Big victory for Moineault in the final

The sky was heavy on the region of Varennes for the KF3 final, but the arrival of rain was still uncertain. The nervousness was palpable among the competitors who already crashed on the formation lap …

Valentin Moineault (Sodi / Parilla) took the lead, Fran Rueda (FA Kart / Vortex) dislodged Charles Leclerc (Sodi / Parilla) for 2nd place, Benjamin Gerard (Tony Kart / Vortex) was 3rd, Leclerc and Esteban Ocon (FA Kart / Vortex) were 4th and 5th. Moineault took off, and now Alex Palou (FA Kart / Vortex) was 4th and Ocon 5th. Paolo Besancenez (Sodi / Parilla) was back in 7th position, Dorian Boccolacci (Birel / BMB) in 15th. Ocon went wide and returned to 6th while Besancenez was losing ground in the same way.

On his own now, Moineault had more than 2” of a lead. We approach mid-race, and the Spaniards Palou and Rueda were slightly closer to the leader. Ocon was 4th in front of Guillermo Russo (FA Kart / Vortex). Albert Gil (Tony Kart / Vortex) also made a mistake, going wide. The positions were stabilized for now. Rueda took advantage of Palou for 2nd position. Besancenez seemed to attack Russo, trying to take 5th. But yes, he did it, on the 12th of 17 laps. Starting 24th, in 12th Boccolacci was now behind Etienne Mordret. The Spaniards continued to fight Ocon and Besancenez and caught up with 2 laps to go. They first took Palou in a single leap. Ocon surprised Rueda in a fast corner and Besancenez seized early on the last lap.

Moineault royally prevailed under the gaze of his team manager, Ludovic Vève. Esteban Ocon was in a fine 2nd place after a good effort and Fran Rueda was on the 3rd step of the podium. Russo was 4th, Tirman 5th, Florian Latorre 6th.
