Repechages in the sun in Lonato

KZ2 opened the run of repechages on Sunday morning in excellent weather conditions. Ryan Van Der Burgt (DR / TM) started well before he attacked the leader Morgan Tornqvist (CRG / TM) from the 3rd lap. Next Luca Tilloca (ART GP / Modena) took 2nd ahead of Jordy Morsel (Birel / TM), Tornqvist 4th, Maksimilian Van Meever (CRG / TM) 5th and Vladislav Kurakin (ART GP / TM) 6th . The French driver Enzo Marchetti (Energy / TM) gained 9 places but finished 13th.

In KF-Junior, the battle took place at all levels from the start. Dikkie Van Derwal (Intrepid / TM) was in the lead until the fourth lap, then Davide Lombardo (Tony Kart / Vortex) led to victory with Simon Reicher (FA Kart / Vortex) on his heels and Bard Verkroost in 3rd position. Joshua Smith (ART GP / TM) took 4th place ahead of Van Derwal while Wiktoria Pankiewicz (Tony Kart / TM) was doing battle to get back into the top six after a difficult start. Luca Légeret (Zanardi / Parilla) had the game in hand, but then sank into the depths of the rankings along with Logan Sargeant (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Giuliano Alesi (Tony Kart / TM).

In KF, Moritz Horn (Energy / TM) led much of the race ahead of Paolo Besancenez (Tony Kart / TM), but Maxim Kim (DR / TM) had shown enough fight, especially in braking, to win the race ahead of Besancenez who responded well on the last two laps. There was a good comeback for the Japanese driver Takuja Okada (ART GP / TM) who finished fourth ahead of Mikhail Tarasov (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Stefano Lovchaliev (Wildkart / TM). Xia Yifan (Tony Kart / TM) just missed qualification, while his teammate Julien Fong Wei Jie lost too many places at the start to be able to aim for the top 6.
