De Vries wins firs KF1 final

He hadn’t threatened his rivals much in the heats, but Nyck De Vries has already taken over the reins in the first final in KF1.

But Ignazio D’Agosto (Tony Kart / Vortex) made the best start in the WSK Euro Series at Sarno. A collision at the first right involved drivers like Lennox, Hubert, Deguffroy, and Dale and Baron who retired. Meanwhile Flavio Camponeschi (Tony Kart / Vortex) took the lead, but faltered on lap 2 and soon returned to the pits. Leo Roussel (Sodi / Parilla) took third.

A new leader, D’Agosto was threatened by Karol Basz (RK / BMB), who was recovering from his poor start. Nyck De Vries (Zanardi / Parilla) was fourth ahead of Alex Albon (Intrepid / TM), Sébastien Bailly (Kosmic / Vortex), Felice Tiene (CRG / Maxter), Jordan Chamberlain (Intrepid / TM) and Chris Lock (Tony Kart / Vortex). De Vries and Albon took Roussel. We could see that Nyck was going faster and faster from lap 5 onwards. He took second and then first on laps 7 and 8. Basz remained second, but Albon, 3rd from Roussel and D’Agosto, was very strong. Roussel attacked D’Agosto with 2 laps to go, Albon threatened Basz threat but he closed the doors on the last lap.

De Vries won the race narrowly and Basz retained second, 5 / 100 in front of Albon, also hounded by Roussel. D’Agosto was 5th and Bailly 6th. Beautiful recovery by Laura Tillett (CRG / Maxter) who was 11th after many disappointments in the heats.
