KF2: Camponeschi impresses

Crowned European Champion in KF2 (the class for all young aspirants seeking progression into KF1) at Braga in Portugal at the beginning of August, Flavio Camponeschi (Tony Kart-Vortex) hopes now to also win the KF2 World Cup which also takes place this weekend at Muro Leccese. The Italian is bidding for a perfect weekend. Following 2nd place in yesterday’s timed practice, he won his four qualifying races run so far. If that is completed when the last qualifying race is run on Sunday morning, he will have secured pole position for the pre-final.

Amongst other race winners to catch the eye were the Italian Andrea Dale (two victories in his CRG-Maxter), the Finn Petri Suvanto (Tony Kart-Vortex), British drivers, James Thorpe (Maranello-Maxter) and Oliver Rowland (Tony Kart-Vortex), the Czech Zdenek Groman (Maranello-Parilla), the Italian Felice Tiene (CRG-Maxter) and the Belgian Robin Frijns (Birel-TM).

But it is also necessary to keep an eye on the Frenchman Loic Reguillon (Sodi-Parilla) and the Belgian Sami Luka (CRG-Maxter) who despite not winning a race, have shown good form. In the event of a good performance in the last of the qualifying races on Sunday morning, they could also feature well to the fore on the starting grid for Sunday’s pre-final. In short, in KF2 as in KF1, it’s an intense spectacle !
