THRILLING FINALE OF THE WSK EURO SERIES IN GENK. It looked like drivers were driving in the most important race of their career: they all did their best to succeed in the fourth and last round of the 2013 WSK Euro Series run in Genk (B). There were drivers battling for the championship or just for the podium: whichever the goal, the 170 drivers did not spare themselves. The WSK weekend in Flanders was spectacular and thrilling, either seen from the stand of the Horensbergdam Circuit or on the wsk.it website, which broadcast the live streaming of the event.
FORÈ COMES BACK TO VICTORY LANE. VERSTAPPEN WINS THE SERIES IN KZ1. Max Verstappen (CRG-TM-Bridgestone), young and promising Dutch driver, arrived in Genk aiming at the KZ1 success. The target was hit thanks to his victory in Final 1. Davide Forè (CRG-TM-Bridgestone), the Italian champion with a long experience in kart racing, wanted to add this victory to his long list of honours. He, too, hit the target winning Final 2. Between these two events a lot happened: Verstappen had to stop in one of the morning heats, then he recovered until the podium in Final 2 despite a damaged bumper and, finally, he got disqualified for the very same damaged bumper. Anyway, the disqualification had no consequences on the final standings. On the other hand, the poleman, the Belgian Rick Dreezen (Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone) had to stop after the start, while his teammate, the Italian Marco Ardigò, had to leave his second position to the Belgian Jonathan Thonon (CRG-TM-Bridgestone). Third, after Verstappen's disqualification, the Czech Patrik Hajek (Praga-Parilla-Bridgestone).

JOHANSSON IS THE WINNER IN KZ2. NEGRO WINS THE SERIES. Two wins in today's heats and the participation in Final 2 did not seem enough for Riccardo Negro (DR-TM-Bridgestone) to win the Series in KZ2. In the decisive race the Italian driver needed to finish ahead of another Italian, Marco Zanchetta (Maranello-TM-Bridgestone): the Series would go to the driver who achieved the best result. Negro gained the lead at the start, but then he had to surrender to the pressure of the Swedish Joel Johansson (Energy-TM-Bridgestone). Johansson was the half race leader, while Negro got overtaken also by his teammate, the Norwegian Emil Antonsen. Then, to keep the third position, he had to fend off the attacks of Zanchetta, who eventually did not manage to pass his rival. So, Johansson finished first, followed by Antonsen and Negro, who stepped onto the podium as winner of the Series in KZ2.

NIELSEN WINS THE KF FINAL, BOCCOLACCI THE SERIES. After dominating the heats in KF, the Danish Nicklas Nielsen (Kosmic-Vortex-Vega) surrendered to the French Dorian Boccolacci (Energy-TM-Vega), but then won the Final. Nielsen got an early lead and finished first ahead of the British Ben Barnicoat (ART GP-TM-Vega) and the Russian Vasily Romanov (Energy-TM-Vega). Boccolacci placed fourth, a result which allowed him to win the Series.

BECKMANN IS THE KFJ FINAL WINNER, BUT NORRIS KEEPS THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SERIES. German, at his first international success, David Beckmann (Zanardi-BMB-Vega) succeeded in winning a tough Series such the WSK Euro Series. After winning several heats, Beckmann finished his weekend winning the Final too; only the French Gabriel Aubry (Birel-TM-Vega) - the runner-up ahead of the Canadian Parker Thomposon (Energy-TM-Vega) - kept up with him, but only during the first laps. Given his remarkable lead, the Final had no influence on the category leadership of the British Lando Norris (FA Kart-Vortex-Vega), winner of the Series.

THE FINALE OF GENK ON RAI SPORT 2. After the live streaming aired by the official website www.wsk.it, on Friday 7th June, at midnight, the WSK TV Magazine on Rai Sport 2 with the recap of the race in Genk.
