Hiltbrand wins the 2017 WSK Champions Cup in OK

Karol Basz (Kosmic / Vortex) had a tough start to the race, as did Theo Pourchaire (Kosmic / Vortex) and their team-mate Noah Milell (Kosmic / Vortex) took charge of the Final at Adria. But the competition was more pressing and, on the 7th lap, he had to give up the lead to Pedro Hiltbrand (Tony Kart / Vortex) followed by Sami Taoufik (FA Kart / Vortex). Lorenzo Travisanutto (Zanardi / Parilla) and Paavo Tonteri (Tony Kart / Vortex) had overtaken Ulysse De Pauw (Kosmic / Parilla), but he was gradually gaining ground, while David Vidales (Tony Kart / Vortex) climbed to 6th position. Taoufik passed Hiltbrand for the lead, but the defending World Champion replied and took off as the battle raged behind him. Travisanutto defeated Taoufik who demoted to 6th, with De Pauw passing for 3rd in front of Milell and Clément Novalak (Tony Kart / Vortex). Hiltbrand won despite the return of Travisanutto, with De Pauw rising to the third step of the podium. It was a half and half race for Victor Martins (Kosmic / Parilla) in 8th at the finish, but who set the fastest lap. Adam Eteki (Zanardi / Parilla) climbed from 25th to 16th, while Pourchaire had to settle for 21st place. Taoufik did not take the finish line.
