Everybody against Camponeschi!

Flavio Camponesch, KF1

Five month after the opening round held in Suzuka, Japan, the CIK-FIA World Karting Championship will reach its climax on the circuit of Coloane, one of the two main islands composing Macau. The Italian Flavio Camponeschi is dreaming of turning that Special Administrative Region of the Popular Republic of China into the scene of his maiden world title. Japan’s Daiki Sasaki and Italy’s Felice Tiene are however toying with the same ambition, just like the already four-time World Champion Davide Foré. And with four races still to go, many scenarios are possible!

It was at the end of May on the Suzuka circuit. By landing 3 out of the 4 races of the opening round of this 2012 World Championship, Flavio Camponeschi (Tony Kart-Vortex) had stricken a major blow. It is therefore as a comfortable leader that the Italian will arrive in Macau for the second and last meeting of the World competition. “After having competed in the European Championship and World Cup for the KF2 category with harder tyres, I shall be able to use again in Macau the special tyres placed at our disposal by Bridgestone”, explained the Italian. “They are better fitted to my driving style and I hope to take again the road to success. I really want this title!”

Extremely motivated, Flavio is also aware that he will have to be cautious as with 4 races in two days (the 3 best results of which will be retained) many opponents can very well reverse the situation. The Japanese Daiki Sasaki (Kosmic-Vortex), impressive on his home land, will confidently reach this world final. One week after he won the second division of the Japanese Formula 3 Championship, Daiki will indeed have to find again a good rhythm since he has seldom been at the wheel of a kart this year. However, he likes Macau, where he landed last year’s Asia-Pacific KF1 Championship, and he dreams of putting an end to his Karting career by donning the supreme crown. Although he is 15 points down on Camponeschi it therefore does not seem unsurpassable…
