  • What a race that of Dries Van Langendonck (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart)! After a perfect start from pole position, he managed to pull away from his pursuers right from the start. From mid-race onwards, the situation seems to reverse with Kamyab and Pohjola giving the impression of being able to worry the Forza Racing driver. But it is precisely in these circumstances that the champion's making is seen: on the penultimate lap Van Langendonck defends himself from Pohjola's only real attack, which is not decisive enough and allows the leader to complete his race undisturbed. Van Langendonck concludes this Round 3 at the top of the championship with a 73 point advantage over Martinese, now second in the general classification, putting a considerable risk on the final title.
  • Second place for Roman Kamyab (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM Kart), who with Joel Pohjola (Tony Kart Racing Team – OTK – Vortex), third, attempted a comeback to first position. In the final, the two managed to reach Van Langendonck, but were unable to beat him. For Kamyab, this result also means a leap forward in the championship ranking, which after the Slovakian round sees him in 3rd place. While Pohjola sets the best lap and shows the best pace in the race, as well as excellent fairplay when he gives the position back to Kamyab after a contact on the last lap.
  • Fourth place for Iacopo Martinese (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME). Scott Marsh (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex) follows him in fifth.
  • 8 positions recovered and final sixth place for William Calleja (Parolin Motorsport – ParolinK – TM), followed by Arjen Kraeling (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME), seventh. Eighth place instead for Bosco Arias (DPK Racing – KR – IAME), fourth at the finish line, but then set back by a penalty.
  • Only ninth was Niklas Schaufler (DPK Racing – KR – IAME), from whom a different result given the second place at the start, but which sees the highlight of your race. The fights, in fact, make him climb 7 positions, allowing him to finish the weekend ahead of Henry Domain (Energy Corse – Energy – TM Kart), tenth.
  • Two of the main protagonists of the category are outside the top 10: Filippo Sala (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM Kart), poleman on Friday, climbs up to 14th place, losing 11 positions relative to the start. Still 11 positions, but in this case earned, for Christian Costoya (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), who finishes 15th one weekend complicated since qualifying (he started 72nd). The Slovak appointment cost the driver Parolin house a notable step back in the championship standings, where it goes from 2nd to 4th.
