In Genk, the FIA Karting circus puts a final full stop to the most uncertain edition of the European Championship yet. The closure, and turning of the page, on the first part of the calendar represents a victory for the entire movement and a gratifying moment for the promoter and the FIA for having achieved the set goal: to protect the stage of the international event from the risk of contagion which would have meant further consequences, such suspending an already battered season. Although the anti-Covid regulations, such as the tight deadlines to present the outcome of the Covid-19 test, now necessary for FIA competitions, did demotivate several teams, who chose to desert the Belgian stage, putting the success of the event at risk, in the end, the show did go on, albeit with fewer participants than expected. Regardless of the absences, especially in the premier class, the “dirty dozen” was there, that is the championship’s top protagonists and the eligible candidates to conquer the title, well-characterized the last appointment and gave life to a heated battle, not at all obvious, and a final outcome that few had predicted on the eve.
