Final victory to Martins and European Junior title for Kenneally

The rain began to fall slightly while the OK-Junior finalists were on the grid. The start was on slicks after three formation laps, and the rain stopped. It went well for Victor Martins (Kosmic / Parilla) as the leader, then Dennis Hauger (CRG / Parilla) 2nd and Sami Taoufik (FA Kart / Vortex) 3rd. Fin Kenneally (FA Kart / Vortex) was 5th and Noah Watt (Tony Kart / Vortex) 10th. Hauger led ahead of Taoufik on lap 3, while Watt fell to 15th. Kiern Jewiss (Exprit / Vortex) had a good early race, already 9th ahead of Ulysses De Pauw (ART Birel / Parilla), as well as Adam Eteki (Tony Kart / Vortex) in 16th. Taoufik distanced Hauger distance who dropped to 6th shortly after Martins got 2nd in front of Kenneally. Positions tightened in the top three after halfway. De Pauw and Henrion retired. Martins took the lead on the 14th of 19 laps, while Kenneally took 2nd. Watt went up to 16th, but the fate of the Championship didn’t really depend on him. Teddy Wilson (CRG / Parilla) was 3rd ahead of Taoufik and Ivan Shvetsov (Tony Kart / Vortex), and Hauger went down to 6th position.

It was a superb victory for Victor Martins, which gave him 3rd place in the Championship, in front of Fin Kenneally who narrowly won the title from Watt, 14th in the race. Wilson finished 3rd, Taoufik 4th and Shvetsov 5th. David Vidales (Tony Kart / Vortex) moved up to 7th, Eteki 10th, Theo Pourchaire (Kosmic / Vortex) 12th, Milane Petelet (Praga / TM) 13th, Theo Nouet (Energy / TM) 20th, and Charles Milesi (Tony Kart / Vortex) 21st.
