OK World Championship Prefinal 1: Smolyar wins in front of Basz

Karol Basz (Kosmic / Vortex) quickly ceded under pressure from Lorenzo Travisanutto (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Alexander Smolyar (Tony Kart / Vortex). The Pole then lost ground consistently. Noah Milell (Kosmic / Vortex) was 3rd followed by the astonishing Vincent Fraïsse (Sodi / TM), Tom Joyner (Zanardi / Parilla) and Tom Bale (Kosmic / Vortex). Jean-Baptiste Simmenauer (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Clément Novalak (Tony Kart / Vortex) did not start the race as well as they hoped. Smolyar took the lead on lap 6 in front of Milell and Travisanutto and Joyner joined them. The top two then detached themselves from the chasing group. Simmenauer moved up to the top ten. Milell took the lead on lap 10, Smolyar responded and Joyner moved closer to 3rd position while Basz came back to 4th with the fastest lap. He managed to overtake Joyner two laps from the finish. Milell tried to attack Smolyar, but in vain, and it was Basz who finished 2nd. Smolyar won, Basz saved his race with 2nd place, Milell was 3rd, Joyner 4th, Bale 5th, Fraïsse 6th and Travisanutto 7th. Simmenauer qualified 10th, Ulysses De Pauw (Kosmic / Vortex) 14th and Novalak 15th.
