It was raining again at Adria for the OK-Junior Prefinals at the WSK Champions Cup. Ivan Shvetsov (Tony Kart / Vortex) immediately took control of Prefinal A, while Peter Ptacek (Formula K / Parilla), who started from 11th position, gave his all to take 2nd place from Pavel Bulantsev (Tony Kart /Vortex). But the Czech driver fell to 6th place due to a spoiler penalty. Ulysses De Pauw (Birel ART / Parilla) was in 4th position ahead of Frederik Vesti (Exprit / Vortex) and finally passed Bulantsev to recover 2nd position.
Leonardo Marseglia (Tony Kart / Vortex) didn’t complete a lap, and Dmitry Bogdanov (FA Kart / Vortex) made a mistake. Milan Petelet (Praga / Parilla) perfectly completed his mission with a climb of 14 places that led to 8th position. Franck Chappard (Kosmic / Vortex) showed great consistency by finishing 13th and Gillian Henrion (Kosmic / Vortex) finished 17th before being demoted to 19th because of a spoiler penalty. After a bad start, Theo Nouet (Energy / TM) fought like crazy to win back 13 places and narrowly failed to qualify in 20th position at the finish line.
There was a great fight between Charles Milesi (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Sami Taoufik (FA Kart / Vortex) at the start of Prefinal B. Rasmus Lindh (Ricciardo / Parilla) was trying to contain the onslaught on Fin Kenneally (FA Kart / Vortex) but in vain and Caio Collet (Birel ART / Parilla) and Timothy Peisselon (FA Kart / Vortex) struggled with Alessandro Giardelli (Tony Kart / LKE) for 6th. Victor Martins had some difficult first laps and Theo Pourchaire gave up after two laps.
Peisselon attacked Lindh then Collet for 4th place, while Thomas Mialane (Energy / TM) was close to qualifying. At the front Milesi attacked Taoufik then Kenneally passed both of them. Martins managed to recover after a spin but retired soon after. Kenneally won, Milesi finished 2nd, Taoufik 10th with a 10” penalty, so Peisselon took 3rd position. There was a great recovery for Noah Watt (Tony Kart / Vortex) in 9th place, and Mialane managed to take a superb 13th position with some penalties distributed in front of him.
