The afternoon finals saw the victories of Scott Kin Lindblom (OK), Roman Kamyab (OKJ), Bati Ege Yildirim (OK-N), Antonio Reginaldo Pizzonia Neto (OKN-J), Daniel Miron Lorente (MINI Gr.3) and Mason Robertson (MINI Gr.3 U10).
OK: first victory for Scott Kin Lindblom
Tires: LeCont
- In the third race in OK, Scott Kin Lindblom (Fusion Motorsport – KR – IAME) wins his first victory. One year after his first OKJ seal in Franciacorta, the Swede dominates the entire race weekend, holds Zac Drummond (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart) at bay in the final and passes the checkered flag first.
- Bad luck, in the form of a mechanical problem, struck Drummond with three laps to go and forced him to retire. Andy Consani (Sodikart – Sodikart – TM Kart) took advantage of this to grab the place of honor, while the doors for the podium opened for Kai Rillaerts (Sodikart – Sodikart – TM Kart), third.
- Markas Silkunas (CRG Racing Team – CRG – IAME) finished in fourth place. Ean Eyckmans (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart), fifth, defends himself tooth and nail from Salim Hanna (Prema Racing – KR – IAME), sixth, and from David Cosma Cristofor (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME), seventh.
OK: Roman Kamyab does nothing wrong and wins
Tires: Vega
- A weekend to remember for Roman Kamyab (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM Kart), with his first victory in OKJ. The Briton, first in qualifying and at the end of the qualifying heats, wins his pre-final with authority and leads the final on Sunday afternoon from the start to the finish line.
- An extraordinary racing start for Dries Van Langendonck (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart), from 15th to eighth. The reigning world champion grabbed second place halfway through the race and, despite the fastest lap, was unable to catch Kamyab.
- Filippo Sala (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM Kart) defended himself admirably from Jack Iliffe (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart) and took the lowest step of the podium. Fifth place for Endo Arata (Ward Racing – Tony Kart – TM Kart), sixth for Niklas Schaufler (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) and seventh for Borys Lyzen (Sodikart – Sodikart – TM Kart). With a comeback of ten positions, Bosco Arias Chavarri (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) finishes eighth. Christian Costoya (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart) was further behind, 11th. Dean Hoogendoorn (AKM Motorsport – KR – IAME) retired.

Tires: Vega
- A lightning-fast start and an immediate attack on the first lap on poleman Billy Van Staveren (Modena Kart – Parolin – TM Kart) allowed Antonio Reginaldo Pizzonia Neto (Team Driver Racing Kart – KR – IAME) to triumph under the checkered flag. The Dutch rival finishes second, while Giacomo Giusto (Modena Kart – Parolin – TM Kart) climbs to the lowest step of the podium.

- An absolutely perfect performance for Daniel Miron Lorente (Team Driver Racing Kart – KR – IAME) in the final of the MINI Gr.3. The Spaniard (licensed from the Netherlands) triumphantly crossed the finish line with over two seconds ahead of Leonardo Gorski (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex), second.
- Thanks to an overtaking at the last corner, Oleksandr Legenkyi (Team Driver Racing Kart – KR – IAME) outwitted Alessandro Truchot (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – TM Kart) and took home third place. Julian Frasnelli (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – TM Kart) did well, fifth, followed by Gioele Girardello (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), sixth.

- Nice double by Babyrace Driver Academy, with Mason Robertson (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – IAME) and Lorenzo Di Pietrantonio (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – IAME) first and second respectively in the standings.
