KZ1 and KZ2 shine with Visser and Delli Compagni.
The young Dutch Beitske Visser (Intrepid-TM-Dunlop) made stirring the race that Daniele Delli Compagni (CRG-TM-Dunlop) aimed to dominate and a contest between the respective classes KZ1 and KZ2 got started. After sticking close to his opponent throughout the race, Visser launched her attack in the concluding laps and overtook Delli Compagni that however withstood up to the last moment. Behind them, Italian Riccardo Negro (DR-Parilla-Dunlop) and Croatian Kristijan Habulin (CRG-Maxter-Dunlop), performing effectively throughout the weekend, completed KZ2 podium. The rankings close with the winners Paolo De Conto from Treviso (Energy-TM-Dunlop) for KZ1 and Marco Zanchetta (CKR-TM-Dunlop) for KZ2.
As fast as lightning, Orudzhev closes KF2 season.
Neither Antonio Giovinazzi (PCR-Parilla-Vega) nor Stefano Cucco (Birel-Parilla-Vega), both of them shooting to win in KF2 ranking, could counter a speedy Egor Orudzhev (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega). The Russian boy, recovering gradually in the Final, was successful in catching up with the two leading Italian drivers and increasing steadily his lead, won the race. Giovinazzi tried to withstand Orudzhev, who showed to be faster anyway. The driver from Taranto, however, aimed at mounting the podium and successfully finishing ahead of Cucco, gained the definitive leadership in the ranking.
Hansson put the last seal on KF3.
Swedish Robin Hansson (Energy-TM-Vega) put all his effort into closing his consistent gap with KF3 ranking leader Italian Antonio Fuoco (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega). He made it with a clear win in both Prefinal and Final and succeeded in wiping out the gap with the leader. After a third place in Prefinal, Fuoco was involved in an off-track at the start in the Final that made him lose several positions. The driver from Cosenza pulled up with difficulty and finished in 15th place, which was enough to retain the leadership of his class with only a one-point lead. Thanks to his skilful performance, Hansson mounted the podium along with British Connor Jupp (Energy-TM-Vega) and Danish Nicklas Nielsen (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega), but most of all, he topped off his season in the WSK Master Series with a richly deserved second place.
