It was a bit of a tough weekend for the Australians at the second round of the WSK Super Master Series at Sarno last weekend.
Sebastian Eskandari made a strong start, qualifying 7th in his debut in the OK-Junior class. Unfortunately he was DQ’d from the final for having no transponder. Also in OK-J, William Calleja started P22 but crashed out on the opening lap.
In Mini, Jay Kostecki moved forward from his qualifying position to make the final, finishing 32nd.
