Camponeschi's treble in KZ2
Flavio Camponeschi (Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone), after the heats, seems to be the driver to beat in KZ2. The Italian driver from Rome has been in peak form since the beginning of the season and, today, he won all the three races he took part in. He will be the pole-sitter in Prefinal A, while Marco Ardigò, his teammate, achieved the same result for the Prefinal B thanks to two victories. Winning the Final will be tough for everybody as there are many drivers who can aim at success and that fill the slots of the top positions on the starting grids of the two Prefinals: next to Camponeschi there is the French Arnaud Kozlinski (Intrepid-TM-Bridgestone), while the second row is occupied by the English Ben Hanley (Art GP-TM-Bridgestone) and the Italian Riccardo Negro (Top Kart-TM-Bridgestone). The Belgian Rick Dreezen (Zanardi-Parilla-Bridgestone) will start by Ardigò's side, while the two Italian drivers Paolo De Conto (Birel-TM-Bridgestone) and Felice Tiene (CRG-Maxter-Bridgestone) will start from the second row. They are all big names of international karting, but also the other 20 drivers on the starting grid are eager to battle for victory.
Nielsen wins in KF
The Danish Nicklas Nielsen (Kosmic-Vortex-Dunlop) achieved the best results in KF. He won one of the heats and will start form the pole position of the Prefinal A. Next to him, the English Callum Ilott (Zanardi-Parilla-Dunlop). In second row the British Ollie Norris (FA Kart-Vortex) and the Chinese Yfan Xia (Tony Kart-TM-Dunlop). The Polish Karol Basz (Tony Kart-Vortex-Dunlop) put in a very consistent performance and clinched the pole in the Prefinal B; next to him the Finnish Niko Kari (Tony Kart-Vortex-Dunlop) while the Russian Nikita Mazepin (Tony Kart-Vortex-Dunlop) and Nikita Sitnikov (Tony Kart-Parilla-Dunlop) are in second row. Tomorrow's races will tell us if these drivers will be able to confirm today's performance.
