  • Following a successful car racing debut in the Ginetta Junior Winter Series, Julia Angelard is returning to karting competition.
  • In just a few days, the teenage member of the ORLEN Motorsport Academy will compete in the FIA Karting World Championship.
  • Among the 92 drivers competing for the title in the Junior category, Julia Angelard will be one of only three representing Poland in her age group and one of just two female drivers on the grid.

Julia Angelard is preparing for her most important challenge of the year on the international karting stage. The young Polish driver, who has been training under the guidance of top professionals and gaining valuable experience both at home and abroad, will compete in the prestigious FIA Karting World Championship in the Junior category in just a few days.

Originally scheduled to take place in Bahrain, the championship has been relocated due to the armed conflict and will instead be held at the well-known Kartodromo La Conca circuit in Muro Leccese, Italy. The track is renowned for its technically demanding layout and fiercely competitive racing, where every thousandth of a second counts and perfect coordination between equipment, driver and team strategy is essential.

An intense season and invaluable experience lay the foundations for success

The 2026 season has been a period of remarkable development for Julia Angelard. The young Polish driver has competed in numerous demanding European and national championships, including continental competitions and prestigious junior racing series, consistently demonstrating impressive pace and a determined racing spirit. Moreover, in recent months, she has broadened her motorsport experience by testing and familiarising herself with racing cars in preparation for next season, including a successful debut in the Ginetta Junior series.

The experience gained in changing track conditions and through intense battles against the world’s leading young drivers means that Julia Angelard approaches the World Championship fully focused and ready to take on the best competitors of her generation from around the globe.

Julia Angelard: I will give it my all

Following such an intense year filled with numerous racing appearances, the upcoming FIA Karting World Championship provides a fitting conclusion to the Polish driver’s season. Nevertheless, Julia approaches the race weekend with a clear head, plenty of optimism and unwavering determination.

“The World Championship is the highlight of every karting season. I know the La Conca circuit and understand just how unique and challenging racing there can be, which I hope will work to my advantage right from the first practice sessions. I’m ready to race wheel-to-wheel against the best drivers in the world. I would like to thank the ORLEN Motorsport Academy and the Polish Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (PZM) for their support throughout this season. I will give it my all to proudly represent Poland and the Academy as one of just three drivers from my country competing in my category. I only hope the weather will be kind to us, because conditions at this circuit play a major role, and the forecasts suggest that the weather could have a significant impact on the results,” says Julia Angelard.

The road to the World Championship title

The FIA Karting World Championship at La Conca brings together the absolute elite of international karting in the Junior category. The race weekend schedule includes official free practice sessions followed by the crucial qualifying session on Friday, during which the drivers will be divided into three groups. The entire field will then be split into eight groups for the qualifying heats. These will be followed by Sunday’s Super Heats, contested in three groups, and the Final, featuring the 28 best drivers, which will determine the new FIA Karting World Champion.
