Parolin Motorsport continued to enable frontrunners in both OK and Mini categories to fulfil their potential in the last round of the WSK Super Master Series at Viterbo, despite constantly changing weather conditions on Friday and Sunday.
 

On Leopard Circuit Viterbo, the venue for a European Championship round for OK and OK-Junior later in the year, drivers with Parolin Motorsport and satellite teams got to sample a newly rebuilt and highly technical circuit.

Heartbreak for Costoya in OK

Christian Costoya was incredibly unlucky to miss out on the WSK Super Master Series win at Viterbo as changeable weather disrupted the event. The Spanish driver started on pole for the Final after three heat wins but dropped to the back of the field after a racing incident. A disappointing end to the series but it underlines the excellent performance of Costoya and his equipment, even if it did not result in the title.
 

Despite both gaining places in their Prefinals, Beau Lowette and Efim Derunov were unlucky not to qualify for the Final.
 

In OK-Junior Alessandro Truchot improved on his Qualifying position in the heats to start 7th on the grid for his Prefinal but was less fortunate on Sunday afternoon. Bruno Blanco made up 12 places in the wet Final but Qarrar Firhand didn’t complete the first lap.

Hedfors gaining in power in Mini Gr3

Elton Hedfors was one of the standout drivers of the meeting in Mini Gr3. He qualified 11th in his group on a drying track then moved up nine places after the heats with a peak result of 3rd. In Prefinal A he drove intelligently to hit the front at half distance and win the race, then in the Final finished 7th in the wet.
 

Another highlight was Nikita Dzalilov’s 3rd in his group in Qualifying while Mattis Brageot and Danila Verba gained places at each stage.
 

Modena Racing Kart and LA Motorsport drivers again held their own using Parolin chassis in OKN-Junior, led by Gioele Girardello and Albert Tamm, and Babyrace Driver Academy took podiums in both Mini classes.
 

“Of course we are disappointed not to take the OK title,” said Marco Parolin, “But we can be satisfied that Christian was extremely consistent across the whole series, and we are confident in the value of our development work on our new equipment for the main part of the season, starting at Campillos in under two weeks.”
 

The next race for Parolin Motorsport will be the first round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series at Campillos in Spain from 26th to 29th March, in preparation for the European Championship for OK and OK-Junior at the same venue.
