Two victories and a second place are the results achieved by Niklas Schaufler (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) during today's qualifying heats. The Austrian therefore moves to the top of the intermediate classification, after the excellent second place achieved yesterday in qualifying.
Two Italians are Schaufler's main pursuers: Iacopo Martinese (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) collects two victories and a fastest lap, but a sixth place ranks him second in the general; instead, Filippo Sala (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM) wins a heat, records a best lap and gains third position.
David Cosma Cristofor (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME), author of a victory, recovers 6 positions between qualifying and qualifying heat. The Romanian is fourth, ahead of Christian Costoya (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM), twice in the Top 3 and also capable of setting a fast lap.
Notable climbs for Elliot Kaczynski (Ward Racing – Tony Kart – Vortex) and Roman Kamyab (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM): the Swede gains 19 positions and is sixth, while the Briton recovers 17 and places seventh. A retirement in the second heat, however, forces Oliver Kinnmark (Koski Motorsport – Tony Kart – IAME) to drop to eighth place.
+7 positions in the standings for both Freddie Lloyd (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM), ninth, and for Xiaoyo Sun (Ward Racing – Tony Kart – Vortex), tenth. Lewis Wherrell (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM) does not start the second heat and now finds himself 11th.
After two dull qualifications, Taym Saleh (Sauber Academy – KR – IAME) and Scott Kin Lindblom (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex) are approaching the Top 10. The German goes from 27th to 12th, while the Swede is 13th despite a retirement in the first heat.
Jack Iliffe (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM), the fastest in Friday's timed trials, wasted the opportunity and crashed to 16th. Dries Van Langendonck (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM), new OKJ world champion, collects a retirement and slips to 26th.
