Jay Kostecki has dominated the Mini Under 10 class at the annual ROK Cup Superfinal in Italy.
After qualifying third, Kostecki (Energy) went undefeated in the preliminary heats and the pre-final to line up pole for a very wet final. After winning the start, Kostecki came under pressure from American Colton Schniegenberg (Tony Kart) who got by mid-race and temporarily pulled a gap. The final lap and a half was brilliant, the two kids trading places before the Australian held on for the win.

Jace Matthews was set to start the Senior final from P17, however his engine did not immediately fire. Heavy rain and standing water put the field under full course yellow but Matthews was disqualified for making positions before the start.
