OKJ: Christian Costoya returns to savor the taste of victory

Tires: Vega

  • Since his debut in OKJ at the end of 2022, Christian Costoya (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart) had not yet scored a victory; indeed, he and he had finished first under the checkered flag, only to be penalized post-race. This time the Spaniard's moment has finally arrived, author of a perfect performance and good at responding to the attacks of Niklas Schaufler (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) and Dean Hoogendoorn (AKM Motorsport – KR – IAME).
  • Schaufler, among the fastest of the weekend, was unfortunately involved in an accident caused by a huge fight for the podium. Instead, Hoogendoorn remains in Costoya's wake, however he is unable to worry the Spaniard: it is still an excellent result for him, his first podium in OKJ.
  • Jack Iliffe (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart) duels in the final laps with Rocco Coronel (VictoryLane Karting – KR – IAME) and snatches the lowest step of the podium from the Dutchman, who receives a 5-second penalty in the post-race for the front nose in an incorrect position. Returning to the American, it is also his first podium in OKJ.
  • Dries Van Langendonck (Forza Racing – Exprit – TM Kart) suffers a rear-end collision at the start of the morning's pre-final B and loses several positions in the standings. The world champion goes wild in the final and, with a comeback of 12 positions, takes fourth place.
  • Bosco Arias Chavarri (DPK Racing – KR – IAME) obtained a positive fifth position, ahead of Henry Domain (Energy Corse – Energy Corse – TM Kart), sixth, and Filippo Sala (Ricky Flynn Motorsport – LN – TM Kart), seventh. Friday's polesitter Lev Krutogolov (Borsch Racing – Tony Kart – IAME) is eighth, after retiring in prefinal B due to a braking error.
  • Nice comeback of 16 positions for Qarrar Firhand (Parolin Motorsport – Parolin – TM Kart), ninth. Oliver Kinnmark (Koski Motorsport – Tony Kart – TM Kart) also did well, from 23rd to tenth. Iacopo Martinese (KR Motorsport – KR – IAME) did not go beyond 12th place. Scott Kin Lindblom (Tony Kart Racing Team – Tony Kart – Vortex), involved in Van Langendonck's accident in the prefinal, classified 24th.

The Italian, always at the top of the standings over the weekend, is unable to excel over the Romanian, who is increasingly leading the championship.
  • Ludovico Mazzola (Stefano Mazzola – Exprit – Vortex) shows an excellent pace in the final and wins his first podium in the category, with 5 positions gained compared to the start. Pietro Bagutti (Gamoto – Tony Kart – TM Kart) closed in fourth position, ahead of Gioele Carrer (Scarpi Racing – Parolin – IAME), fifth, and Alex Molota (Firefly Racing Team – Gillard – TM Kart), sixth.
