In the beautiful Gothic setting of Palazzo Re Enzo in Bologna this time it was not just any exhibition (or a tortellini festival) that took center stage, but the most anticipated ceremonial event of the year for us kart lovers: the FIA Karting Prize Giving 2022.

The recent full haul of the English team at the Rotax Finals, a race that - especially in the RMCGFF - rewards the driver with equal means, once again underlines the quality of the British karting nursery. A country where the Rotax movement is highly developed, but which in recent years has expressed a large number of talents who have landed in FIA competitions and, several of them, in the coveted goal of Formula 1: Lando Norris and George Russell to name a few couple, in a long list that dates back to the times when Mike Wilson and Terry Fullerton monopolized the international karting scene

VROOM AWARDS
AND THE WINNER IS... Matheus Morgatto
As in any self-respecting competition, it was a fierce battle even in this fourth edition of the Vroom Awards promoted by Vroom to award the driver most voted via the web. The Brazilian World Champion was finally recognized also by the web movement as the Number 1 of the 2022 racing season. But as in 2021, the winners of the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals in Portimao are confirmed among the most voted by placing as many as 3 drivers in the top 5 positions
