KZ2 Final: sensational French triple for Sodi and victory for Denner

After a good Drivers Presentation during which the 34 finalists received their medals, the wait in the sun ended with the grid formation on the track. David Vidales (Tony Kart / Vortex) shared the front row with Senna Van Walstijn (KR / Iame). Jean Nomblot (Sodi / TM) tried to outflank Van Walstijn and they made contact. The Dutchman remained in the gravel trap, but the Frenchman continued.

Giuseppe Palomba (Croc Promotions / TM) took the lead from Vidales, Emilien Denner (Sodi / TM) followed in 3rd position. Riccardo Longhi (Birel ART / TM) took 4th place ahead of Nomblot and Paolo Besancenez (Sodi / TM), while Emil Skaras (Energy / TM) was 8th. Nomblot and Besancenez were back in the top five.

Vidales was progressively building a small gap, while Denner and Nomblot climbed 2nd and 3rd ahead of Palomba. Longhi was 6th behind Besancenez while Palomba fell to 6th ahead of Giacomo Pollini (Formula K / TM) and Skaras. The Frenchman continued to fight for 2nd place. Denner detached himself from the group and headed for the leader, while Longhi had infiltrated between Besancenez and Nomblot, but he responded. Denner and Besancenez then clashed to attack Vidales who gained a little space.

Besancenez tried to overtake the leader on the straight and went into the dust while Denner took over. He passed Vidales outside the hairpin, then Besancenez and Nomblot attacked the former leader who was 6th. Longhi took the opportunity to return to 4th in front of Palomba and Pollini. Denner was followed by Besancenez and Nomblot for a rare French triple. Martijn Van Leeuwen (KR / Iame) finished 7th ahead of Skaras, the new European Champion, and Vidales who had lost everything in two laps.

Skaras was the Champion, ahead of Denner and Besancenez, with Palomba 4th and Longhi 5th in front of Vidales.
