position obtained by Freddie Slater (Ricky Flynn Motorsport), who gains a victory, a second and two third places in the Qualifying Heats, to the seventh position of Alexander Gubenko (Kosmic Kart Racing Department) and the good positions achieved by Coskun Irfan and Dion Gowda (both Ricky Flynn Motorsport).

KZ2
The shifter class is giving us again great satisfaction, with Simo Puhakka (Tony Kart Racing Team) reaching the top position in the rating thanks to a victory and a second place ending the final close to the podium. The Finn centres also a best lap and gains a second position in Prefinal. With the RTZ and RSZ engines, Lorenzo Camplese (SC Performance) is brilliantly standing out too, crossing the finish line seventh after the eighth position obtained in Prefinal.

OK
The DST engines show all their speed in this first round of Euro Series too, where Joseph Turney (Tony Kart Racing Team) is the best of the group of drivers equipped with Vortex at the end of the Qualifying Heats. With a victory and two second places, the Englishman precedes Luigi Coluccio (Kosmic Kart Racing Department) who will be then seventh in Final, a race the English driver, instead, is not taking part in due to an unlucky brawl he is involved in when he was second in Prefinal. In top-10 at the end of the decisive race, we also find the Dutchman Thomas Ten Brinke (Ricky Flynn Motorsport), ninth after recovering 4 positions. With Vortex, finally, Kajus Siksnelis (Exprit Racing Team), at his first complete season in the category, is the author of an excellent qualifying ended in tenth position.

MINI
In Sarno, our MXC engine proves to be extremely performant right at the start pushing James Egozi (Tony Kart Racing Team) towards his first Pole of the category. The American gains also a victory in the Qualifying Heats while his teammate Jimmy Helias is the author of a second, a thirdposition and a best lap. Kai Sorensen (Tony Kart Racing Team), finally, reaches the top-ten in Final.
