Bas Lammers is the king of the KZ2
Bas Lammers (Sodi-TM-Bridgestone), with the 3rd place scored in Sarno, ended with a bang the Series and won in KZ2. He grabbed the leadership in the second round of Castelletto and can boast a victory in a Final and in two Prefinals. Lammers overtook his team-mate, the French Anthony Abbasse, who was the leader in the season-opener. Excellent end for the Czech Patrik Hajek (Kosmic-Vortex), the runner-up ahead of Abbasse, thanks to 2 victories in the Finals of the last two rounds.
Clement Novalak succeeds in OK
Also Clement Novalak (Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone) won in OK thanks to a victory in the Final in the second round, when the driver – holder of an English licence – passed the Belgian Ulysse De Pauw (Kosmic-Parilla) in the standings.
