KF2
5 out of the 6 Parilla drivers qualified for the finals. Once again the best performance is by Antonio Giovinazzi (Top Kart/Parilla).
He was already Masters Series Champion with a round to spare and finishes the final of the III round in a spectacular 5th place; spectacular because he started from the 32nd place following an accident in the pre-final and with his constant overtakings he even reaches 3rd for a while and clocks the best lap time on the way. He also did well in the heats finishing 10th overall with a 1st, 2nd and 22nd place (due to the accident). Great comeback for Tereshchenko (Gillard/Parilla), he was 22nd after the heats and 7th in the final.
Cucco also did well (Birel/Parilla): he finished 7th, (with best lap time), 3rd and 12th in the heats and finishes 5th in the pre-final, but some unlucky contacts during the final cause him to drop back to 13th place at the finishing line. Placements for Vusurovic (DR/Parilla) and Runov (Gillard/Parilla).
KF3
IAME is the star of the show with the victory of the Title, won by Nielsen (DR/Parilla), Lavelli’s (Top Kart/Parilla) win of the race and, at the end of the Championship, four drivers in the top 11 overall positions. Nielsen is already very fast in the heats: 3rd place (the result of two wins, a 3rd place and a 7th place).
In the pre-final and in the final he is always up to the top and finishes 2nd in both, collecting the points he needed to take the title. Lavelli is by far the fastest on the track: in all four heats he clocks the best lap time, even if he is forced to retire in one of the heats following an accident. In the pre-final he finishes 12th, then in the final he makes a brilliant comeback and drives to victory.
Vita (DR/Parilla) also does very well, finishing the heats in the lead after a 1st place and three 2nd places (also with best lap time in two heats): in the pre-final he does a great race (3rd) but in the final he pays for few contacts (9th). Stupenkov (Gillard/Parilla) and Brasseur (DR/Parilla) also do well in the final, 13th and 15th respectively.
60 Mini
4 Parilla drivers reach the final. Luca Bottarelli (Maranello/Parilla) does well in the heats (even if penalized in one), finishing in 8th overall position; his best performance comes in the two races of the day: 12th in the pre-final, clocking the best lap time, and 6th in the final.
The three Top Kart/Parilla drivers perform well too: Petrut is 28th after the heats (he is knocked out of one due to an accident, despite clocking the best lap time), but due to his spectacular lapping (two tenths faster than the leaders), he finishes the final in 7th place. The two Turkish drivers, Guven and Besler, do well in the heats but pay for their excitement and some contacts in the pre-final and recover some positions in the final, finishing 19th and 20th and driving (Besler) with the same lap times as the leaders.
THE COMMENT - ANDREA BOSSAGLIA - IAME TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
“Progress and confirmations for our material at Castelletto di Branduzzo; progress for our Parilla 60cc Miniswift that continues to grow race after race, thanks to all the technicians who are constantly developing and track testing it. Confirmation for Reedster2 which, after taking the WSK Masters KF2 title, received this important recognition in KF3 as well, with an exciting performance on the track. My sincere thanks go to the drivers and Team Managers who, event after event, have made this amazing result possible.
