KZ: Spectacular victory for Giuseppe Palomba and Sodikart
Tyres: Dunlop
- “When two fight, the third enjoys”: this Italian proverb sums up the final of the premier category of single-speed karts. Pedro Hiltbrand (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart) overtakes the leader Senna Van Walstijn (Sodikart – Sodikart – TM Kart) halfway through the race, but the Dutchman tries to counterattack after a few corners. However, Giuseppe Palomba (Sodikart – Sodikart – TM Kart) outwits them both and takes the lead.
- In the following laps, Palomba increases his advantage over Van Walstijn and, with great merit, becomes the new KZ world champion. His teammate finishes second, while Hiltbrand finishes third.
- David Trefilov (Maranello SRP Factory Team – Maranello – TM Kart) finishes just off the podium, ahead of Arthur Carbonnel (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Kart), fifth. Jorge Pescador (Club Kalìkart – Kalì Kart – TM Kart) is an excellent sixth.
- Also in the top-10 are Stan Pex (SP Motorsport – KR – TM Kart), seventh, Lorenzo Travisanutto (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), eighth, Danilo Albanese (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME), ninth, and Paolo Ippolito (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME), tenth.
- Marijn Kremers (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex), 11th, precedes Emilien Denner, 12th and author of the fastest lap. Too bad for Jeremy Iglesias (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Kart) and Viktor Gustafsson (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Kart), both retired.
KZ2: Cristian Bertuca contains Matheus Morgatto and wins the title
Tyres: Dunlop
- Fantastic masterpiece by Cristian Bertuca (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart), always at the top of the standings starting from Friday’s qualifying. The Italian starts well when the lights go out and, at the restart after the red flag for Daniel Vasile’s (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart) accident, gains a good margin over Matheus Morgatto (CL Racing Team – Birel Art – TM Kart).
- The Brazilian manages to close the gap, but Bertuca – with extreme coolness – leaves him no chance of overtaking. The Birel Art Racing ace precedes the CL Racing Team driver by 0.238 seconds.
- Paavo Tonteri (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Kart) arrives in the slipstream of the first two classified and climbs onto the lowest step of the podium. Author of the fastest lap and some masterful overtaking, Artem Severiukhin (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart) finished fourth.
- Dion Van Werven (CPB Sport – Sodikart – TM Kart) and Jean Nomblot (CPB Sport – Sodikart – TM Kart) were fifth and sixth respectively. Maksim Orlov (Modena Kart – Parolin – TM Kart) was seventh, ahead of Genis Civico Espona (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex), eight, and Anatoly Khavalkin (Modena Kart – Parolin – TM Kart), ninth.
- From 92nd in qualifying, Gabriel Gomez (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Kart) accomplished a real feat by finishing 14th in the final.
KZ2 Masters: Anthony Abbasse dominates the scene
Tyres: Dunlop
- Having won the Champions of the Future Euro Series Shifters two weeks ago, Anthony Abbasse (Sodikart – Sodikart – TM Kart) also wins the FIA Karting International Masters Super Cup. The Frenchman controls Daniel Bray (Modena Kart – Parolin – TM Kart) throughout the race and, in the final laps, gains enough to secure the victory.
- Bray nevertheless takes a positive second place, 0.489 seconds behind Abbasse. Davide Forè (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart), champion of the last edition, climbs to the lowest step of the podium, after starting fifth.
- Kristijan Habulin (TBKart Racing Team – TB Kart – TM Kart) places fourth. A remarkable comeback of 13 positions for Manuel Cozzaglio (Vzeta Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart), fifth, capable of preceding Rasmus Haugard (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME), sixth.
