Sodikart accounts for the highest number of registrations and it is immediately followed by Tony Kart, while Birel logically dominates in KZ2, where the first 6 of the 2008 Championship are ready to battle.

In KF2, top drivers of the 2008 season, like Kenny Vermeylen, Guillaume Barbarin, Loïc Réguillon, Sébastien Bailly, Olivier Tilkin, Dane Smith and Clément Bluy, have already registred. Naturally, there is a higher turnover among the Juniors in KF3. As for the best drivers, mention can be made of Jonathan Hélias, Tanguy Carel, Henry Easthope, Adrien Leidinger and Carlos Gil.

Drivers who have decided to wait until the very last minute to register (a widespread habit in karting) have still some time left. Anyway, one thing is for certain: those who will not be at the Angerville GPO will definitely regret it…
