The battle for in the WSK standings is getting heated in qualifying

The third round of the WSK Super Master Series started today in Muro Leccese and there are great expectations for a spectacular show. None of the current leaders of the four categories - KZ2, KF, KF Junior and 60 Mini – feels safe: everything is still at stake. The International Circuit La Conca is ready for the spring racing season: the 190 entrants are perfectly aware how sensitive their karts are to temperature variation. This is an aspect which already had its effect on today’s drivers’ performance: the final results are going to be unpredictable.

De Conto leads in KZ2

The Italian Paolo De Conto (CRG-Maxter-Vega), the fastest in KZ2 thanks to his 45”472, threw a challenge to the current leader of the standings, the Italian Marco Ardigò  (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega). Ardigò set the fourth time, 103 milliseconds behind De Conto, while the English Jordon Lennox-Lamb (BirelArt-Parilla-Vega) occupies the second position with a gap of only 31 milliseconds, ahead of the Belgian Rick Dreezen (Ricciardo-Parilla-Vega).

Basz is only seventh, while the English Max Fewtrell (FA-Vortex-Vega) and the Russian Alex Vartanyan (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega) performed well and set the second and third time respectively.

Sargeant is closing the gap in KFJ

Today’s top driver in KFJ was the American Logan Sargeant (FA-Vortex-Vega): thanks to his 46”865, he became the most dangerous rival for the English Clement Novalak (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega), the current leader. The Brit had some trouble and only managed to set poor times, which relegated him down in the ranking. Other underdogs made themselves conspicuous in this category: 2nd and 3rd time for the Danish drivers Christian Lundgaard (Tony Kart-Vortex) and Noah Watt (FA-Vortex) respectively.

Fusco is outstanding in 60 Mini

In the free practice session of the 60 Mini, which has its qualifying scheduled for tomorrow, the Italian Giuseppe Fusco (Tony Kart-TM-Vega) was often the fastest. Together with him, the Norwegian Dennis Hauger (CRG-TM), the current leader of the category, and a new name, the Italian Federico Cecchi (Tony Kart-TM-Vega).
