Ahmed wins the KFJ Prefinal

The KF Junior Prefinal started in the sun, but with a collision at the entrance of the bridge that required the ‘Slow’ procedure and then the red flag, while only one lap had been completed. The new grid was identical to its predecessor except for the drivers affected by the incident. Logan Sargeant (FA Kart / Vortex) managed to reach the gate bravely pushing his machine, but from the last row. Archie Tillett (CRG / TM) and Sophia Floersch (FA Kart / Vortex) were missing.

The race resumed 20 minutes later, after the ambulance had left. David Beckmann (Tony Kart / Parilla) soon escaped ahead of a group of four including Benjamin Lessennes (Kosmic / Parilla), Rasmus Lindh (Praga / Parilla), Enaam Ahmed (FA Kart / Vortex) and Max Fewtrell (FA Kart / Vortex). Juan Correa (Energy / TM) dropped to 28th position and Felipe Drugovich (Energy / TM) 32nd. Ahmed grabbed second position. Lessennes retired on the third lap. Rokas Baciuska (Energy / TM) fought with Lindh for 3rd position. Beckmann was still 0.5 seconds ahead of Ahmed who was closing, while the lead group was ahead by over 2.5s. Presley Martono (Tony Kart / Parilla) got a black flag on lap 6.

Ahmed attacked Beckmann braking during the ninth of the 11 laps of the race. Mick Junior (Tony Kart / Vortex), up to fifth threatened Lindh and passed before the last corner, followed by Max Fewtrell (FA Kart / Vortex). Ahmed won ahead of Beckmann, Bacisuka too, third position, Mick Junior finished 4th, Fewtrell 5th, Lindh 6th and Lorenzo Travisanutto (PCR / TM) 7th. There was a good recovery of 10 places for Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart / Vortex) and 8th for Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Parilla) in 10th. Joshua Smith recovered no less than 19 places to 14th. Correa was 15th, Devlin Defrancesco (Tony Kart / Vortex) 19th.
