The protagonists in Essay.

The new KZ season starts with a challenge between the two 2016 Champions: Flavio Camponeschi (CRG-Parilla-Vega) and Joel Johansson (Righetti-Ridolfi-TM-Vega), the reigning European Champions of the KZ and KZ2 categories. This time they will both fight against each other  in KZ. They will find 27 entrants to deal with and, among them, big names such as Marco Ardigò (Tony Kart-Vortex), Ben Hanley (Croc-TM) and Jeremy Iglesias (Sodi Kart-TM), just to name the top drivers of the 2015 European Championship. Many drivers are racing for new teams, which is going to make the race in Essay even more unpredictable. Among the 58 entrants in KZ2 it is worth mentioning Luca Corberi, Paolo Besancenez and Alexander Schmitz (all on Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega), together with Marijn Kremers (BirelArt-Parilla) and Stan Pex (CRG-Vortex): they were all in the top ten drivers of the 2015 European Championship. Finally, the Academy Trophy confirms the success achieved in its previous editions thanks to the 51 entrants taking part in the race: the drivers – coming from 40 different countries – are all eager to do their best.
