The Saturday Qualification Heats brought great intensity, many passes and uncertainties at Lonato, on a track always conducive to the spectacle. In high temperatures, Drivers and engines suffered in this second and final Competition of the CIK-FIA European Championships for KZ and KZ2, as well as for Round 2 of the CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy.

With 153 Drivers in northern Italy, warm sunny weather, very tight gaps, surprises and not all of the favourites well placed after the timed sessions, the Qualifying Heats and Final already promise a big show for the second and last Competition of the CIK-FIA European Championships for KZ and KZ2, as well as for the CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy.

With 24 Heats, Saturday is a large part of the Qualifying Phase in the CIK-FIA European Championship. At Ampfing (DEU), for the third of the four Competitions of the 2018 season, the warm and sunny weather enabled exceptional action. The German Hannes Janker, poleman after Qualifying Practice in OK, continued to dominate the category with four clear wins. The situation has changed somewhat in OK-Junior with great performances from the Frenchman Hadrien David and the Brazilian Gabriel Bortoleto, with three victories each.

The 2018 WSK Super Master Series has just ended at the fast circuit of Sarno with a very positive result for the Sodi Racing Team.

With four Sodi ranked in the top 10 of the Championship, the French brand confirms its ambitions before the start of the CIK-FIA European Championship.
