Pex/CRG Take KZ World Championship


  14 September 2015
   

CRG's Jorrit Pex won the KZ World Championship overnight at LeMans. The Dutchman beat home team mate Paolo De Conto and Tony Kart's Marco Ardigo - though Ardigo was later penalised, elevating local Sodi driver Arnaud Kozlinski to third.

Australia's Jason Faint started 28th in his KZ2 pre-final but was involved in an openng lap skirmish that put him to the rear of the field. The JC Kart driver needed to finish 17th to ensure a transfer to the final and wasn't far off the target by the end of the 15-lap journey, eventually classified 21st.

Patrizicorse's Mirko Torsellini was 13th for Ricciardo Kart in the KZ final.

Spanish Xavier Lloveras won the last round of the Karting Academy Trophy while another Spaniard, Marta Garcia, earned the championship.

The race was attended by FIA President Jean Todt and CIK-FIA Vice President, Kees Van De Grint. The day started with showers but the rain stopped after the Prefinals.

 

press release

Jorrit Pex is the new World KZ Champion

It was a gripping final the one won by the Dutch Jorrit Pex. The French Arnaud Kozlinski (Sodi-TM-Bridgestone) was the quickest at the start: he gained the lead of the race from the second row closely pursued by the pole-sitter Paolo De Conto (CRG-Maxter-Bridgestone). The Italian driver hauled himself to the head of the race after few laps, followed by Pex while, after a start from the fifth row, the Italian Marco Ardigò (Tony Kart-Vortex) gained ground thanks to a series of fast laps.

The reigning champion closed the gap with the two leaders with few laps remaining. A tough battle followed, a battle won by Pex on De Conto and Ardigò right on the last lap. The end of the race was uttelry disappointing for Ardigò: he got hit by a penalty because the front bodywork of his kart came detached. So the third position was scored by Kozlinski.

Laurent wins the KZ2 Super Cup

Thomas Laurent won after a lonely ride. He started from the pole-position in the CIK-FIA International KZ2 Super Cup Final and won over the new European Champion Joel Johannsson (Energy-TM-LeCont). The Swede remained always behind the winner and finished in second position. The Spanish Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG-Maxter-Le Cont), who was in third position on the last lap, was hit by an after race penalty which forced him to leave the position to the Italian Alberto Cavalieri (Righetti Ridolfi-Modena).
