  • First victory of the season for Andrea Kimi Antonelli (KR Motorsport - KR - IAME) in the WSK Super Master Series. The Italian driver is back in excellent shape on the Sarno circuit: he starts perfectly from pole position, immediately runs away from his pursuers and manages, in the final, the attempt of a comeback by Rafael Camara (KR Motorsport - KR - IAME). The Brazilian finishes 2nd but is penalized by 3 seconds and drops to 4th place; however he remains the leader of the standings.

  • Tuukka Taponen (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex) hits the first podium of the season in the WSK Super Master Series after an excellent performance throughout the weekend. In the final laps the Finn places the decisive overtaking on Artem Severiukhin (Ward Racing - Tony Kart - Vortex), initially 2nd before surrendering to Camara and then to Taponen. With the Brazilian penalty, Taponen is promoted 2nd and Severiukhin is 3rd.

  • Igor Cepil (KR Motorsport - KR - IAME) is the best of the climbers of the final that he finished in the top ten. The Czech driver starts from 15th place and makes his way when the traffic lights go out, to finish in 5th place. Behind Cepil we find a substantial quartet of DPK Racing: in order, Lukas Malek (DPK Racing - KR - IAME), 6th; Nikola Tsolov (DPK Racing - KR - IAME), 7th; Rafael Modonese (DPK Racing - KR - IAME), 8th; Emerson Fittipaldi (DPK Racing - KR - IAME), 9th.

  • A weekend in crescendo for Alfio Spina (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex), 10th with four positions recovered compared to the starting one. The Italian driver precedes his teammate Joseph Turney (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex) at the finish line, the latter penalized by an accident in the pre-final that forces him to start from 18th place. Spina receive after the race a penalty and Turney take the 10th place.

  • Many excellent names are missing access to the final: first of all Arvid Lindblad (KR Motorsport - KR - IAME), in pole position after Friday's qualifying, touched by Turney on the first lap of pre-final B and forced to retire. Involved in the accident, among others, were Norton Andreasson (Ward Racing - Tony Kart - Vortex) and Edoardo Ludovico Villa (TBKART Racing Team - TBKART - TM Racing). The final is also missing Ugo Ugochukwu (KR Motorsport - KR - IAME), hit by Andrey Zhivnov (Team Komarov - Tony Kart - TM Racing) three laps from the conclusion of pre-final A.

  • Tymoteusz Kucharczyk (Birel Art Racing - RK - TM Racing) does not shine in the final: he loses seven positions from the starting grid and ends in 14th place. Luigi Coluccio (Kosmic Racing Department - Kosmic - Vortex) stands out as the best climber of the final: from 31st to 15th.
