Debuts and paybacks: the drivers in Genk.
The reigning World Champion, the Italian Paolo De Conto (CRG-TM-Bridgestone), is the current leader of the KZ category after the season-opener. The Czech Patrik Hajek (Kosmic-Vortex) and the Dutch drivers Stan Pex (CRG-TM) and Bas Lammers (Sodi-TM), all in close pursuit of the leader, are eager to attack the frontrunner, while the 2016 European Champion, the Italian Marco Ardigò (Tony Kart-Vortex), is looking forward to his comeback, after he didn’t took the start in the first round. In KZ2, two Italians, Matteo Viganò (Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone) and Alex Irlando (Sodi-TM) were two protagonists of the 2016 season and now they are going to challenge each other again, after finishing last year’s Championship in the top positions. Finally, the Academy Trophy: the Exprit-Vortex-Bridgestone one-make series will give its winner the opportunity to take part in the OK Junior World Championship in Brandon (GB), for an official OTK team.
