Castelletto KF prefinals: Nielsen and Basz the winners

Nicklas Nielsen (Tony Kart / Vortex) led Prefinal-A from start to finish on a wet track with a little persistent rain ahead of Richard Verschoor (Exprit / Vortex) and Juan Correa (Energy / TM). Lorenzo Travisanutto (PCR / TM) didn’t complete a lap, Felice Tiene (CRG / Parilla) spun in the first chicane. After a great start, Ben Hanley (Croc Promotion / TM) came back to 4th passing Martijn Van Leeuwen (CRG / TM) and came back to Correa without managing to overtake. Victory went to Nielsen, with Verschoor setting fantastic times, with Correa 3rd, Hanley 4th and Van Leeuwen 5th. Casper Roes (FA Kart / Vortex) narrowly qualified in 17th place behind Tiene.

Karol Basz (Kosmic / Vortex) took off from the first lap of Prefinal B with a bold line that was completely completely different at first. The battle was then very close for 2nd place between Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex), Max Fewtrell (FA Kart / Vortex) and Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG / Parilla) who moved up in mid race leading the chasing pack. Benjamin Lessennes (Zanardi / Parilla) returned to fourth position with his attack on Fewtrell. The Belgian took advantage of a desperate duel between Hiltbrand and Lorandi and overtook the Italian and Spanish drivers before dropping to fifth, with Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart / Vortex) recovering the 4th position. Basz won the race with the fastest time and an insolent lead of 21″. Lorandi lost 2nd place in favor of Hiltbrand on the last lap, Vartanyan finished 3rd, Lessennes 4th, Lorandi 5th and Marcus Armstrong (Tony Kart / Vortex) 6th . Great recovery to 8th position for Maxime Potty (Kosmic / Vortex).
