KF2
Three IAME drivers qualified. Alexandre Baron (Parilla) was 3rd in qualifying after having won one heat, and then finished 5th overall following two fifth places in race 1 & 2. Adrian Del Rio (PCR/ Parilla), Russel Danzey (Parilla) also qualified.

KF3
Seven IAME drivers qualified with 4 Parilla engines in the top 10. Seannan Fielding (Parilla) dominated: in fact he was 1st from qualifying to race 2. Jake Dennis (Top Kart/Parilla) made a come back following a hard qualifying, and was 4th overall (6th and 4th in the races), while Roy Johnson (Tony Kart/Parilla) was 3rd in qualifying, 2nd in race 1 and 5th overall. Pierre Gasly (Sodi/Parilla) was 6th in race 2 and 9th overall. Leo Roussler (Sodi/ Parilla), Samuel Cucala (PCR/Parilla) and Shaw Bradley (RK/Parilla) also qualified

Central Region, Wackersdorf (D)

KF2
Five IAME drivers qualified. The best in the standings (5th) was Simone Favaro (Formula K/Parilla) who, following bad qualifying (28th), came back in race 1 (6th) and race 2 (7th). Followed by Stefano Cucco (Birel/Parilla), 7th overall (but 3rd in race 1). Luca Ghiotto (Zanardi/Parilla), Kevin Susilo (DR/Parilla) and Antonio Giovinazzi (Top Kart/Parilla) also qualified.

KF3
There are many Parillas at the front in qualifying: the IAME engines are healthy. Nicklas Nielsen (DR/Parilla) is one of the protagonists. He finishes 1st twice (in qualifying and in a heat) and he is 4th overall after the heats. In the pre-final he is 6th, but in the final, due to several contacts, he only finishes 22nd. Valentin Moineault (DR/Parilla) is in the limelight after recording the fastest time in one of the heats and above all, Jake Dennis (Top Kart/Parilla) who following his ups and downs in the heats (where he still “records” a best lap) makes a recovery in pre-final and final (where once again records the best lap), moving up from 17th to 4th place.

Northern Region, THY (DK)

KF2
Three IAME drivers qualified. Sami Luka (DR/Parilla) was in the limelight with 5th place overall thanks to a 4th place in qualifying and a 3rd in race 2. With him in Genk will be Juha Mäki-Jouppi (Alpha/Parilla) and Sebastien Bailly (Sodi/Parilla) who, after winning a heat, retired in race 2.

KF3
