The KFJ is still very uncertain

The two heats on schedule tomorrow morning will be crucial for the pole positions of the two Prefinals. In fact, the eight heats run today were too uncertain and none of the drivers emerged as the favourite for the final victory. There were too many protagonists, which made any attempt of prediction useless. There were five different winners in the heats: the Italian Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart-TM-Vega), the German David Beckmann (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega) and the Venezuelan Mauricio Baiz (Exprit-Vortex-Vega), the pole-sitter after qualifying, won two heats each. The Russian Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega) and the American Logan Sargeant (FA Kart-Vortex-Vega) won a heat each.
