They represent 43 nations and four continents, and hopefully all of them will have the opportunity to travel to Spain for the occasion, as international travel is still subject to some restrictions depending on country of origin.

The Kart Grand Prix of France, organised from 2nd to 5th August at Aunay les Bois / Essay will award the titles of FIA Karting European Champion - OK and FIA Karting European Champion - Junior after the four Competitions of the 2018 season. Hannes Janker (DEU) appears as the favourite in the OK category, while Paul Aron (EST) is in a strong position in OK-Junior. However, several Drivers are still able to challenge for the two Championships where the verdict will only be known after the finish line of the Finals.
