OK CATEGORY REPORT

The final in the OK category has a twist on the first lap: Hannes Janker (TB Racing - KR - Parilla) is out of the race together with Lorenzo Travisanutto (KR Motorsport - KR - Parilla), Mattia Michelotto (KR Motorsport - KR - Parilla), Ayrton Fontecha (CRG - CRG - TM Racing) and Roman Stanek (Kosmic Racing Departement - Kosmic - Vortex).

The German driver, fighting for the title, will still manage to win the championship, also because his most direct opponent, Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG - CRG - TM Racing), never really competitive this weekend, will also retire.

The final, therefore, is a confirmation of what has been seen in the heats, with Dexter Patterson (KR Motorsport - KR - Parilla) who wins followed by Harry Thompson (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - FA Kart - Vortex) and Nicklas Nielsen (KSM Schimacher Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex).

Nielsen had to defend himself in different moments of the final, from the attacks of Kas Haverkort (Zanardi Racing Team - CRG - TM Racing), before, and Luigi Coluccio (Birel Art Racing - Birel Art - TM Racing), after.

In fourth place he managed to finish at the end Coluccio, followed by Zane Maloney (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - FA Kart - Vortex), Callum Bradshaw (CRG - CRG - TM Racing), Hugo Sasse (TB Racing - KR - Parilla), Rasmus Joutsimies ( Ward Racing - Tony Kart - Vortex), Jorge Pescador (Praga Racing Team - Praga kart - TM Racing) and Tijmen Van Der Helm (KSM Schimacher Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex), who closed the top 10 after a comeback of 14 positions.

In the final the red flag is immediately exposed on the first lap due to an incident in non-top positions.

At the restart, Kay Askey (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - FA Kart - Vortex) started badly from the second position, lost positions and closed 13th.

Nikita Bedrin (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex), starting from pole, holds the lead for only one lap and is overtaken by Victor Bernier (VDK Racing - Kosmic - Parilla). Behind them there are the two contenders for the title, Gabriele Minì (Parolin Racing Kart - Parolin - Parilla) and Paul Aron (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - FA Kart - Vortex). The Estonian driver, however, makes a mistake and loses positions, finishing eighth. He is able to manage a recovery to the 5th position, enough for the victory of the title.

Minì, in fact, takes advantage of the incident that sees Alex Dunne (Forza Racing - Exprit - TM Racing) ramming Bedrin and comes back to the first position he holds until the end of the race. A fantastic victory, however, that is not enough to win the championship.

Second place unde the checkered flag for Bernier followed Gabriel Bortoleto (CRG - CRG - TM Racing), very good at defending the third step of the podium from the pursuers' attacks in the final.

Followed by Zak O'Sullivan (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - FA Kart - Vortex), Aron, Kirill Smal (Ward Racing - Tony Kart - Vortex), Isack Hadjar (Racing Force - Exprit - TM Racing), Thomas Ten Brinke (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - FA Kart - Vortex), Enzo Trulli (CRG - CRG - TM Racing), Dino Beganovich (Ward Racing - Tony Kart - Vortex).

Beautiful comebacks for Small (6th with 13 positions recovered) and Trulli (9th with 11 positions recovered).
