With four classes, 29 nationalities and 246 entries, the statistics of the 23rd Margutti Trophy held for the first time at South Garda Karting in Lonato suggests a very good year.
Among the 70 entered in KZ2 there are several names that can be accorded the status of favorite. The British driver Jordon Lennox-Lamb (CRG / Maxter), the Italians Massimo Dante (CKR / TM), Leonardo Fuoco (BRM / Maxter), Marco Bellanca (Energy / TM), Fabian Federer and Mirko Torsellini (CRG / Maxter), Luca Tilloca (Kali Kart / TM), Massimo Aceto (PM / TM) and the French driver Alexandre Arrue (Righetti / Pavesi). We have also noted the presence of Cyndie Allemann (RK / TM), Kenny Charles (Merlin / TM) and Henri Kokko (Ninar / TM).
With drivers of the stature of Max Verstappen (Intrepid / TM), Felice Tiene (CRG / BMB), Charles Leclerc (ART GP / Parilla), Tom Joyner (LH / BMB), Antonio Giovinazzi and Nicolaj Moller-Madsen (Tony Kart / TM), Sami Luka (FA Kart / TM), Andrew Tang (Kosmic / TM), the KF2s look like the very best in the world this year. It will be a good test for the French drivers Erwan Julé (DR / TM) and Nicolas Gonzales (PM / TM).
Callum Ilott and Lance Stroll (Zanardi / Parilla), George Rusell and Dorian Boccolacci (Intrepid / TM), Alex Palou (CRG / BMB), Alessio Lorandi (Tony Kart / Vortex), Connor Jupp and Felix Nilsson (Energy / TM) Luca Corberi (Kosmic / Vortex), the KF3 field will be spectacular in the European events to come.
