Younger, but no less brave! Lowering the age in the Junior and Senior categories of non-gearbox karts has changed the landscape in many competitions. The 14-year-old drivers (in the year) rushed to the higher categories, sometimes jostling their elders without ceremony. The goal of the CIK-FIA has in particular been reached in OK where the entries in the upcoming European Championship are particularly numerous: a 100% increase has been recorded at European level. The OK-Junior category remains stable, but a massive renewal of competitors has modified the hierarchy. The same phenomenon is visible, to a lesser degree, in the various brand cups as well as in the national championships which are about to begin.
