MINI Gr.3: William Calleja wins the duel against Cristian Blandino
Tires: Vega
- The Cremona circuit still brings luck to William Calleja (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – IAME). One year after the last round of the 2023 WSK Super Master Series, the Australian returns to the top step of the podium, thanks above all to an overtaking in the final laps on Cristian Blandino (Kalì Kart Racing Team – TGroup – TM Kart). Now the Babyrace Driver Academy rider is first in the championship.
- After two consecutive first places, Blandino's winning streak came to an end, as he was not fully satisfied with second place. Bruno Priam (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), who started from pole position, is also not happy with his third place, although it is his first podium in the category.
- The fight for the text placed in the final stages of the race was exciting: behind Priam finished Daniel Miron Lorente (Team Driver Racing Kart – KR – IAME), fourth, Alessandro Truchot (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – IAME), fifth, and Gioele Girardello (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), sixth.
- Big steps forward in the ranking for Nikita Botte (Novalux – Lenzokart – LKE), from 27th to seventh, Santiagio Diaz de la Vega (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), from 21st to eighth, and for Albert Tamm (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), from 24th to ninth. Daniil Kutskov (Team Driver Racing Kart – KR – IAME) placed tenth.
- Unlucky race for Antoni Ociepa (Novalux – Lenzokart – LKE), who started third and was forced to retire in the initial stages.
MINI Gr.3 U10: Lucas Palacio flies towards his first success
Tires: Vega
- Thanks to an error-free final test focused entirely on the attack, Lucas Palacio (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) achieved his first career victory in the MINI Gr.3 U10 category. The American is good at navigating the initial brawl, after which he gains a good margin which allows him to control and finish the race ahead of everyone.
- First podium for Blazej Kostrzewa (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – IAME), author of second place. The Pole battles with Carl Nellegard (Ward Racing – Tony Kart – TM Kart). The latter, due to a contact with the Pole, ends up off the track on the last lap and is forced to retire.
- Dominator of the weekend, David Moscardi (Birel Art Racing – Birel Art – TM Kart) took home a positive third place. Rocco Simone (Fusion Motorsport – KR – IAME) gained 6 positions and finished fourth, ahead of Jason Kosmopoulos (CRG Racing Team – TGroup – TM Kart), fifth.
- 7 positions gained both for John Han (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – IAME), sixth, and for Alexander Parakram Lazarus (Team Driver Racing Kart – KR – IAME), seventh. Remarkable comebacks for Antonio Ianni (Gamoto – EKS – TM Kart), from 27th to eighth, and for Edoardo Colucci (CMT – Parolin – IAME), from 31st to ninth.
- Mason Robertson (Babyrace Driver Academy – Parolin – IAME) completes the Top 10, tenth. Worth highlighting are the 23 positions recovered by Pedro Campos (Kalì Kart – TGroup – TM Kart), 13th. Niccolò Perico (Energy Corse – Energy Corse – TM Kart), who started second, retired due to a contact at the first corner.
