Second in his first heat and the winner of the next, the Belgian Maxime Potty has the advantage at the end of the qualifying heats at Ortona for the Academy Trophy. But the Russian Artem Petrov increased the pressure by finishing second by a single point. The Brazilian Pedro Piquet was very fast, winning the first race, and he is ranked third ahead of the Italian Edoardo Tolfo. The Estonian Ralf Aron completed the top five, while remaining a serious contender.
The top French driver, Adeline Prudent completed two great races to give her 6th place. Competitors should also be wary of Julia Pankiewicz, one of the Crazy Sisters (the name of their team) from Poland who took a third position with the fastest lap in heat B / C. Gautier Becq was not very fast in the first heat, better in the second, but he is not satisfied with the start of his Italian weekend in 14th position. It will not be easy either for Nathan Hedouin in 19th.
Consistent in qualifying and the first heat, the performance gaps tended to regulate at the end of the day. Everyone wants it to continue for the finals on Sunday.
