International FIA Karting

With a remarkably faultless day with four wins, Carlos Sainz (Tony Kart / Vortex) was due for a great result, and finished at the top of the intermediate. The Spanish domination in KF3 continued with second place for Mark Megens on an Energy / TM as well as the revelation of a young talent to follow in 3rd: Pedro Hiltbrand (FA Kart / Vortex), a diminutive 12 year old driver starting out on a difficult track.

Jake Dennis (Topkart / Parilla) came back strongly to 4th place after a distant 50th time in qualifying. Mathieu Jaminet (Intrepid / TM) could have done better than 6th even if he had not been torpedoed in the 3rd heat. In 10th, Tanguy Carel was the second French driver who qualified for the finals and the first of the Sodi Boys. John Fillipi (Tony Kart / Vortex) in 14th dominated his teammate Alex Baron who had much to do on Saturday afternoon. Michael Heche (Intrepid / VKR) recovered to 15th after his 52nd and last time in qualifying.

Belmaaziz was 22nd, Deguffroy 27th, Guibbert 30th, and Gasly 32nd to complete the French group of 8 who reached the final. Jo Hélias took an unenviable 35th place, that of the first non-qualifier. Victor Sendin paid for his drop in form after being very fast with his 15th in timed practice.
