Matveev (OK), Iliffe (OKJ, Calleja (MINI Gr.3), Legenkyi (MINI Gr.3 U10), Apicella (OK-N) and Hoogendoorn (OKNJ) claimed the pole positions of the second round of the WSK Euro Series.

Sarno (ITA), 3.11.2023
The second round of the WSK Euro Series at the International Circuit Napoli in Sarno began with a rainy eve, but when it was time to get serious in the Friday afternoon's qualifying sessions, the sun returned, and the track dried up. With the asphalt finally dry, everyone could fully showcase their competitiveness.

The titles of the WSK Euro Series are up for grabs in the MINI, OKJ, OK, OK-N and OK-NJ categories this weekend in Sarno. The outcome is highly uncertain, partly due to the allocation of points, which is significantly higher than the first event held in Franciacorta on September 3rd, with a total of 153 points available for the first-place finisher across heats, pre-finals, and finals.
