Magnificent duel between Ardigo and Lennox-Lamb for the KZ final

It was an explosive front row in the KZ Final with Jordon Lennox-Lamb (Birel ART / Parilla) and Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex). The leader came from the outside line, but Lennox-Lamb and Flavio Camponeschi (CRG / Parilla) made the move from the second lap. Patrik Hajek (Kosmic / Vortex) was still 4th in front of Paolo De Conto (CRG / Maxter), Ben Hanley (Croc Promotions / TM) and Anthony Abbasse (Sodi / TM) in 7th. Ardigo attacked for 2nd place, Camponeschi took 6th. The lead Tony Kart driver posted a faster time, a tenth faster than the leader. A collision delayed Jérémy Iglesias (Sodi / TM), then 12th, and causes the retirement of Marcus Armstrong (Tony Kart / Vortex). The fastest driver on the track, Bas Lammers (Sodi / TM) was 13th.

At halfway Ardigo returned to Lennox-Lamb’s wheeltracks and De Conto was following closely, while Hanley grabbed 4th place ahead of Hajek. Lammers and Pescador crashed and the Spaniard stopped for a moment before restarting. Ardigo took 2nd place on the 15th lap with De Conto in his wake, but the Briton immediately returned to 2nd and renewed the attack on the new leader. It looked like Lennox-Lamb would be able to try something, but Ardigo was resistant and won by 15 thousandths. Hanley completed the podium, consisting of three different chassis and three different engines. De Conto finished 4th, Hajek 5th, Camponeschi 6th and Abbasse 7th ahead of Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex), the top KZ2.
