In the X30 Junior the final reserved a series of great duels for the conquest of victory and the other podium positions. To emerge above all was Federico Rossi (# 212 Team Pacitto / Tony Kart), excellent interpreter of the weekend ended with the victory after taking command of the final from the middle of the race, favored by a contact that involved the UAE driver Rashid Al Dhaheri (# 220 Team Ippoliti / Parolin) and Giulio Olivieri (# 275 Righetti Ridolfi) while they were fighting for the first position. Al Dhaheri, after his winning debut in the last Adria race, had to settle for 11th position, while Olivieri, better after the heats, was instead forced to retire. In the other podium positions, Rocco Mazzola (# 207 Autoeuropeo Team / Tony Kart) was determined to keep the second position to the end, as well as the Ukrainian Oleksandr Bondarev (# 237 CKC Racing / Tony Kart) who went to conquer third place at the end of a great comeback. In the final stages of the race Matteo Luvisi (# 206 Newman Motorsport / Tony Kart) and Andrea Frassineti (# 223 BirelArt) managed to enter fourth and fifth respectively. In the championship Rossi has ousted Sebastiano Pavan (forced to retire in Siena) from the leadership and now has 43 points ahead.

In the X30 Senior Danny Carenini (# 315 Autoeuropeo Team / Tony Kart) and Edoardo Ludovico Villa (# 342 Team TBKart / TBKart) marked the difference in this third stage. Success in the Final was played down to the last centimeter, Carenini had the best for 94 thousandths of a second at the finish. Carenini was also the author of the pole position and the best position after the heats, but he has always had the "breath on the neck" of Villa ready to take advantage of every little opportunity. Excellent performance also for Daniele Vezzelli (# 396 LGK Racing Kart / LGK) who finished in third place, as well as excellent was the comeback of Andrea Moretti (# 316 Autoeuropeo Team / Tony Kart) ended on the last lap with a fourth place against Brando Pozzi (# 318 Top Kart). At the top of the standings, Carenini confirmed himself, now with 20 points ahead of Villa.

In the X30 Master it was Marzio Cavini (# 461 Tony Kart) to win the Final thus completing an excellent weekend with his first victory of the season. The Prefinal winner, Gianni Zani (# 442 BirelArt) after a start in the head also in the Final, was forced to the back due to a contact, while Andrea Scanferla (# 403 Modena Kart Service / Tony Kart) who had installed himself at the second place was then penalized by 10 seconds and demoted to ninth place. Alessandro Pandolfi (# 444 GP Racing) inherited the second position of the Final, the third went to Alessio Benedetti (# 478 Tony Kart). The winner of the first round of Jesolo, Danilo Lucchese (# 415 BirelArt), was unable to start in the final due to the damage reported in a crash at the start of the pre-final. Lucchese however is still at the top of the standings but with an advantage now of only 6 points over Scanferla and 9 points over the winner of Adria, Tino Tonadei, absent in Siena.
