Gabriel Bortoleto ended pre-season testing on top, setting a 1:47.417 to lead the way on the final day of running for Trident. He narrowly headed up the field from Gabriele Minì, just 0.035s off the top spot with Grégoire Saucy in the top three once again.

Rising star takes to the top step on first outing at famous Grand Prix venue
 

Talented teenager Louis Sharp arrived at Croft for this weekend’s (25-26 June) three rounds in the ROKiT F4 British Championship certified by FIA in fine form after his standout successes two weeks ago at Oulton Park.

The FIA Karting World Championship weekend was one of those events marked in red on the Leclerc By Lennox Racing team’s calendar. However, the heavy rain, combined with highly variable weather conditions and the track at the Kartodromo Internacional do Algarve, shuffled the deck several times, making it difficult for drivers from as early on as the timed practice sessions. Finding themselves stuck in the middle of the group, knocks and penalties ultimately prevented them and the team from exploiting their full potential and frustrated much of the development work done with the TM Racing-powered CL Karting by Birel ART chassis.
