Win for Dalgleish, good operation for Hubert

The time of the long-awaited and dreaded – depending on starting position – pre-final 2, while the sun shined slightly at Essay. The winner of the qualifying heats starts in last position, and last takes pole … The start of course needs to be watched!

Although the back started quietly, there was jostling at the front of the pack. Forman, Wright and Pangonis crashed and retired at the first hairpin. Jannick Flygenring (Mach 1) took in the lead ahead of Raquel Martinez (Top Kart), Robbie Dalgeish (Top Kart) and Radim Maxa (Intrepid), but Martinez took first position on the next round, Yves Von Aesch (Swiss Hutless) took 4th from Henry Easthope (Sodi). Anthoine Hubert (Sodi) was already back to ninth position, Leo Roussel (Sodi) 12th, Pyry Ovaska (Maranello) 18th ahead of Dave Blom (Intrepid).

The Scot Dalgeish soon attacked Martinez to take over her leadership, while Flygerning was losing ground. Ovaska, still followed by Blom, began cautiously avoiding the pitfalls of the adventure. Ovaska set the fastest race lap and finished in 12th place, and Blom was 13th. Dalgeish won the race ahead of Martinez, Von Aesch took third then Hubert and Easthope who made the best recovery to fifth place after having risen a whopping 20 places! He should end up on pole for the final.
