Albon untouchable?

The Briton Alexander Albon (Intrepid / TM) dominates the World Cup KF3 in Braga. Winning all his heats, the European Champion is also fastest and it is unclear at the moment who could challenge him. Max Verstappen (CRG / Maxter) is probably the sharpest of his opponents, but he did not have the means to counter the leader. Pierre Gasly (Sodi / Parilla) was expected to be 3rd after the heats, but crashed with Esteban Ocon on the last lap and ended up 7th.

The Norwegian Dennis Olsen (Energy / TM) is in third, richly deserved after his good and consistent results. He leads Peter Hoevenaars (Intrepid / TM), the amazing Santiago Urrutia (Intrepid / TM) and Jake Dennis (Top Kart / Parilla) should have some influence in the final.

The French driver, however, seems to have taken a good step in the development of his performance. Christian Sorensen (Birel / BMB) won a heat and then fell down the order to 15th before Hubert Anthoine (Tony Kart / Vortex) who was working to increase the potential of his machine. Charles Leclerc (Sodi / Parilla) was 18th, an excellent result for the French brand as he won the last race.

Remy Deguffroy (Tony Kart / Vortex) won his ticket to the finals with 20th place while promising more, Benjamin Gerard is in 25th place with his new Intrepid / TM and Esteban Ocon (Exprit / Vortex) reached 30th thanks to the two races on Sunday morning (3rd and 6th).

Three French drivers started the long list of non-qualifiers: Erwan Julé (Intrepid / TM) because of a wiring failure dropping him from 6th to 34th place in round 1. Florian Latorre (DR / Parilla) and Thomas Ferrando (Maranello / TM) were in 35th and 36th, the latter having suffered a major electrical problem …
