from WSK press release

It was an eventful day, full of gripping heats: 24 were the races which were run at the Adria Karting Raceway to establish the starting grids of tomorrow’s WSK Final Cup Pre-finals and their six pole-sitters. All the races took place with summerlike weather: heated climate also on track, with breath-taking battles which are only a foretaste of what is going to happen in tomorrow’s finale.

Hat-trick for Ardigò in KZ2

In KZ2, the Italian Marco Ardigò won today’s three heats and he will be the pole-sitter in tomorrow’s Pre-final. Next to him his fellow countryman Alessio Piccini (both on TonyKart-Vortex-Vega), always in the three top positions in all the heats. Second row, after his good results in qualifying, for the Italian Francesco Iacovacci (Luxor-LKE-Vega), ahead of the New Zealander Marcus Armstrong (TonyKart-Vortex).

Basz aims at success in OK

The Polish Karol Basz (Kosmic-Vortex-Vega) definitely aims at winning the trophy: he won twice today. The British Clement Novalak (Tony Kart-Vortex) will try to foil his plans of victory: he won the third heat and he will fill the second slot on the grid of the Pre-final, with Basz in pole position. Behind them the Italian Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart-Vortex) and the Finnish Paavo Tonteri (CRG-Parilla), the most consistent drivers of the pack on a day which was full of troubles for the frontrunners.

Caglioni leads the pack in the 60 Mini

The long list of the 73 entrants of the 60 Mini found its leader: the Italian Leonardo Caglioni (Evokart-TM-Vega), winner in three heats. Two victories for the American Ugo Ugochukwu (Energy-Iame). The two drivers will be the pole-sitters of the Pre-finals A and B: next to them the Spanish Jose Gomez Hernandez and the French Evann Mallet (both on CRG-TM): they both won once today.
