Tony Kart's Marco Ardigò is the 2014 KZ World Champion. The Italian beat home countryman Flavio Camponeschi to make a Tony Kart 1-2 with Zanardi's Rick Dreezen third. Meanwhile, Dutch drviers Ryan van der Burgt (DR-TM) and Richard Verschoor (Parolin-Fim) won the KZ2 Super Cup and Academy Trophy classes respectively.
Australia's Jason Faint bowed out of the KZ2 Super Cup after DNFing his pre-final. He needed to finish 17th or better to make the Final. "I got to 18th before I was driven over" he wrote on Facebook. "It bent my steering which slowed me down, (and) with no pace made me basic pray to the animals over here." He was nailed again later in the race, taking a tyre off the rim and putting him out of the event. "We had some good speed but got caught up one too many times" Faint's mechanic, Jon Targett, wrote.

Marco Ardigò wins in KZ
A brand new world title for Marco Ardigò, who was able to beat a pack of strong rivals in Sarno today, just before laying his hands on the title. It is the third world title for Ardigò, the first in KZ after the two successes in KF1 in 2007 and 2008.
Getting the title was not as easy as it might seem: few laps after the start he got overtaken by Paolo De Conto (Birel-TM-Bridgestone), who showed to be in great shape and kept the lead fending off Ardigò's counterattacks.
Immediately behind the two leaders, the Italian Flavio Camponeschi (Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone), the Belgian Rick Dreezen (Zanardi-Parilla-Bridgestone) and the Italian Mirko Torsellini (Birel-TM-Bridgestone) were ready for the battle. They had their chance after that Ardigò took the lead of the race back: De Conto was overtaken and he lost three positions. The two Tony Kart drivers kept the leadership until the end, ahead of Dreezen in third position.

Ryan van der Burgt wins the Super Cup KZ2
The victory in the CIK-FIA International Super Cup KZ2 was a matter between the two Dutch drivers who won the two Prefinals raced this morning: Menno Paauwe (Birel-TM-Bridgestone) and Ryan van der Burgt (DR-TM-Bridgestone). Van der Burgt had a better start and took the lead leaving his main rival behind. After few laps, Lorenzo Camplese (Maranello-TM-Bridgestone), in third position, began to outpace Paauwe, who had to give in and left the second place to the Italian.
The leader controlled the rest of the race, even though Camplese finished only two tenths of a second behind. So, Van der Burgt deservedly won the Cup, with Camplese in second position and Paauwe third. Behind them, outstanding performance for the Italian Luca Tilloca (Intrepid-Modena-Bridgestone), who started from the eighth position and finished fourth ahead of the Italian Francesco Celenta (Energy-TM-Bridgestone), the Danish Andreas Hansen (Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone) and the Spanish Jorge Pescador (Praga-Parilla-Bridgestone). The Spaniard, during the qualifying session, seemed the driver with the best chance to win the Cup.

Verschoor wins the race and the Academy Trophy
He made his bid for the victory after scoring the second place in the Prefinal and after dominating the qualifying session but not the heats: Richard Verschoor took the lead in the Final in the last round of Karting Academy Trophy winning, during the first laps, the duel against the Turkish Berkay Besler, his main rival. Verschoor kept the head of the race until the end, while Besler could not resist the Spanish Xavier Lloveras recovery. The Spaniard started from the seventh position and, little by little, managed to close the gap and scored the second position, just ahead of the Turkish. Thanks to this victory in Sarno, Verschoor conquered the Academy Trophy.
