ALEX POWELL ON TOP IN 60 MINI.
Alex Powell (Energy-TM) is the surprise of 60 Mini, category that the Jamaican driver has been dominating winning all his 5 heats. The British driver Coskun Irfan (Parolin-TM) secured two wins and completed the front row of Prefinal A, leading the Dutch Ean Eyckmans and Arab Emirates’ Keanu Al Azhari (both on Parolin-TM). The Italian Brando Badoer (Parolin-TM-Vega) secured the pole position of Prefinal B as he claimed four wins, while the Swede Joel Bergstrom (IP Karting-TM) will join him in the front row. Behind them, Andrea Filaferro (BirelArt-TM) and Cristian Bertuca (Parolin-TM) completed an all Italian second row.

JAMES WHARTON SURPRISING OK JUNIOR.
The positive impression made yesterday in OKJ was confirmed today by the Australian James Wharton (FA-Vortex-Vega), who secured the pole position of Prefinal A thanks to two wins. Alongside him, the Swede Norton Andreasson (KR-Parilla) also claimed one win, while the Colombian Diego Contecha (Parolin-TM) and the Brit Taylor Barnard (KR-Parilla) complete the second row. The Dutch Thomas Ten Brinke (FA Kart-Vortex), claimed one win and two P2s in the heats and will start Prefinal B from the pole position, with the Italian Gabriele Minì (Parolin-TM) alongside him after a regular series of races. Behind them, the second row will be occupied by the Russian Nikita Bedrin (Tony Kart-Vortex), who was the quickest yesterday but this morning struggled a lot in the first heat, before winning the following three races.

LORENZO TRAVISANUTTO, STILL ON TOP IN OK.
The Italian Lorenzo Travisanutto (KR-Parilla-Bridgestone) kept the lead in OK thanks to three wins in as many heats. He, therefore, secured the pole position for Prefinal A with the Dane Nicklas Nielsen (Praga-Vortex) set to start alongside him thanks to P2s. The second row will be occupied by the Italian Luigi Coluccio (BirelArt-TM) and Barbados’ Zane Maloney (FA Kart-Vortex), as the latter won the closing heat. Prefinal B’s pole position went to the British driver Dexter Patterson (KR-Parilla), who will have the Swede Dino Beganovic (Tony Kart-Vortex) alongside him. Both secured one win each. Gabriel Bortoleto and Kas Haverkort (both on CRG-TM) had a good day too and secured a second-row start.

BAS LAMMERS CHARGING IN KZ2.
Bas Lammers (SodiKart-TM-Bridgestone) bounced back as expected in KZ2 and won all three races in the program. The Dutch driver secured, therefore, a pole position start for the Prefinal, while his teammate from France Anthony Abbasse was close to him in the first two heats before a hiccup in the third that relegated him low down the pack. The Italian Matteo Viganò (Tony Kart-Vortex) claimed a second and third as best results and will, therefore, line up alongside Lammers. The French Emilien Denner (Kalì Kart-TM) also secured some good results as the Finn Simo Puakka (Tony Kart-Vortex). These two sure contenders to the final win will start Prefinal from the second row of the grid.
