Sarno on Sunday: the last KZ2 heats

Early on Sunday morning, the sun was already warming the Neapolitan atmosphere, not that it was needed. The starting grid returned to its original position, the problem of grip having disappeared under the combined action of weather and heat.

E-F: Paavo Tonteri (Tony Kart / Vortex) immediately took the lead over David Vidales (Tony Kart / Vortex). Alessio Piccini (Tony Kart / Vortex) went on the attack for 2nd place while Paolo Besancenez (Sodi / TM) remained 4th. Natalia Balbo (Formula K / TM) dropped to the back of the pack. Piccini took possession of 1st place at the expense of Tonteri, while Besancenez overtook Vidales to take 3rd position. Max Tubben (CRG / TM) was 5th.

C-D: Senna Van Walstijn (KR / TM) led the race ahead of Valentino Fritsch (Birel ART / TM). Orenzo Giannoni (Sodi / TM) remained stuck on the grid and started last, and Pierre Loubère (Birel ART / TM) lost seven places. Riccardo Longhi (Birel ART / TM) started another comeback and took 3rd ahead of Artem Kosarev (Croc Promotions / TM) before overtaking Fritsch and finishing 2nd in front of Martijn Van Leeuwen (KR / Iame). Tom Leuillet (Praga / Iame) came back to 4th, then Leonardo Marseglia (Birel ART / TM) passed him. Despite an attempt, Longhi was unable to dislodge Van Walstijn from 1st place, Van Leeuwen finished 3rd, Marseglia 4th and Simone Cunati (CRG / TM) returned to 5th in front of Leuillet.

A-B: Paul Evrard (Kosmic / Vortex) and Emilien Denner (Sodi / TM) attacked Giacomo Pollini (Formula K / TM) on the second lap, while Giuseppe Palomba (Croc Promotions / TM) led comfortably.  Jean Nomblot (Sodi / TM) then passed for 4th followed by Emil Skaras (Energy / TM) while Hubert Petit (Sodi / TM) was back in 14th position. Nomblot then passed his team-mate Denner for 3rd place. While Palomba won another victory, Evrard suffered a crash on the penultimate lap. Nomblot was 2nd ahead of Denner and Skaras, with Alexander Dahlberg (Birel ART / TM) finishing 5th.

The classification of the heats, before its official confirmation, showed Vidales as the leader ahead of Van Walstijn, with Palomba 3rd, Nomblot 4th, Denner 5th, Longhi 6th, Besancenez 7th and Pollini 8th.
