D’Agosto in front of De Vries at the end

There was a strange atmosphere for race 3 in KF1, the first on Sunday at Suzuka. The challenges started to weigh heavily on the shoulders of some and confrontation was in prospect between the protagonists of the World Championship. Nyck De Vries (Zanardi / Parilla) made the best start to lead at the first corner ahead of Flavio Camponeschi (Tony Kart / Vortex) and the amazing Kazuya Ishii (Birel / BMB) then Ignazio D’Agosto, the pole sitter. Ishii inflamed his audience, then Camponeschi grabbed the lead on lap 2. Unfortunately, Ishii’s engine died on the following lap: De Vries, on his heels, could not avoid him and was held up, but without consequences.

De Vries lead from D’Agosto who stayed in his wheeltracks throughout the race. Behind them, Karol Basz (RK / BMB) was in a solid third place while fourth was Camponeschi following the retirement of Ishii. D’Agosto stayed close to De Vries, and seemed to have the resources, but waited until two laps before the end to attack the Dutch driver. Everyone drove very correctly, De Vries tried to reply, but D’Agosto was definitely faster and won. Basz gained his third podium in a row ahead of Camponeschi, who in fourth set the fastest lap, then Alex Albon (Intrepid / TM) from 10th on the grid. It is rumored that Nyck De Vries has already won the Championship, so the battle is between Camponeschi, Albon, D’Agosto and Basz for the second step of the podium of the season.
