Today the rain did not appear on track and the drivers were able to run under dry conditions for most of the day, which did not cause many surprises on track.

KZ2: Luyet set for prefinal pole position

The shifter class only had two manches today, in the first one, Benjamin Tornqvist (CRG/TM Racing/Bridg) took the lead starting from sixth place. But the Swede driver was unable to keep the position as he was overtaken by Matteo Zanchi (GP/TM Racing/Bridg) who yesterday won manche 1.

But Zanchi was unable to repeat the result as well when he was overtaken by Jean Luyet (CRG/TM Racing/Bridg) who finally took the victory.

In Manche 2, Luyet dominated and controlled the race ahead of Jean Nomblot (Sodikart/TM Racing/Bridg) and Tornqvist. Behind them, Douglas Lundberg (Luxor/TM Racing/Bridg) showed an amazing comeback of 10 positions to finish in fourth place.

Therefore, Jean Luyet will start tomorrow from pole position ahead of Jean Nomblot, Matteo Zanchi and Benjamin Tornqvist.

OK: Travisanutto is 100% back

In the OK class we saw once again the Lorenzo Travisanutto (Tony Kart/Vortex/Bridg) that we are used to see. The Italian dominated heat A-C by almost 7 seconds of gap over compatriot Danny Carenini (Tony Kart/Vortex/Bridg).

Then Travisanutto’s teammate in Tony Kart, Josep Turney (Tony Kart/Vortex/Bridg) continued Tony Kart top performance as he beat the Russian talent Kirill Smal (Tony Kart/Vortex/Bridg) in heat B-D where Dilano Van T’Hoff (Exprit/TM Racing/Bridg) was disqualified due to cutting the track.

Despite that, Van T’Hoff was able to fight back during heat B-C as he overtook Turney to keep the lead for the whole race to win in front of Smal, Turney and Pedro Hiltbrand (Tony Kart/Vortex/Bridg).

Finally, Travisanutto again won another heat (A-D), after a big battle with his former teammate, Taylor Barnard (KR/Iame/Bridg).

Tony Kart will have two drivers in pole position tomorrow for the prefinal’s as Travisnautto will start first in prefinal A, while Turney will do the same in prefinal B.

Something similar happened in heat C-D, with Josep Maria Martí unable to keep the first place at turn 1, with Hugo Sasse (Parolin/TM Racing/Bridg) taking the lead and commanding the race until the checker-flag.

OKJ: Antonelli untouchable yet again

And if in OK it was Travisanutto on a dominant stint, Andrea Kimi AntonellI (KR/Iame/Vega) did the same in heat A-E for the OKJ class. The Italian did the same once again in heat D-E. But in heat B-E the Rosberg Racing Academy driver had to fight a little bit more as Ugo Ugochukwu (FA Kart/Vortex/Vega) was able to follow his pace.

Similarly, Robert De Haan (Energy/TM Racing/Vega) dominated in heat C-D thanks to the big battle for the second place during the early laps, which ended up for William Siverholm (Tony Kart/Vortex/Vega).

In heat A-B the battle for the victory was wide open with six cars in the lead group. Conrad Laursen (FA Kart/Vortex/Vega) was leading at the beginning of the race, the Dane was looking strong until he was overtaken by Martinius Stenshorne (KR/Iame/Vega).

This caused a very big battle for the lead, Arvid Lindblad (KR/Iame/Vega) also reacted to that and took the lead in the final laps but it was Tymoteusz Kucharczyk (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega) who finally took the victory.

Also, a big battle for the victory happened in heat A-C. Nikita Bedrin (Tony Kart/Vortex/Vega) was leading in the first half of the race, while the second half was De Haan who took the lead. But a crazy last lap battle helped Bedrin to hit the checker-flag first, ahead of Alessandro Cenedese (KR/Iame/Vega) and Robert De Haan.

Bedrin was unable to repeat the victory in heat A-D as he was beaten by Stenshorne, while De Haan won heat B-C leading from lights-to-flag against Lindblad.

After all the qualifying heats, Antonelli will start from pole position at the prefinal A, while De Haan will do the same in prefinal B.

Mini: Matveev leads Russian attack in Adria

The day started with a very interesting one versus one battle between Rashid Al Dhaheri (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega) and Louis Iglesias (IPK/TM Racing/Vega). Al Dhaheri finally won heat A-C and he repeated the victory in heat A-E.

Another one on one battle was the one lived in heat B-E between the Dane August Therbo (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega) and Kirill Kutskov (Energy/TM Racing/Vega), that ended up with Therbo victory.

In heat D-F, Dimitry Matveev (Energy/TM Racing/Vega) dominated the race by a big margin. The Russian continued his victory stint in heat A-D wining against Oleksander Bondarev (Tony Kart/Vortex/Vega), the same happened in heat D-E but this time Anatoly Khavalkin (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega) was the rival.

Gerasim Skulanov (IPK/TM Racing/Vega) continued his good performance after his podium achieved in Castelleto last week, but the Russian lost the victory of heat B-F against his compatriot Maksimilian Popov (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega) in the last lap. But Skulanov was able to redeem himself as he later on won heat A-F.

Heat C-E was a one to watch, this one was featured by two drivers who gain more than ten positions, Jan Przyrowski (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega) and Lucas Fluxà (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega). Przyrowski won the heat while Fluxà finished fourth.

The other heat victories went to Kirill Kutskov (Energy/TM Racing/Vega) -heat B-C, Yuampu Cui (Tony Kart/TM Racing/Vega) – heat C-F and Enzo Tarnvanichkul (Parolin/TM Racing/Vega) – heat B-D.

Tomorrow, the two Energy’s of Matveev and Kutskov will start on pole position for the prefinals.
