Palou wins prefinal B

There was an electrifying front row in the KF3 Prefinal B with Alex Palou (CRG / BMB) and George Russell (Intrepid / Vortex). Palou escaped at the front, far ahead of Dorian Boccolacci (Intrepid / TM) and Georgy Antonov (CRG / Parilla). Russell dropped to fourth. Next were Jose Fortunato (Energy / TM), Niko Kari (Tony Kart / Vortex), Julien Darras (Tony Kart / Parilla) was 7th, Bryan Elpitiya (Zanardi / Parilla) 8th. Paolo Besancenez (Sodi / Parilla) went off the track at the start line. Boccolacci was closely followed by Antonov in sector 3. Darras passed for 6th, Elpitiya dropped to 13th.

Russell returns to Boccolacci at halfway, to third, and was in his wake before fighting with Antonov. Palou was on his own in the lead, 2” from a group of three drivers, Antonov, Russell, Boccolacci, then Kari 6/10 back, then Darras 2s back hounded by Thomas Bale (FA Kart / Vortex). Palou won the race ahead of Russell who overcame Antonov. Boccolacci narrowly saved his fourth place with a lot of opposition from Kari, Darras finished 6th from Bale. Elpitiya moved back into the top 10.
