The Finals and the winners of the WSK Super Master Series, Round-2.
KZ2 – Denner comes back and wins.
In the final, with no rain but still on a wet track, the Frenchman Emilien Denner (#11 Sodikart/Sodi-TM Kart-Vega) emerged victorious, relentless in securing the win after a strong performance in the qualifying phases. The initial standout, Italian Cristian Bertuca (#1 BirelART Racing/BirelART-TM Kart), had to relinquish the lead around one-third into the race, ultimately conceding the second position to Denner's teammate, fellow Italian Giuseppe Palomba (#12 Sodikart/Sodi-TM Kart), who also made a notable comeback to secure second place on the podium. Bertuca finished in third place but, with his victory in the first round in Lonato, kept the lead in the standings with a significant advantage. The Estonian Markus Kajak (#14 Maranello SRP/Maranello-TM Kart) claimed fourth place, followed by Artem Severiukhin (#5 BirelART Racing/BirelART-TM Kart), the Dutch driver Marijn Kremers (#35 Tony Kart Racing Team/OTK-Vortex) and the two other BirelART drivers, the Romanian Daniel Vasile and the Swiss Jean Laurent Luyet.

OKNJ - Lovatt wins the final sprint.
In OK-N Junior, the English driver Archie Lovatt (#712 Forza Racing/Exprit-TM Kart-Vega) secured a hard-fought victory in the final, winning a close race after dominating the heats and prefinal. His main rival proved to be the Romanian Bogdan Cosma Cristofor (#711 Forza Racing/Exprit-TM Kart), the winner of the first round in Lonato, who also had a strong performance in the final at Cremona. Lovatt managed to clinch the victory by a mere 0.028s over Cosma Cristofor. However, due to a penalty for incorrect positioning of the front spoiler, the Romanian driver was classified in third place. The Slovakian Alex Molota (#717 Firefly/Gillard-TM Kart) took the second position. The Italian Valerio Viapiana (#702 Team Driver/KR-Iame) finished fourth, followed by the American Drew Walz (#728 Forza Racing/Exprit-TM Kart) in fifth.
