No driver has really dominated in the heats of the U18 World Championship in Essay, as the the best score of two wins out of four races was achieved by Ovaska, Blom, Katajami and Roussel. Ultimately the leader of the standings, Pyry Ovaska (Maranello) was a hair ahead of the quick and experienced Dutch driver Dave Blom (Intrepid), who set the fastest time Saturday. The third is not a regular in international karting, Finland’s Tomi Katajamäki (Maranello), who is level on points and victories with Blom. In fourth, Niclas Nylund (Maranello) gave Finland and Maranello a great result with three drivers in the top 4.
Leo Roussel (Sodi) is back behind Antonio Giovinazzi (PCR) in 6th with his second place in the last race. With Graham seventh, Riener eighth, Mortensen 9th and Hubert 10th there is a great sample of talent in the pre-final. But this ranking is less significant in U18, as pre-final 2 will start in a completely reversed order from pre-final 1 … Guaranteeing a show for the spectators who begin to arrive in numbers at Essay, and maximum stress for drivers and teams.
