Castelletto: Hiltbrand takes the controls in the OK heats

The rain finally stopped at Castelletto on Saturday in the early afternoon. Although the track dried very quickly in the sun and wind, the grip remained relatively precarious until the end of the day.

Luca Lippkau (Zanardi / Parilla) continued to play a leading role, but Pedro Hiltbrand (Tony Kart / Vortex) managed to reach the top of the WSK Super Master Series qualifying heats thanks to his two wins. Lorenzo Travisanutto (Zanardi / Parilla) was very fast in his last heat in the dry and is 3rd. Fin Kenneally (Energy / Vortex) performed very well and finished 4th despite mechanical problems in his last heat. There was a big recovery from Paavo Tonteri (Tony Kart / Vortex) from 20th to 5th place. Ivan Shvetsov (Tony Kart / Vortex) in 9th, Dennis Hauger (CRG / Parilla) 11th and David Schumacher (Tony Kart / Vortex) 12th, are also among the drivers having made great progress.

On the other hand, disappointment prevailed for Ulysses De Pauw (Kosmic / Parilla) in 16th because of a retirement and Karol Basz (Kosmic / Vortex), 17th after a weight exclusion. Adam Eteki (Zanardi / Parilla) lost ground despite a beautiful 3rd place due to a spoiler penalty and still ranks 15th from 24th in Qualifying. The situation of Théo Pourchaire (Kosmic / Vortex) has improved slightly in 26th position, while Theo Nouet (Energy / Parilla) met with a number of unforeseen events that brought him down to 34th place.
