Camplese wins a KZ Super Heat full of twists and turns

29° in the sun in Val Vibrata on Sunday morning for the Super Heat of the European KZ Championship. Lorenzo Camplese (Tony Kart/Vortex) led the first lap ahead of Lorenzo Travisanutto (Parolin/TM) and Pedro Hiltbrand (Birel ART/TM), who immediately went on the attack for P2. Viktor Gustafsson (CRG/TM) was 4th, Paolo Ippolito (KR/Iame) 5th and Senna van Walstijn (Sodi/TM) 6th. Emilien Denner (Sodi/TM) visited the edge of the track and ended up last. Travisanutto was back in 2nd place 8 tenths behind Camplese, with van Walstijn back in 5th. Shortly before the halfway point, van Walstijn collided with Gustafsson, surprised by the Swede’s relatively slow exit from the bend. The Dutchman ended up 10th. Meanwhile, Danilo Albanese (KR/Iame) was back in the game in 8th place ahead of Stan Pex (KR/Iame). Camplese won after a solid race against Travisanutto and Hiltbrand. Gustafsson took 4th place ahead of Paolo Ippoplito (KR/Iame) and Giuseppe Palomba (Sodi/TM). David Trefilov (Maranello/TM) finished 7th, followed by Albanese and van Walstijn.
