It is a big pot the one built up by WSK for the second round of the WSK Master Series, hosted on the International Circuit Napoli in Sarno, near Salerno in Southern Italy. From 4th to 7th April, kart racing champions and even Formula 1 stars – who never miss the chance to drive a kart again – will race on the track at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.
Schumacher and Alguersuari come back to Sarno. The Dutch Max Verstappen (CRG-TM-Bridgestone) and the Italian Paolo De Conto (Birel-TM-Bridgestone) are the two standings leaders (in this order) of the KZ2 category after the first round of Muro Leccese of last 3rd February. The Dutch Bas Lammers, one of the category top drivers, wants to join the race towards the title and, in Sarno, he will be back with his previous kart brand: he will race behind the wheel of an Intrepid kart powered by TM. Anyway, the successful beginning of the WSK season seems to have had further positive effects. Just have a look at the names of the KZ2 entrants, starting with Jaime Alguersuari (Intrepid-TM-Bridgestone). The Spaniard, former Toro Rosso driver, while waiting for his probable comeback to F1 in the 2014 World Championship, did not miss the chance to drive a kart again. He chose Sarno, one of his favourite racetracks, even though there are other big names such as those brought on the Italian circuit by Tony Kart: the Italian Marco Ardigò and the Belgian Rick Dreezen, together with the other Italian Flavio Camponeschi. The entry list is even more interesting when we realize that the Italian kart manufacturer has – again – Michael Schumacher among his drivers. The German champion participated in all the previous WSK events, even though he only took part in free practice. He hasn’t made any decision yet about his participation in the other phases of the racing weekend. In that case, he should undergo scrutineering and then get ready for the race. Only on Thursday we’ll know whether Schumacher will run right in Sarno, when the list of the scrutineered drivers will be made official.
