The FIA Karting event in Wackersdorf kept its promises right to the end. The final qualifying heats on Sunday morning had set the tone. The battles were lively in every race and the fight for victory was intense in all three categories. Senna van Walstijn (NLD) won the KZ2 final in style to round off his superb overall performance.

Grégoire Saucy (ART Grand Prix) wins race 2 at the F1 Circuit Zandvoort and closes the perfect weekend with two pole positions and two wins. Behind him, Franco Colapinto (MP Motorsport) confirms his and the team’s progression, also showing a great pace during the race, actually getting closer to the Swiss driver in the last laps. Gabriele Minì (ART Grand Prix) is third, as he loses the second position at the start, getting a little stuck behind Saucy and giving Colapinto the chance to overtake.

In 2019, Richard Verschoor became first rookie winner of the Macau Grand Prix since 2008, but that’s far from the MP Motorsport driver’s only achievement to date.

Track conditions vary, yellow flags interrupt twice the 20 minutes session of qualifying practice 2, but nothing changes at the head of the standings, with the Swiss Grégoire Saucy (ART Grand Prix – 1:31.193) setting an amazing lap time, 0.367 faster than his teammate, Gabriele Minì. Third is a fantastic Franco Colapinto (MP Motorsport – 1:31.781), showing again a constant improvement of the driver and the team. Fourth is Mikhael Belov (G4 Racing – 1:31.949), who yesterday has brought the first points to his team, and is continuing to give strong support to G4 Racing in expressing their full potential. Fifth is Francesco Pizzi (Van Amersfoort Racing – 1:32.010), obtaining his best position in qualifying this year. Just behind the Italian driver is Oliver Goethe (MP Motorsport – 1:32.015).

The first of two FIA Karting European Championship events - KZ & KZ2, as well as the first of three FIA Karting Academy Trophy events will take place from 17th-20th June 2021 in Germany at the ProKart Raceland circuit in Wackersdorf.
