Tight battle in the KZ heats between Ardigo Fore and Hajek

Heat 1 B-C

Patrik Hajek (Kosmic / Vortex) and Davide Fore (Righetti / TM) escaped in the lead of the race from the start, while Anthony Abbasse (Sodi / TM) stumbled on Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex) on the first lap. Hajek distanced Fore on the finish line, with Abbasse finishing 3rd by a tenth. Flavio Camponeschi (CRG / Parilla) took 4th position despite the return of Jeremy Iglesias (Sodi / TM), while Bas Lammers was on a big rise of seven places to finish 7th ahead of Rick Dreezen (Ricciardo / Parilla) with the best lap, two tenths faster than the leader. Yohan Souza (Zanardi / Parilla) moved up eight places to 16th and Gabin Leuillet (Sodi / TM) finished 21st with four places gained. Lammers was then excluded for being underweight, using a scales that to Sodi appeared far from infallible.

Heat 2 A-C

Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex) took the lead in the qualifying heat A-C on the second lap overtaking Patrik Hajek (Kosmic / Vortex), then Francesco Celenta (Formula K / TM). In 4th, Anthony Abbasse (Sodi / TM) broke down on lap 4. Jordon Lennox-Lamb (Birel ART / Parilla) was ahead of Rick Dreezen (Ricciardo / Parilla) for 3rd position, while Bas Lammers (Sodi / TM) finished 5th in the wheeltracks of Dreezen with again the fastest race lap and a gain of nine positions. There was another rise of eight places for Yohan Sousa (Zanardi / Parilla), and nine for Luca Corberi (Tony Kart / Vortex) who was 18th after starting last after missing Qualifying for academic reasons. Tom Leuillet (Sodi / TM) finished 20th.

Heat 3 A-B
Leader of the A-B qualifying heat at the start, Davide Fore (Righetti / TM) was joined by Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex) at halfway. But unlike the usual scenario, Ardigo met with firm and continuous resistance and Fore proved that with a little skill, it is perfectly possible to prevent an opponent from passing on the track of Adria. Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex), 3rd after the start was baffled by Flavio Camponeschi (CRG / Parilla), who he was trying to pass but sent him off course. The confusion allowed Jérémy Iglesias to take over 3rd position with Jordon Lennox-Lamb (Birel ART / Parilla) on his heels.

The top three in the ranking of the heats are on equal points, two each, so the Qualifying order decided between Ardigo, Fore and Hajek in that order. Lennox-Lamb is 4th in front of Iglesias, Abbasse 21st, and Lammers 25th. Benjamin Tornqvist (CRG / TM) in 7th took control of the KZ2 ranking ahead of Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Francesco Celenta (Formula K / TM) in 9th.
