WSK – INTERNATIONAL SERIES – LONATO, 1ST JULY ROUND 5

VIGANO’, CHAMPION IN KF3

THE MGM TEAM MAIN RACE DRIVER ARRIVES 3RD IN RACE 1 AND WINS THE 2ND FINAL, THUS CONQUERING THE KF3 TITLE, BEATING EITHER HARVEY AND KOUZKIN.

Among the KF3 title challengers, Matteo Vigano had to close up points with those in the eve favourites Harvey and Vainio (both in Maranello), whereas he started almost equally to the Italian Kouzkin (Tony Kart).

In order to obtain the success, beating all direct competitors was a must and earlier from rankings the pace of Vigano seemed quite reassuring to this purpose.

But after an excellent 2nd place in the 1st eliminatory round, the race drivers from Bergamo suffered from an electric problem in the 2nd round, ending only 11th

In race 1 he started from the 4th row and so had to close the gap with his competitors, and above all with Kouzkin who sprinted from the 1st row.

The recovery was immediate and the Mgm team pilot climbed up and ended 3rd, preceded only by few tenths by Kouzkin and Favaro (however obtaining better time improvements).

In race 1 we must also underline the good performance of Kevin Ceccon, who arrived 5th behind the “black Jaguar” who preceded him by only 90 thousandths.

In great evidence also Lorenzo Camplese (6th) who still gets on with the Birel chassis after his debut 15 days ago, as well as Riccardo Agostini, who arrived 10th.

But the real masterpiece was signed by Viganò in Race 2, where the race driver from Bergamo obtained a clear success over Kouzkin and Favaro.

With this victory the Birel pilot obtains the category title, the first important KF3 prize assigned in this season.

We must stress that Viganò is also the leader in the Open class and will be the favourite in the European championship (selection on July 15 and Final in Sarno on September 2).

But back to the race in Lonato, a pretty good performance of Camplese, who ended 6th registering excellent time improvements, while Ceccon must content himself with a 9th place due to some set up problems.

Double success of Tiene in KF2, where the title went to De Brander (3rd in Race 1 and 5th in Race 2), capable of controlling the direct competitor Tarancon who ended both Finals with a 2nd place. In KF2 where the title had already been assigned bot victories went to Piccini.

The next international karting leg will be next July 15th with three regional selection for the KF2 and KF3 European championship.
