International WSK

The tension in Super KF gave us a Super Final. A long 38 laps, the race was breathless and full of surprises. The length of the race was tough mechanically even though the pace never slowed.

Starting on pole, Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex) took the lead at the end of the 1st lap ahead of Arnaud Kozlinski (CRG / Maxter) and Gary Catt (Tony Kart / Vortex). Aaro Vainio went off brutally and his race was finished. Zdenek Groman (Maranello / Parilla) and Armand Convers (Kosmic / Vortex) were in 4th and 5th position respectively from Jonathan Thonon (CRG / Maxter), Manuel Renaudie (Gillard / Parilla) and Oliver Rowland (LH / Maxter). Brandon Maisano (LH / Maxter) had already begun his impressive ascent, but Sauro Cesetti (Birel / Parilla) remained mired in the pack.

The confrontation for 3rd place started between Groman, Convers and Catt. Groman showed he was sharpest when he took the lead on lap 11! Kozlinski took second place, Ardigo attacked him and Catt was back in business, while Maïsano was already up to 6th.

In mid-race, Ardigo took over the command, but Groman was far from giving up. Rowland had disappeared, Thonon retired and Cesetti could no longer be seen: there were even more mechanical failures as the weather cooled down significantly. Catt was back in 3rd position, but he also broke his engine. Warned that the provisional leader of the champions was off the track, so Kozlinski stopped taking risks to ensure second place. Maïsano was in a podium podium again. He took 3rd place even ahead of Groman and Convers. However, the battle went on until late in the race. Groman used his last strength to regain that position. Maïsano finally finished 4th in front of Convers.
