After the 12 heats run on Saturday that decided the 30 finalists of the Prefinal and Final “A” and the 30 finalists of Final “B”, the victory went to the South African driver Saood Variawa, on Zanardi, who managed to pip to the flag the Greek driver Timotheos Dimitriou, on Tony Kart, as the latter has been leading the final laps. The third step of the podium went to a great Leonardo Caglioni, on Evokart, who has showed good progress once again. One of the main protagonists, Leonardo Marseglia on Evokart, ended fourth as he had to start the Final from the back due to a 5 seconds Penalty he was handed in the Prefinal where he has been among the quickest. Marseglia managed anyway to claim the victory in the final classification of the Brigestone Supercup. Mattia Michelotto, on Energy, took the victory in the Prefinal but then ended the Final in the back. The fifth place went to Federico Checchi (Tony Kart) ahead of Gabriele Minì (CRG).
