KF3: Ilott victory, title for Palou

Alessio Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Alex Palou (CRG / BMB) were on the front row of the KF3 final. Vitor Baptista (CRG / BMB) had trouble starting. Lorandi already got away ahead of Georgy Antonov (CRG / Parilla), Palou, Callum Ilott (Zanardi / Parilla), George Russell (Intrepid / Vortex) and Dorian Boccolacci (Intrepid / TM) who stole fifth place on the second lap. Antonov fell to sixth, Russell and Boccolacci fought over fourth position, Julien Darras (Tony Kart / Parilla) advanced to sixth from Luca Corberi (Kosmic / Vortex), José Fortunato (Energy / TM), Alessio Piccini (Kosmic / Vortex) and Dan Ticktum (Zanardi / Parilla).

It was a close trio leading the race with Lorandi, Ilott and Palou, then Russell, Darras, Boccolacci, and Corberi. Ilott attacked Lorandi for the lead, Palou followed in second position ahead of Lorandi. At the halfway point, Darras passed Russell who was also passed by Boccolacci and Corberi. The top three stretched out, Darras was a few steps ahead of the furious pack of Corberi, Russell, Ticktum, and Piccini. Darras was caught up by Corberi who passed on lap 9. On the last lap, Simone Cunati (Top Kart / Parilla) closed up to Boccolacci but couldn’t pass.

Victory went to Callum Ilott, who set the fastest lap, ahead of Alex Palou who wins the championship. Alessio Lorandi was on the third step of the podium in front of Corberi, Darras, Russell and Boccolacci.
