Fernando Paimre only stepped on the competitive karting scene this year and worked together with KartletiX for faster development for over half a season. The Aero Racing driver dominated the final weekend in Laitse, starting with pole position and a track record in qualifying. Two final victories put him on pole for the Superfinal which he won by 2.7 seconds and a fastest lap of the race. The rising karting star dominated the weekend to secure a podium finish in the overall standings of Estonian Karting Championships. Fernando Paimre will definitely be a name to remember for seasons to come.

Martin Sild made use of his new team and KartletiX coaching lessons in Laitse earlier this season to finish on the podium in DD2 Masters category.

At the same time, Märten Mäemurd in Mini 60, another 2024 rookie, showed great pace and set the 5th fastest lap time in qualifying. Tough racing in the ultra-competitive Mini 60 category brought him up to P5 in the Superfinal after lap 1, but battling dropped him to P8 on the finish line.
