Sargeant and Baiz win the prefinals in KFJ

Logan Sargeant (FA Kart / Vortex) made a great start in Prefinal A for KF-Junior, closely followed by Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart / Vortex), Matteo Raspatelli (Tony Kart / TM) and Eliseo Martinez (LH / TM). David Beckmann (Tony Kart / Vortex) was back in 10th position. Benjamin Lessennes (Tony Kart / Parilla) moved up to 5th ahead of Lorenzo Travisanutto (PCR / TM), Max Fewtrell (FA Kart / Vortex) and Enaam Ahmed (FA Kart / Vortex). The top four distanced themselves from Ahmed, now 5th and Fewtrell, Lessennes and Beckmann.

At the halfway point, Martinez took 3rd ahead of Raspatelli, while the top two were a few steps ahead. But the Slow procedure was launched on lap 10 – to remove a driver from the crash barriers – and this removed any gaps. The race resumed with three laps to go. Ahmed passed Raspatelli quickly, but the Belgian replied. Beckmann made contact and lost places. Lessennes retired with a lap to go, when the exhaust came off. Sargeant won ahead of Vartanyan and Martinez, Raspatelli protected his 4th position ahead of Ahmed and Fewtrell, and De Francesco finished 7th ahead of Giuiliano Raucci.

The inner line led by Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / TM) started better in Prefinal-B, Mick Junior (Tony Kart / Vortex) was second ahead of Juan Correa (Energy / TM) and Mauricio Baiz (Exprit / Vortex) , followed by Daniel Lombardo (Exprit / Vortex) and James Pull (Tony Kart / Vortex). Lombardo attacked Baiz and hounded Correa, then Baiz took third, with Lombardo fourth and Correa fifth. Lorandi has two ahead of Mick Junior. Baiz continues to attack, he took second on the 7th of 16 laps, while Correa and Lombardo were fighting for fourth, soon to be joined by Matvey Maslov (Tony Kart / Vortex).

Baiz took the lead on lap 10 ahead of Lorandi and Mick Junior. The German took the Italian on the next lap. Meanwhile, Daniel Ticktum (Zanardi / Parilla) was on the move: after starting 16th, he took 7th place. Pull had dropped to the back. Lombardo passed Mick Junior on the last lap to gain second place, while Baiz crossed the line as the winner by 1.4”. Lorandi finished 4th ahead of Correa, Maslov was 6th, Ticktum 7th.
