Both heats in KZ2 on Saturday are now complete, the first damp and the second completely soaked. This didn’t prevent the Lithuanian Simas Juodvirsis (Energy / TM) winning twice, the first from Riccardo Negro (DR / TM) and Alexandre Arrue (Righetti / TM), the second against Martin Doubek (Praga / TM ) and Marco Pastacaldi (Kosmic / Vortex). The French driver Arrue found himself in 2nd place in the intermediate classification ahead of Doubek, Negro and Celenta. The second heat had a high drop-out rate with 11 drivers at the end out of the 25 starting.
In KZ1, Ciro Mollo (CRG / TM), was last on the grid and had the bright idea to put on his wet tyres at the start of heat 1, which allowed him to overtake his opponents one by one and he went on to win, getting ahead of the slick runners including Anthony Abbasse (Sodi / Maxter) on the last lap. Rick Dreezen (Tony Kart / Vortex) finished third ahead of Jonathan Thonon (CRG / Maxter) who had made a great start. The fastest lap was achieved by Sauro Cesetti (Top Kart / Parilla) despite its retirement after 2 laps. In heat 2, Kozlinski (PCR / TM) retired on the first lap, with a bent axle in a crash, losing places so Thonon and Abbasse were in the lead, then Abbasse retired with a broken gearbox. Bas Lammers (Praga / Parilla) overtook followed by Joey Hanssen (Lenzo / TM). Ben Hanley (ART GP / TM) returned to third ahead of Zdenek Groman (Kosmic / Vortex), Yannick De Brabander (Formula K / TM) and Beitske Visser (Intrepid / TM). Lammers will start from pole for the final on Saturday evening with Dreezen at his side, ahead of Hanssen, Visser, Thonon and Ardigo.
