Snow and ice has forced organisers to abandon the heat racing at the opening round of the WSK Super Master Series in Italy. A WSK press release said the sudden worsening weather condition in the province of Pavia made the racing conditions unsafe.
After qualifying was completed on Friday, a number of heats were raced on Saturday, but these will no longer count. Sunday's schedule will be pre-finals and Finals with grids based on the initial qualifying times.

Two Australian are competing at the event - Oscar Piastri (FA/Vortex) in OK-Junior and Marcos Flack (CRG/TM) in 60 Mini.
Piastri qualified 12th out of 64 juniors while Flack was 31st of 72 entries in 60Mini. New Zealand's Marcus Armstrong (Tony Kart/Vortex) is 5th in KZ/KZ2.

The pole-sitters are still the Italian Paolo De Conto (CRG-Maxter-Vega), with his fellow countryman Marco Ardigò (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega) in second position in the KZ. This category will race in combination with the KZ2, where the Italian Luca Corberi (Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega) topped the list of the fastest drivers.
In the OK category, the pole was grabbed by the American Logan Sargeant (FA Kart-Vortex-Vega); next to him in first row will start the Spanish Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG-Parilla-Vega).
In OK Junior the pole-sitter is the Belgian Ulysse De Paw (BirelArt-Parila-Vega), with the English Fin Kenneally (FA Kart-Vortex-Vega) filling the second slot, while in the 60 Mini the front row is occupied by the French Evann Mallet (CRG-TM-Vega) in pole position, and Francesco Crescente (EvoKart-TM-Vega) on his side.
