PFI: last OK heats

The last three Qualifying Heats of the second round of the European OK Championship at PFI took place on Sunday morning in very nice and warm weather.

Luca Maisch (KR / Parilla) gave up control of heat E-F on the third lap and Kas Haverkort (CRG / TM) took the lead. Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG / TM) was fast approaching with Jonny Edgar (Exprit / TM) and Franck Chappard (Redspeed / Parilla) in his wheeltracks. After four laps, Edgar and Haverkort crashed and retired. Chappard continued on his way and overtook Hiltbrand to win the race, with Noah Milell (Tony Kart / Vortex) coming back very close to 3rd. Oliver Hodgson (Birel ART / Parilla) dropped to 15th.

Mattia Michelotto (KR / Parilla) quickly took the lead over Hannes Janker (KR / Parilla) early in the heat C-D, while Harry Thompson (FA Kart / Vortex) dropped out. The top two clashed several times in the penultimate lap, but Michelotto finally won against Janker, while Juho Valtanen (Kosmic / Vortex) finished 3rd in their wake. Dexter Patterson (Exprit / TM) kept his 4th place ahead of Mark Kimber (Tony Kart / Vortex).

Morgan Porter interposed between Lorenzo Travisanutto (KR / Parilla) and Danny Keirle (KR / Parilla) from the start of heat AB and went on to lead on the fourth lap, with Travisanutto coming 3rd under threat from David Vidales (Tony Kart / Vortex). Porter dropped to 4th. Keirle won with a comfortable lead, but Porter was now 2nd in front of Travisanutto and Vidales. Jules Mettetal (Redspeed / Parilla) finished 14th and Evann Spenle (Kosmic / Parilla) was 16th.
