After the morning warm-ups in the two categories of OK and OK-Junior, no less than 20 heats followed one another on the second official day of the FIA Karting European Championship, with the same main theme: very close gaps between the Drivers, exciting duels and plenty of overtaking. At Zuera in Spain, Arvid Lindblad took the lead of the provisional Junior standings, while Taylor Barnard confirmed his pole position in OK. However, we will need to wait until the last Heats on Sunday morning to find out the definitive starting order for the Finals.
 

After the long interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FIA Karting Competitions will finally be able to resume with the first of the three FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior Competitions organised in Spain, on the Zuera circuit from 31st July to 2nd August, 2020. The entry list, with more than 180 names, testifies to the motivation of the Drivers and teams to get back on track.

It's hard to see the smiles under the masks, but the Drivers returned to International Competition with great pleasure and excitement for the opening of the FIA Karting European Championship - OK & Junior, organised from 30th July to 2nd August in Spain, on the Zuera circuit. Undoubtedly due to the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic and the difficulty of moving from one country to another for some of them, the number of entrants announced could not be maintained at the level hoped for by the organisers, with a total of 130 drivers present out of the 183 registered. The young Driver Valerio Rinicella (ITA - Parolin/TM Racing/LeCont) was the fastest in OK-Junior and Taylor Barnard (GBR - KR/IAME/LeCont) achieved a magnificent pole position in OK.

The Rok Cup Superfinal will take place on the South Garda Karting track in Lonato (Italy) from 14^th to 17^th October.

The first 3 drivers of both qualifying sessions are Italian: Minì, Pizzi, Fornaroli and Rosso. A lot of Italy in the two qualifying sessions of the Italian F4 Championship powered by Abarth. Minì (Prema Powerteam) confirms the expectations and marks the best times of both sessions (1'35.121 - 1'34.537), in both followed by Pizzi (Van Amersfoort Racing, 1'35.160 - 1'34.652). In third position in qualifying 1, we find an excellent Fornaroli (Iron Lynx - 1'35.197) and in qualifying 2, Rosso (1'34.752). It is also striking that all the drivers in the lead are Rookies.
