Even though it’s August, the 2026 karting season is slowly coming to an end. Drivers, focusing on the 2026 season, are already starting to prepare for the 2027 season. 14-year-old Julia Angelard has had several successful test days, but this does not mean that the current season is fading into oblivion – after the phenomenal from Julia’s perspective round in Poznań Circuit, the Polish Karting Championship returns this weekend. This time, the entire field of competitors will be present at the Autodrom Słomczyn from August 7th to 9th. The goal remains the same – to collect as many points as possible and win the championship title in the 2026 season. The runner-up Julia Angelard, representing during the Polish rounds MG Racing Team colours, admits that the victory in Poznań gave her a boost.

Another chance to add some valuable points

As with the Bydgoszcz or Poznań rounds, it’s crucial to perform the best possible run in the qualifying session and then avoid any potential mishaps in the individual races. According to the rules of the Polish Karting Championship, the qualifying session determines the grid for the first race, while the starting positions for subsequent races are determined by the results of the previous heats. A mistake by a competitor or their rival can therefore impact the entire weekend’s results.

After two of the four rounds this season, Julia Angelard currently sits second in the overall OK Junior standings. Only her teammate from MG Racing Team, who has a 63-point lead, is ahead of her. However, ORLEN Motorsport Academy driver admits, that she doesn’t intend to give up easily.

Julia Angelard: I want to fight for the championship title

“The victory at the Poznań Circuit showed me that with the right approach, a good strategy, and determination, if the pace allows, the title of Polish Karting Champion is within my reach. Of course, I want to fight for the title – like everyone else on the track. The gap to the leader isn’t small, but anything is still possible, and I’m not about to give up easily,” emphasizes the Minardi Management powered by Dag Ltd. protégé.
