Bluestar 11 x Kart World Champion teams ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐
The 20th edition of the Kart World Championship organised at the great track of Vandel Gokart in Denmark has concluded in spectaculair fashion, with our Jules winning a chaotic finale ๐ฅ and Eliano taking 3rd place on the overall podium ๐ฅ๐
Five of our drivers travelled to Vandel to compete against 155 drivers from 17 different countries, including many of the best in the world of rental karting. Eliano continued his great form of the last months by being one of the main contenders all week long. Following 3 heat wins and 7 out of 8 podiums in the heats, he was also very strong in the match races on the final day. Due to a 2nd place in both the semi final and final, he managed to score his second consecutive overall KWC podium ๐ฅ๐
Jules was quite unlucky in the first three days of the competition but still managed to score a podium in 6 out of his 8 heats, including 2 wins in rainy conditions on day 4. Jules continued his winning streak on an incredible final day, by winning both his semi final and the big final! This resulted in an amazing comeback in the ranking to a very strong 4th place overall ๐
Tomek was in the top of the rankings all week long, being one of the favorites after winning already three big tournaments earlier this year! With 4 heat wins and 7 podiums he still had a shot at the title but the final day didn't go as planned as a small pitstop mistake in the semi final cost him the semi win, followed by an eventful final where he was pushed off the track already in lap 1. Despite, Tomek can be proud of his performance with a 6th place overall and finishing as vice champion in the Junior championship for the 2nd year in a row ๐ฅ๐
Ruben started his 17th Kart World Championship and once more delivered a very strong championship, scoring 6 podiums in his heats inlcuding his record 54th KWC race win. After another podium in his semi final race, he went into his 17th final. After a difficult final, Ruben was one of the two drivers receiving a post race penalty for going through the pitlane, whilst more than half of the field entered the pit after the race was supposed to end but no chequered flag was waved. This dropped him from 4th to 15th place (being in 13th place before the chaotic last laps), with a 13th place in the overall standings.
Levi delivered very consistent performances with 5 podiums in the heats, which was surprisingly not even enough to make the final this year due to the point system used, ending up in 22nd place. After winning the Junior title last year, he once more showed his talent and had an important contribution in the team championship!
After previous titles in 2009 ๐ง๐ท, 2010 ๐บ๐ธ, 2011 ๐ง๐ช, 2012 ๐ฉ๐ช, 2013 ๐ฉ๐ฐ, 2015 & 2016 ๐ฎ๐น, 2017 ๐ช๐ธ, 2023 ๐ง๐ช and 2025 ๐ฉ๐ช, we are incredibly proud to win the team championship for the 11th time this year by a large margin! We would like to congratulate our competitors Talent Factory and Neo Levelap for finishing 2nd and 3rd!
