The KF alternated their time trials with KF-Junior. Richard Verschoor (Exprit / Vortex) unsurprisingly dominated the first session, with a lap of 54”188, closely followed by Juho Valtanen (Kosmic / Vortex), Casper Roes (FA Kart / Vortex) who finished 3rd by 2/10, Ben Hanley (Croc Promotions / TM) in 4th position on the last lap and Tuomas Happalainen (Croc Promotions / TM) took the 5th place.
Tom Joyner (Zanardi / TM), Jordon Lennox-Lamb (BirelART / Parilla) and Martijn Van Leeuwen (CRG / TM) were at the top of the second session with Ben Barnicoat (BirelART / Parilla) not far away. Felice Tiene (CRG / Parilla) then joined the quartet. Barnicoat improved at the end, but Tiene had the last word with 54”605, 31 thousandths ahead of Van Leeuwen, with Barnicoat 3rd, Joyner 4th, and Bard Verkroost (Croc Promotions / TM) 5th. This session was far slower than the previous one.
Despite the even lower temperature, the third session was more productive than the second. Nicklas Nielsen (Tony Kart / Vortex) was one of the main protagonists along with Pedro Hiltbrand (CRG / Parilla), Lorenzo Travisanutto (Tony Kart / TM) and Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart / Vortex). Nielsen ended in the lead – 54”231 – 0.169” from Hiltbrand and Travisanutto who were tied, Leonardo Lorandi 4th and Vartanyan (Tony Kart / Vortex) 5th.
Although Verschoor retained pole position, Nielsen seized 2nd place overall ahead of Valtanen, Hiltbrand 4th, Travisanutto 5th, Vartanyan 6th, Roes 7th and Hanley 8th. Tiene was 16th, Karol Basz (Kosmic / Vortex) 20th, Joyner 23rd, Lennox-Lamb 25th, ahead of Benjamin Lessennes (CRG / Parilla), Thibault Haublin (Kosmic / Parilla) 37th and Alexandre Gadois (Kosmic / Parilla) 38th.
