The second round of WSK Euro Series is on at the Adria Karting Raceway with an important and high-quality presence of 220 drivers out of the entered 240 in the four categories MINI, OKJ, OK and KZ2 after the opener in Lonato. The main constructors, teams and most competitive drivers on the international scene are present in representation of 48 different countries spread all over the world. Some interesting debuts and some category changes happened, like the debut of the enfant prodige Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the highly competitive shifter category KZ2 ahead of his forthcoming debut in the Italian F.4 Championship powered by Abarth.
