HILTBRAND SIXTH IN KF AFTER A GOOD WEEKEND
A great performance was put in by the Spaniard Pedro Hiltbrand in KF at the wheel of the CRG Gem Star chassis, as he has always been among the quickest at PFI. He claimed the second place of his series in qualifying (fourth absolute), the third after heats and the third in the Prefinal. In the Final, he placed himself in P3 but had unfortunately to concede some meters towards the end of a tight race and had to settle for the final P6, but Hiltbrand confirmed anyway his speed throughout the weekend.

The KF Final did not give much space for a good result to Felice Tiene. He fought for the top positions after recouping well from P12 of the Prefinal and brilliant qualifying heats that saw him completing his effort in P5 which earned him 6 points for the championship. Unfortunately, while gaining some positions and when close to Hiltbrand, Tiene had a contact with the Dutch Martijn Van Leeuwen (P7) of team CRG Keijzer Racing closing his run off track.
Archie Tillett had also to retire eight laps in the Final, after he had to run the second chance race and recovering well in Prefinal up to the 19th place. The German Hannes Janker of team TB Motorsport ended in the top ten closing his effort in 10th place. Benjamin Lessennes ended 13th after a troubled start.
