The Portuguese driver\u2019s goal for this year is to secure the category\u2019s most important title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right after the final round of the WSK Super Master Series this past weekend in Viterbo, where he bid farewell to the Mini Gr. 3 with the runner-up title, the young Portuguese driver stayed on track for two days of testing, already behind the wheel of the official DR OK-N-Junior. The results were encouraging, as Xavier L\u00e1zaro proved to be within the benchmark times set by the fastest drivers in the category at Viterbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being in what would have been his final full season in Mini Gr. 3, the possibility of Xavier L\u00e1zaro moving up to OK-N-Junior after the conclusion of the WSK Super Master Series had been on the table since the beginning of the year. His excellent performances at the start of the season ultimately confirmed that this is the right moment for the young driver from V\u00e1rzea de Sintra to take the leap toward new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2025XLNewsOKNJ2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In OK-N-Junior, Xavier L\u00e1zaro will have his main goal set on competing in the FIA Karting World Cup, which will take place from September 25 to 28 at the Cremona Circuit. For this event, he has an ambitious target\u2014aiming for victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this project, the 11-year-old driver will be part of DR\u2019s official structure, with Modena Engines as his engine supplier. On the track, Xavier L\u00e1zaro will serve as a representative of this engine brand, which will compete in the FIA Karting World Cup in Cremona against well-established names such as Iame and TM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of his race calendar for the rest of the season, besides the FIA Karting World Cup, Xavier L\u00e1zaro maintains the goals he had originally set when planning for 2025 in Mini Gr. 3. In OK-N-Junior, he will compete in the ACI Sport Italian Karting Championship, the WSK Euro Series, and the WSK Final Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos: <strong>Vasco L\u00e1zaro<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xavier L\u00e1zaro vai subir \u00e0 OK-N-J\u00fanior para correr o FIA Karting World Cup da categoria, a disputar em It\u00e1lia no Circuito de Cremona nos dias 25 a 28 de setembro.
