More than ever the weather is a big part of the decisions and discussions in the paddock at Sarno. The forecasts all show heavy rain, but on the ground it’s not the same. The sky became more and more threatening, but the rain played with the nerves of competitors. Take for example the KF2 heat A against C. The mechanics mounted the slicks and the rain tires, and some have a wet and dry kart. As they had to decide prior to the closing of the dummy grid, everyone opted for slicks. Almost everyone. Max Verstappen got stuck in the parc ferme, and it was too late for him.

Fortunately, a few raindrops caused the start to be delayed, and everyone to be allowed to mount the rain tyres. Everything was sorted out in the end. Almost. The race took place entirely on a dry track … This pleased Anthoine Hubert (Formula K / TM) as he finished first, 3.5” ahead of Verstappen. By now the tyres had lost their grip on the dry track.

The lottery continued for other drivers until the rain started. To be continued …
