23 races complete the programme of Heats for Round 3 of the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy at Franciacorta Circuit.

The new Champions of the future Academy Program series by RGMMC, launched between the 20th and 22nd of November at the kart circuit of the Al Forsan International Sports Resort in Abu Dhabi, UAE. As an exciting change to the traditional weekend format the event took place between Monday and Wednesday just before, and only a few kilometers distance from the final round of Formula1 even, facilitated F1 Academy members and junior scouts to be present and keep an eye for new talents. In addition, it allowed the karting drivers and contributors to continue their week with a visit to the Formula1 race.

As expected, the first races of the IWF were very exciting in all categories: X30 Mini, KA100, X30 Master and Z-I. The Warriors lived up to their name throughout the day. Despite the rain, very few collisions were recorded, proof of the dexterity of the drivers present for this great event organised by IAME Karting. While some were doing their utmost to move up the rankings after what they hoped would be a better qualifying session, others confirmed their ease on the slippery Le Mans track.

After settling over the Le Mans International Circuit on Thursday during qualifying practice, rain clouds remained stationary in the sky in this region of western France, forcing the drivers to use Komet rain tyres throughout the 17 qualifying heats on Friday. These difficult conditions did not prevent the drivers from putting on a show on the track, with many overtaking moves. Nevertheless, the hierarchy is far from being fixed, as many heats are on the programme on Saturday, before the much awaited final stages on Sunday. The IWF22 still has many surprises in store for us.
