Norris finally the winner in KFJ

The air temperature exceeded 30 ° and the track 50 ° for the final for KF-J which was started after a very long wait in the sun for the 34 qualified young drivers. The competitor David Beckmann (Zanardi / BMB) appealed and his penalty of 10” was temporarily suspended allowing him to participate in the final.

The Thai-licensed UK driver Sasakorn Chaimongkol (Tony Kart / TM) managed to get away from the fray perfectly from the lights, while Lando Norris (FA Kart / Vortex) was pressured. He dropped to fourth position when Matteo Raspatelli (Tony Kart / Parilla) and Martijn Van Leeuwen (Zanardi / TM) passed. Also, there was Robert Shwartzmann (Tony Kart / TM), Niko Kari (FA Kart / Vortex), Tom Bale (FA Kart / Vortex) and Beckmann. Gabriel Aubry (Birel / TM) had lost all chance in a crash.

Norris tried hard to make up lost time, taking third then second behind Chaimongkol. He waited for the last lap to make his attack on the right hander at the top of the hill. Chaimongkol replied at the next hairpin but came into contact with Norris was therefore forced to turn off and lose control of the race. Chaimongkol crossed the finish line first, while Norris narrowly saved his second place against a very determined Raspatelli. Van Leeuwen was able to secure fourth ahead of Parker Thompson (Energy / TM) and Alessio Lorandi (Tony Kart / Parilla). Bryan Elpitiya (Energy / TM) finished a good race in eighth, Arthur Lehouck (Lenzo / TM) dropped back to 22nd and Aubry finished 25th.

Later, the sporting commission penalized Chaimongkol 10” which dropped him to 14th and gave a deserved victory to Lando Norris with Raspatelli in second and Van Leeuwen third. Also, Alessio Lorandi was excluded for being underweight.
