KZ: Hajek gets the win in the prefinal

Patrik Hajek (Praga / Parilla) flew at the lights, Bas Lammers (Formula K / Parilla) attacked Jonathan Thonon (Praga / Parilla) immediately who found himself fifth behind Davide Fore (CRG / Maxter) and Jordon Lennox-Lamb (CRG / Maxter) on the first lap on the timing screen. Rick Dreezen (Zanardi / Parilla) took 5th position from the second lap, Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex) was 9th, Paolo De Conto (Birel / TM) 11th. The top three of Hajek, Lammers and Fore built up gaps of around half a second. Ardigo quickly returned to 7th from Ben Hanley (ART GP / TM) and Jorrit Pex (CRG / TM). Fore was then joined by Lennox-Lamb, and Dreezen and Ardigo passed Thonon in 6th. Dreezen attacked Lennox-Lamb on lap 6 and Ardigo on the next lap.

At halfway led Hajek led Lammers by a second, in 3rd Dreezen was also a second away. Lap 10: Fore and Ardigo crashed and they restarted in 9th and 23rd. De Conto was fourth ahead of Lennox-Lamb, Hanley and Pex. It was a difficult race for Thonon who couldn’t defend his chances as well as he should have been able, probably because of a technical problem. Dreezen took 2nd place on lap 13 round at the expense of Lammers.

It was a flawless victory for Hajek, with Dreezen 2nd, Lammers 3rd, De Conto 4th, Lennox-Lamb 5th, Hanley 6th, Ardigo 7th and Pex 8th.
