Dreezen unrivalled in the final

The grid for the northern-dominated final 1 in KZ1 with three Dutch and two Belgians in the top five places. The track dried gradually, but everyone expected rain. Taking advantage of the front row Rick Dreezen (Tony Kart / Vortex) led the first lap ahead of Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex), who made a very good start. Starting from pole, Bas Lammers (Praga / Parilla) had damage in the bottom end of the circuit and was only sixth. Joey Hanssen (Lenzo / TM) was in third ahead of Jonathan Thonon (CRG / Maxter) and Beitske Visser (Intrepid / TM). Anthony Abbasse (Sodi / Maxter) moved rapidly from 17th to 10th. Thonon attacked Hanssen for 3rd place.

Dreezen was constantly improving his fastest time and increased his lead while Thonon was slowly gaining on Ardigo, as was Visser on Hanssen. De Brabander got no further than the fifth lap. Abbasse came back in contact with Zdenek Groman (Kosmic / Vortex) in eighth. Thonon no longer seemed to be getting closer to Ardigo. Ben Hanley (ART GP / TM) threatened Lammers for 6th, and Abbasse pushed Groman.

With two laps to go, Hanley struggled against Groman, and Abbasse took the opportunity to pass them both. Then Lammers was in trouble on the last lap. It was a clear victory for Rick Dreezen in front of Marco Ardigo by 4.2”, a double for Tony Kart, and then Thonon behind by 3.6”. Hanssen was fourth, Abbasse 5th and Visser 6th.
