KZ2 Heats: Ardigo neck and neck with De Conto

Three qualifying heats, with the starting grid the finishing order of the previous one, were on the WSK Champions Cup programme at Adria for the 33 racing in KZ2. A KSM driver, Alexander Schmitz (Tony Kart / Vortex) won the first but lost his footing in the second, which saw the return to the front of Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex), only 13th in Qualifying, who also won the last heat and is the leader in the intermediate classification. Consistent, Paolo De Conto (CRG / Maxter) made sure the 2nd position ahead of the poleman Lorenzo Camplese (Parolin / TM), slower during racing. Patrik Hajek (Kosmic / Vortex) finished 4th in front of the excellent newcomer Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex). The new Vortex engines for the Pex brothers proved increasingly on the pace and Stan (CRG / Vortex) took possession of 6th position, while Jorrit was only 15th. Also a rookie, Marcus Armstrong (Tony Kart / Vortex) took 7th place despite a total of 29 points. After two convincing heats, Alessandro Pelizzari (CKR / TM) lost out seriously by retiring in the 3rd race and found himself 14th.
