Boccolacci Hoped for Better Results at World KF Championship

Fighting to remain in the top 10 in a final race, even though it was in a world championship, it is not something that Dorian Boccolacci would normally aim to. However, this is exactly what happened in England, on the circuit of PFI, during the first meeting of the World KF Championship. After a number of free practice sessions, the Energy/TM driver became well aware that his kart was not one of the fastest. In timed qualifying, number 9, which by the way he likes, started to stick to him, since he finished 9th with a delay of 0.3 seconds from the leaders.

9th in the first heat, he managed to conclude the following heat with a third place, but slipped down thirteen places after a penalty for a manoeuvre judged inappropriate. His times continued to lack regularity in the last few heats and he was only 18th in the provisional classification. In his pre-final, things went better, raising hopes for a possible return to the front. Indeed, he climbed up from 9th to 4th place and reduced his delay vs. the fastest by 0.1-0.2 seconds per lap.

In the final race, Dorian had to fight hard to remain in the top 10, especially at the start of the race, before his kart delivered its full potential. But despite all his efforts, he could not do better than 9th place on arrival, a position that allowed him to score a few points in the World Championship, but not sufficient to hope to be able to easily conquer the title at Bahrain in November. Faced with competitors who have greatly improved since the beginning of the year, Dorian would definitely need a kart with better performances to conclude the season.
