DE MARCO HAS THE UPPER HAND IN KZ2

Beautiful and hard-fought races, with final results far from obvious. As happened in KZ2, the most crowded category, with 40 drivers at the start.

Cozzaglio finished second, always in the wake of De Marco, while Michele Fontana finished in third position, also the author of an excellent race on CKR-TM Racing, who got on the podium after the disqualification for underweight inflicted on Christoph Hold on Maranello-TM Racing. Marco Tormen (Praga-TM Racing) and Fabrizio Rosati (Maranello-TM Racing) also involved in an accident.

After the second half in practice, Lammers won everything: heats, Prefinal and Final.

However, Lorenzo Leopardi's response on Parolin-TM Racing arrived in the Final, who from the last position for not being able to start the Prefinal, quickly got back to the first position to go and win with more than 3 seconds of advantage on Sofia Povazhnala and on Angelo Stuppia (Parolin-LKE).
