Successes and emotions on the final day of the 2024 National Karting Championship.

The final day of the National Karting Championship Rotax Max Challenge took place at the Yokohama La Chutana Kartodrome, where engines roared and adrenaline was palpable with every lap. This major sporting event, which marked the close of the 2024 season, was not only a spectacle for fans but also a crucial moment for young drivers who had worked tirelessly for months to achieve the coveted champion title. In the 390 Sport Peru category, created to attract new talent last year, drivers Vasco Sierlecki and Ignacio Revoredo were crowned as the best of the year. The competition intensified during the final race, where Vasco surpassed his brother Iago Sierlecki and Micaela Castillo, thereby securing the championship in 390 Sport A. Meanwhile, Ignacio Revoredo claimed the title in 390 Sport B, finishing just behind Fernando Núñez, while Ismael Bustos completed the podium for the day. The atmosphere at the Kartodrome was electrifying, with family and friends of the drivers cheering from the stands. The event celebrated not only victories but also the effort and dedication of all participants. The excitement was contagious, and many of the young competitors made it clear that they are ready to continue advancing in their sporting careers. In other categories, brothers Cristóbal and Salvita Ricci took gold in Micro Max and Junior Max, respectively. The Ricci family demonstrated that talent can be passed from one generation to the next, and their success is a clear example of this. Meanwhile, Daniela Oré took home the DD2 Senior trophy after a fierce competition against Carolina Harten, highlighting the quality of drivers participating in this championship. Among the champions of the final day were Iago Llempén (Mini Max), Ethan Thorne (Senior Max), Mario Hart (Master Max), Ignacio Espinoza (DD2 Master), and Bruno Aberasturi (DD2 Super Master). Each of them has shown excellent performance throughout the season, establishing themselves as benchmarks in their respective categories. Karting in Peru has been gaining ground in recent years, and this championship has been fundamental in fostering interest in motorsport among young people. With well-organized events and a competitive atmosphere, it is expected that the next season will attract more talent and continue to promote this sport in the country. In addition to the results on the track, it is important to highlight the teamwork between organizers, teams, and drivers. The passion for karting is felt in every corner of the circuit, and such events create a community that celebrates both victories and the lessons learned from each competition. However, the joy of karting contrasts with other aspects of Peruvian reality. Amid the celebration of champions, news of tragic events and social controversies persist in the national agenda. The recent statement from sports analyst Ortiz Bisso, which calls for a change in the approach to social issues, reflects the complexity of the reality in the country. As Peru prepares to face Colombia in the qualifiers, the tension and fervor for football fill the air. The passion for karting and football are just two sides of the same coin that represent the diversity of interests and talents in the country. It is a moment to reflect on the importance of giving space to all sports disciplines while addressing the social challenges faced by Peruvians today. Thus, the National Karting Championship Rotax Max Challenge has not only left a legacy of champions but also a reminder that sport is a powerful avenue for unity and overcoming challenges in a context where talent and dedication can shine, even amidst adversities.
