The WSK Master Series KZ2 standings after the first half of the championship

Also the WSK Master, in this eventful beginning of season, has completed its first half. In the WSK paddock everybody talks about ideal settings and engines as well as of standings. They are all important conversation topics in the race towards the WSK title. After the second round in Sarno (Italy) last weekend, there are two more rounds: on 2nd May in Precenicco (Udine, Italy) and on 4th July in Castelletto di Branduzzo (Pavia, Italy). Verstappen (NL – CRG-TM KZ2), Boccolacci (F – Energy-TM KF), Lorandi (I – Tony Kart-Parilla KF Junior) and Maini (IND – Tony Kart-LKE 60 Mini) lead the current WSK Master Series standings.

Insight into the WSK Master Series standings on TV. Standings after the race will be dealt with in WSK TV Magazine, 30′ TV programme aired by RaiSport 2 on Friday 12th April from 11:55pm.

Max Verstappen keeps the KZ2 leadership. The Dutch Max Versteppen (CRG-TM-Bridgestone) could count on the full score achieved in the first round of Muro Leccese and, despite the adversities of his weekend in Sarno, he managed to remain on top of the standings, even though he is now closely pursued by two dangerous rivals such as Paolo De Conto (Birel-TM-Bridgestone) and Riccardo Negro (DR-TM-Bridgestone). The two Italian drivers won the two Finals of the weekend: De Conto won Final 1 on Saturday but was obliged to pull over after few laps in Final 2; Negro was unstoppable in Final 2 but managed to beat into second place Charles Leclerc (ART GP-TM-Bridgestone) only in the last meters of the race. So, De Conto halved the gap with Verstappen, who leads the standings with 101 points, while his competitors scored 70 and 64 points respectively. Leclerc and his teammate, the English Ben Hanley, follow with 57 and 48. The new ART GP couple of drivers were particularly competitive throughout the whole Southern Italian weekend, especially thanks to the driver from Monaco, Leclerc, who got very close to victory. The final sprint could be surprising.
