Verstappen on the wings of success

The front row was 100% CRG for KF3 Prefinal the Nations Cup with Max Verstappen and Antonio Fuoco second pole. Live TV required the start to be delayed. Fuoco came on to the track on the second practice lap and resumed his place with a shortcut. This did not stop Max Verstappen (CRG / Maxter) taking command of the race immediately, ahead of Antonio Fuoco (CRG / Maxter), Paolo Ippolito (Tony Kart / Vortex), Esteban Ocon (Intrepid / TM) who was boxed in at the start and quickly returned to the attack, then Victor Compere (FA Kart / Vortex).

Ippolito quickly captured second position while Verstappen had escaped already. In chasing trio, Ocon, 4th, puts pressure on Ippolito and Fuoco during braking, but without result. Nicolas Beer (Tony Kart / Vortex) has was also mixed up in the fight, taking 4th position. Ippolito ensures his 2nd place by opening up a gap from his pursuers. Meanwhile, Victor Compere held on well in 7th place. Beer took 3rd, and Ocon also benefited to pass Fuoco, in the wake of Matthew Graham (Birel / BMB). Boldly, Ocon tried to repass the British driver on the outside but also had to take Fuoco.

Verstappen won the race more than 3s from Beer, with less than a second on Graham, Fuoco and Ocon. Fuoco took 3rd place on the last lap, Ocon tried to gain a place in the last braking zone, but in vain. It was Max Verstappen before Ippolito, Beer, Fuoco, Graham and Ocon. Compere finished 10th.
