Sendin finally on the top step

The sky was very clear at Angerville at midday and it was under strong sunlight the KF2 drivers went out for their final. The front row was occupied by Andrea Pizzitola (FA Kart / Vortex) and Kenny Vermeylen (Tecno / Parilla), but the result is not bad either for Victor Sendin (Tony Kart / Vortex), Pascal Belmaaziz (DR / Parilla) , Hubert Anthoine (Sodi / Parilla) and Alex Baron (Sodi / Parilla). Corentin Gilson (CRG / Maxter) was late getting started.

Pizzitola took the lead, but Sendin was immediately second, while tailgating were Belmaaziz and Vermeylen. From the back of the grid, Leo Roussel (Sodi / Parilla) had already got to 11th on the 2nd lap. Vermeylen dropped Belmaaziz. The top 4 were well grouped within two tenths of one another, and Hubert, in 5th was not far away. Vermeylen could prove threatening to Sendin who stepped up his efforts in approaching Pizzitola. Roussel was now 7th, just behind Guillaume De Ridder (Tony Kart / Vortex).

There was drama on the 8th of the 21 laps, Pizzitola weakened and let his 3 pursuers past. Sendin found himself in the lead ahead of Vermeylen and Belmaaziz. The TKF driver set the fastest time in the race, Vermeylen did not seem able to attack, but maybe he was waiting, as he then set the fastest lap. Both drivers had dropped their pursuers. Pizzitola was now back down in 7th position.

Sendin still had some in reserve and controlled the situation perfectly to the checkered flag, pocketing definitively the fastest time in the race. Vermeylen was 2nd, 3rd Belmaaziz, Hubert 4th, 5th Roussel and 6th De Ridder.
