European Championship Qualifying


  9 May 2015
 

Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega) and Sami Worship (FA Kart-Vortex-LeCont) have qualified fastest in Portugal at the opening round of the European CIK-FIA Championship for KF & KFJ

Australia's Oscar Piastri was a respectable 17th of the 63 KF-Junior entrants, and New Zealand's Marcus Armstrong was 24th in KF.

"Qualifying I was 6th in my group but after all three groups had gone out, I ended up 17th, a solid result" Oscar wrote on Facebook. "Tomorrow I have four heat races, where I will start from 7th in three of them and 8th in the other. The new bumpers will be tested tomorrow, hopefully the crazy starts are toned down a bit!"

KF

The three sessions of qualifying had three different leaders but, eventually, it was the Russian Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega) who set the fastest time on the 1,531 metre track. He stopped the clock at 56”545, beating into second position the English Tom Joyner (Zanardi-TM-Vega), only 24 milliseconds slower than the pole-sitter. Behind them, with a gap of nearly one tenth of a second, the Italian Felice Tiene (CRG-Parilla-Vega) and the English Ben Hanley (Croc-TM-Vega).
