A GREAT WEEKEND AT VAL VIBRATA FOR THE WSK MASTER SERIES
Professional karting stopped off and left its mark at the circuit Val Vibrata located in the town of Sant’Egidio alla Vibrata (Teramo, Italy). The second round of the WSK Master Series has presented nothing if not thrilling finals today seeing the large number of twists that have characterized every race and not only, in the four classes KZ2, KF2, KF3 and 60 Mini. Corners after corners, in every lap of the last eight races, the rankings have changed so many times that it was possible to spot the final winners only few metres before the chequered flag. We are reaching therefore Castelletto di Branduzzo (Pavia, Italy) for the third and closing round of the Championship with rankings launching very talented drivers on the Hall of Fame of karting.
GIOVINAZZI LEADER IN THE RACE AND IN KF2 CHAMPIONSHIP
The new WSK Champion in KF2 comes from Martina Franca (Taranto, Italy): Antonio Giovinazzi (Top Kart-Parilla-Vega) after calling the shots in the previous round in Siena has repeated himself at Val Vibrata in an extraordinary Final against Alessio Santilli (Intrepid-TM-Vega) from Teramo. Taking the lead from the very first, Giovinazzi has kept his rival under control all over the race to withstand then a very close attack in the final laps. The last corner was crucial to the Apulian driver who emerged victorious after catching up with Santilli who had taken the lead before. It was a deserved and at the same time useful win to Giovinazzi who has won KF2 title beforehand. The same merit goes to the winner of the Pre-final Alessio Guazzaroni (Tony Kart-TM-Vega) who finished third.
ZANCHETTA RECOVERS AND WINS IN KZ2
Marco Zanchetta (CKR-TM-Dunlop) was the protagonist at Val Vibrata seeing that he deservedly won a KZ2 Final in spite of a not good start. In pole position for winning the Pre-final, the driver from Veneto went down to third due to a frantic start. That phase instead, was favourable to Alfredo Delli Compagni (CRG-TM-Dunlop) from Teramo who kept the lead for two third of the race. Pulling up steadily, Zanchetta first snatched the second place from Simone Brenna (TB Kart-TM-Dunlop) of Como and then set off in hot pursuit of the leader. He was successful in the concluding phase when the top four had only a few-tenth gap, with Brenna to complete the group after leaving third place to Marco Pizzuti (Birel-TM-Dunlop) from Macerata. Zanchetta is now at the ranking top above the previous leader Beitske Visser (Intrepid-TM-Dunlop). The blonde Dutchwomen in fact concluded in the back after losing ground in the frantic starting phase.
SPINELLI DEFEATS KF3 LEADER
In this class there were plenty of surprises as well, and especially in the Final when a penalty given for a start out of line to both Roman Alberto Di Folco (Tony Kart-TM-Dunlop) and Danish Nicklas Nielsen (DR-Parilla-Dunlop) altered the ranking. Finishing respectively first and second, but being then relegated, they gave victory to Loris Spinelli (Tony Kart-Vortex-Dunlop) from Pescara who had however been in the lead until the last but one lap. That way, Romanian Robert Visoiu improved his score too and is always the ranking leader thanks to today’s second place ahead of Tuscan Dario Orsini (Birel-BMB-Dunlop).
IBERIAN MACHADO AMAZES EVERYBODY IN 60 MINI
It seemed to be Marcus Dionisios’ day (Top-Kart-LKE-Vega) but after his win in the Pre-final and a start in pole position, he took a bend wide and lost several places. Romanian however, was good in recovering the lead ahead of group of drivers that made him worry in an exciting final phase. Right then, a young driver from Andorra Alex Machado (RK-LKE-Vega) came out and defeated a large group of contestants one lap from the end. Behind him came Venezuelan Mauricio Baiz (Birel-LKE-Vega) that passing him too Dionisios relegated him to third. It was a crucial win for Machado as it shot him to the top of the ranking.
