400 drivers also expected in Franciacorta’s round of the WSK Super Master Series
The WSK Super Master Series continues to present events of extraordinary importance, after the last round in Lonato, the fourth event at the Franciacorta Karting Track is ready to start, where 400 drivers are expected in the MINI, OKNJ, OKJ, OK and KZ2 categories.
The third round of the WSK Super Master Series held in Lonato has given new momentum to the championship standings in view of the final rush of the championship in the last two rounds of the series, on March 9th at the Franciacorta Karting Track and on March 16th at the renewed Leopard Viterbo Circuit, where the increased score for these last two rounds still leaves all possibilities open.
Several confirmations, but also new leaders at the top of the championship.
The championship is hard fought in all categories. In the third round of Lonato, there were several confirmations, as for the American Josh Bergman in the MINI U10 to his third consecutive victory, for the Dutchman Dean Hoogendoorn who in the OKJ boasted a good advantage after his second victory, and for the Belgian Dries Van Langendonck who in the OK pulled away over his opponents to the third podium. Very short standings instead for the KZ2, where the leadership has passed into the hands of Senna Van Walstijn, and for the MINI Gr3 where the fight between Xavier Lazzaro and Niccolò Perico is close, but here the standings are still sub judice.
