Sarno (ITA), 12.07.2020
The weekend of the opener of WSK Euro Series in Sarno at the International Circuit Napoli ended with an excellent spectacle on track after the Covid emergency. Despite the hot weather, competitiveness has been very high in all the categories KZ2, OK, OK-Junior and MINI with around 180 drivers on track from 32 different countries including those that won the WSK Super Master Series one week ago in Adria.

After the exciting qualifying heats, Prefinals and Finals in Sarno rewarded the strongest drivers of this opening race of WSK Euro Series, that will reach its conclusion on September 20th at the South Garda Karting circuit in Lonato.
