Ugento (Lecce), 14 September 2018. In the seventh round of the Italian ACI Karting Championship to hold a bench on the Pista Salentina of Ugento (Lecce) is above all the 60 Mini, which presents a full grid and ready for the last challenge for the award of the Italian title in this category.

The final test of the Tricolore season at Ugento also concerns the OK-Junior and the two Trophies of the Iame X30 and Rok brand. There are just over 60 drivers on the track, thanks to several factors, such as the crowding of national and international races at this time of the year and for many young players in the Championship also the start of the school. A real shame because the Ugento circuit represented a glorious moment of Italian karting at an international level and even today with its 1,380 meters it continues to be considered one of the most beautiful tracks in Italy.

PIETRO DELLI CAMPIONE TRICOLORE GLOVES IN THE SENIOR ROK

Meanwhile, due to the failure to establish the Senior Rok, the final classification in this category becomes final with a final score "frozen" to the previous test of Adria, and the title is assigned to the Pugliese pilot Pietro Delli Guanti (Exprit-Vortex), Vico del Gargano , which boasts 145 points and the highest score thanks to the victories obtained in Siena, Lonato and Adria in Race1 and the placings in the other finals. The second place in the Championship goes to the Polish Maciej Szyszko (Kosmic-Vortex) with 114 points and the third place Polish Kacper Szczurek (Kosmic-Vortex) with 105 points.
