Genk, September 8, 2018. This weekend Francesco Celenta is one of the protagonists of the KZ World Championship that is being held in Genk alone in Belgium, but his concentration in the Belgian stage does not make him forget the front of the Italian ACI Karting Championship , where in Castelletto di Branduzzo on 23 September the fifth and final round will be played the title Tricolore della KZ2 together with Giuseppe Palomba and Giacomo Pollini. Celenta, a rider from Salerno in the race with Prague, has already won the Italian title in 2016, but his goal is to regain possession of the Tricolore. "At Castelletto," said Celenta, "it will be like playing another World Cup. We will play it in three, and it will be like starting from scratch after the races of La Conca, Sarno, Lonato and Val Vibrata. If we look carefully at the rankings, considering the two obligatory discards, Palomba has to discard 15 from its 143 points, while I reject only 5, or we are equal to 128 points. Pollini from its 130 points it discards 4 and goes down to 126. In short, that of Castelletto will be an appointment where we will start all three on a par, maybe I have an advantage in case of ex-aequo for my two victories in Race 1 in Lonato and Val Vibrata. At Castelletto I hope to leave the track with the Italian title. "

Giuseppe Palomba and Giacomo Pollini are also racing in Genk for the CIK-FIA International Super Cup in KZ2, which represents the KZ2 World Championship, and they too have the next round of the ACI Karting Italian Championship in Castelletto. Giuseppe Palomba, 17-year-old Neapolitan driver, is in force at Intrepid and is on the rise, so much so that he climbed the Italian Championship standings up to the peak after the victory in Race 2 at Val Vibrata. "At Castelletto we have a very difficult race - said Palomba - and I think it's very important to win Race 1 because of the high score that gives the first final, then in Race 2 we'll see what the possibilities will be. Certainly I foresee a good battle. I really want to win the Italian Championship, it's an important goal that crowns the goal we set ourselves with my father and my grandfather, whom I thank together with Intrepid and Viti Racing for the preparation of TM engines. "

Giacomo Pollini, a Brescian driver in the Formula K race, was one of the fastest ever again this year. With the start of the Italian Championship he immediately managed to conquer the top of the standings and keep it in the first three races of the season, only to lose it after the fourth round at Val Vibrata. "Considering the two worst results to be discarded - said Pollini - I have a disadvantage of only two points from Palomba and Celenta, but if I had not had technical problems in Val Vibrata, I would still be at the top of the standings. In the last race after the rather unfortunate heats, in the two finals I went very strong, but a penalty led me back in the standings, so much so that my discards concern the two results of the two Val Vibrata finals. In Castelletto for me the goal is to win, or at least stand in front of my two biggest opponents. Technically now I'm fine, even here in Genk in the Super Cup of KZ2 I made the best time in practice in my Series. For Castelletto I am very confident. "
