As is customary in this competition, Friday morning is reserved for the briefing given by the Race Director and the Edukart programme. After receiving the subject for study, Drivers are invited to answer multiple-choice questions relating to the regulations, combating drugs or the history of karting. The three Drivers who correctly answer all the questions in the fastest time are awarded podium positions (and cash prizes) on Sunday. For the U18 World Championship, these are the Italian Armando Iannaccone, Bahrain’s Ali Mohammed Al-Khalifa and the Briton Sam Webster. As for the younger competitors for the CIK-FIA Academy Trophy, the top scorers were Thomas Michael Bale, representing the United Arab Emirates, the Italian Enrico Pillon and the Russian Alexander Maslennikov.
In the afternoon, Non-Qualifying Practice confirmed what observers had expected: the contest will be extremely open in the U18 category, in which the Finn Ville Mäntylä (Energy) and the Briton Henry Easthope (Sodi) were fastest. But the Frenchman Anthoine Hubert (FK), the Briton Matthew Graham (Zanardi), the Monegasque Charles Leclerc (ART GP) and the Frenchman Jules Gounon (Sodi), to mention just a few, confirmed that they will also be in the reckoning. For the Academy Trophy, the Briton George Russell has already established himself as the man to beat, but the young Finn Joonas Lappalainen also showed his pace. In reality, many Drivers can dream of leading positions, from Qualifying Practice on Saturday morning … so there will be no lack of suspense for the opening competitions before the Championship moves on France (Angerville, 24-26 August) and Bahrain (Sakhir, 8-10 November).
