While 2017 started just a couple of weeks ago, Baby Race already started their preparations for the upcoming karting season at their Italian headquarters near Brescia. The team, led by Sandro Lorandi, will kick-off their 2017 assault at the WSK Championship Cup scheduled from January 26th to 29th at Adria. Baby Race will run in four classes (60 Mini, OK Junior, OK and KZ), sporting many new additions.
The smallest displacement class will feature six drivers: Rashid Al Dhaheri, Brando Badoer (the son of former F.1 racer Luca Badoer), Nikita Bedrin, Alessandro Cenedese, Ruslan Fomin and, for the first time with Baby Race, Nikita Johnson.
Five drivers will join the OK Junior category. Making their debut in the series from the Baby Race Mini roster, Paul Aron, Luca Bosco and Nicolò Cuman will join new additions Aleksey Brizhan and Andrea Rosso.
Marzio Moretti and Edoardo Morricone will be up for a class change as they ran with Baby Race in OKJ in 2016. The two young Italians will move up to the OK category at Adria. Last but not least, Baby Race will field brothers Alessio and Leonardo Lorandi in the KZ class as they train in kart racing before the start of their 2017 single seaters season.
