The young Finnish driver, who trained competitively in the Tony Kart Racing Team, becoming OK world champion in 2021 with their colours, now joins the prestigious Maranello driver academy

The fourth and final round of the 2022 Champions of the Future Euro Series provided a great show and a thrilling finale.

After the appointment of the official drivers for the 2022 season, Sodikart continues to structure its team for the next season and appoints Mansel Smith as team manager. Recent World Champion in 2021 with Noah Milell in KZ and Tuukka Taponen in OK, Mansel will manage the Sodi Racing Team in all international races.

The curtain has come down on the international karting season for the Tony Kart Racing Team, full of successes and memorable sporting results. Above all, the FIA Karting World Championship titles in the KZ and OK classes stand out, thanks to the qualities of their flagship model, the Racer 401, today in the "RR" version.

Tuukka Taponen and Bruno Del Pino, official drivers of the Tony Kart Racing Team in the OK class, are the drivers they suggested to Ferrari Driver Academy who take part in the Scouting Camp organized by the FDA itself in partnership with ACI (Automobile Club d'Italia) with the aim of looking for the most promising young karters.

On Friday 14 May, 174 drivers from 42 countries took part in the Qualifying Practice for the first of the four 2021 FIA Karting European Championship - OK and Junior - events at the Genk circuit (BEL). The changing weather situation played a role in the overall standings, although the track remained dry apart from a short shower in the second timed OK session. Singapore's Askay Bohra took the Junior pole position and the American Ugo Ugochukwu took the top class.

The circuit of Genk (BEL), the "Home of Champions", will launch the FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior from 13th to 16th May 2021. 190 drivers have registered for this grand opening event and the trend towards a younger OK category continues.

The line-up of drivers and the race calendar of the Tony Kart Racing Team have been defined, which will be on track in all the main international events in the 60 Mini, OKJ, OK and KZ/KZ2 classes.

Tony Kart Racing Team closes the first appointment of the WSK Euro Series in Sarno with the podium of Tuukka Taponen in OKJ and an excellent general performance.
