Competition

Attractive display at Southern European Trophy

Among the 87 entered in Southeastern Europe Trophy in KF3, the French delegation will look great on the track this weekend at Varennes. 24 drivers will line up on the grid for the heats in the European Championship in the class with a high potential for winning in some of them. The Sodi drivers Paolo Besancenez and Valentin Moineault have a final each in the GPO to their name on this same track a month ago and have a psychological edge on the competition, but Esteban Ocon (FA Kart / Vortex) is back in his new team.

Dorian Boccolacci (Birel / BMB), Florian Latorre (Sodi / Parilla) and Simon Tirman (Tony Kart / Vortex) are also highly rated among the forecasters, while drivers like Etienne Mordred (Zanardi / Parilla), Benjamin Gerard (Tony Kart / Vortex) Erwan Julé (Intrepid / TM) or Valentin Naud (Tony Kart / Vortex) will have their say.

Two girls are part of the pack: Lucile Cypriano (Tony Kart / Vortex), recently selected for the CIK Academy Trophy and Cecilia Martini (Sodi / TM).

There are 24 Italians expected at Varennes. Antonio Fuoco (Top Kart / TM), Kevin Lavelli (Top Kart / Parilla), Alessio Piccini (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Luca Corberi (Tony Kart / Vortex) at the front. But we should keep an eye on the Spanish drivers, some of whom have learned the track at the GPO: Fran Rueda, Alex Palou and Guillermo Russo at the FA Kart / Vortex team of Marco Genis and also Albert Gil (Tony Kart / Vortex). Pedro Hiltbrand (Kosmic / Vortex) has strong qualities to fight in for the lead. Swiss driver Darius Oskoui (Intrepid / TM) has made a strong impression at the last WSK round in Portugal. Finally, Charles Leclerc will soon change teams.
