  • He demonstrated disarming confidence last weekend on the occasion of the wsk Champions Cup, and Cristian Bertuca (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Racing) confirms it again today. The Italian driver wins the first round of the WSK Super Master Series with maturity and coolness and is a candidate to be one of the main protagonists of the season.

  • With a better starting point than Bertuca at the start, Emilien Denner (Sodikart – Sodikart – TM Racing) immediately takes the reins of the race, but then gives way to the Italian poleman. The Frenchman tries in the final laps to attempt the coup, however he concludes second.

  • Four-man final sprint for the lowest step of the podium. This rewards David Trefilov (Maranello SRP Factory Team – Maranello – TM Racing), able to finish ahead of Jeremy Iglesias (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Racing), fourth, by just 20 hundredths of a second, while Pedro Hiltbrand (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Racing) finishes ahead of Daniel Vasile (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Racing) by just 9 thousandths of a second; however, the Spaniard receives a 5-second penalty for the front nose in the incorrect position and climbs to tenth position, while the Romanian passes fifth.

  • He seemed to have the necessary pace to at least aim for the podium, instead Giuseppe Palomba (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Racing) finished sixth. Extraordinary comeback of 16 positions by Stan Pex (SP Motorsport – KR – TM Racing), seventh classified.

  • Four positions gained both for the reigning KZ world champion Viktor Gustavsson (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Racing), eighth, and for Freddie Slater (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Racing), ninth, even if the Briton sinks even 20° in the early stages due to some mistakes.

  • Victorious in prefinal B, Alessio Piccini (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Racing) concludes the final “only” 11th, ahead of Paavo Tonteri (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Racing), 12th, Corentin Rousseau (Maranello SRP Factory Team – Maranello – TM Racing), 13th, to Andrea Dalé (Andrea Dalé – CRG – TM Racing), 14th, and to the FIA Karting World Cup KZ2 champion Arthur Carbonnel (CRG Racing Team – CRG – TM Racing ),  raised from 33° to 15°.

  • The reigning KZ2 European champion Tom Leuillet (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex) is 16th due to the nose down and the related 5 second penalty. No luck also for Noah Milell (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex), who collapsed last on the first lap and 23rd under the checkered flag.

  • Worse was Moritz Ebner (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Racing), Alex Maragliano (Maranello SRP Factory Team – Maranello – TM Racing) and Matteo Zanchi (Zanchi Motorsport – CRG – TM Racing), both retired.
