2007 CIK - FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP (KF1 - KZ1 - KZ2)

LIGHTS AND SHADES FOR THE BIREL TEAM

UNLUCKY COZZAGLIO AND CESETTI: THE FIRST, AUTHOR OF THE POLE, HAS AN ACCIDENT AT START OF COMPETITION 1, WHILE CESETTI HAS SOME PROBLEMS OF MOTOR AFTER HAVING DISPUTED QUALIFICATIONS AND MANCHE AT BEST.

They pick up less as they would have deserved the Birel pilots in the weekend which has opened the European Championship of the classes KF1, KZ1 and KZ2. Sauro Cesetti immediately highlighted in the queen class marking the 2nd time in qualification, for then to get a success and a 2° place in the manches of qualification. The marchigiano, the best pilot among the motorized Iames, has gained therefore the start in 1st line for Competition 1 beside Ardigò. Positive also Croxford who, after having marked the 11th time in qualification (1st among the pilots with motor Tm), has closed a manche among the first ones, while in the 2nd he has been forced to the withdrawal for a technical problem. At start of Competition 1 immediately a cold shower for Cesetti: the motor accuses a technical problem and after three difficult turns he parks on side racetrack his kart (the drawback could been caused by the gasoline). Unfortunately also it goes bad for Croxford who remains involved in a contact to the 1st lap. The English will continue, but he will close the competition out of points zone. Instead, the other English in competition with the Birel colors obtains some points: Jason Parrot. The pilot of the Mgm team is 8th . The success goes to Ardigò who precedes Convers and Christensen. In Competition 2 Cesetti doesn't succeed in resolving his problems of motor and he doesn't enter in points zone. The feat succeeds, instead, to Jaime Croxford who closes to the 14th place. Better once more the countryman Parrot who finishes in 7th position. The success goes again to Ardigò who precedes Convers lengthening in general classification. Also in KZ1 the gotten results were inferior to the expectations and to the potential emerged in the day of Saturday. To recriminate, is particularly Manuel Cozzaglio, who, after having gotten the pole and the 3rd position to the start of Competition 1 thanks to good manches, he has been involved in an exit of racetrack to the start. With every probability it was a contact with Iglesias to put ko the bresciano, also penalized by the new procedure of "Slow" in case of accidents. In fact, once taken back the racetrack, Cozzaglio has maintained a too elevated pace to reach the group, being excluded therefore from the competition. The success has gone therefore to Manetti, while the French Mich has brought the 1st Birel to the 4th place. Francis Laudato, instead, also closing the competition behind the first ones marking the 2nd fast turn of the competition, he has not gone over the 8th place. He will do better in Competition 2 where it conquers the 5th place. Cozzaglio also goes up again very well in Competition 2 who, started last, gets a positive 6th place really behind Laudato. Still positive also Mich who finishes in 8th position. Unfortunately for the Birel pilots the victory still goes to Manetti who, substantially, mortgages the championship which will be knock down on 3 results profits in the context of the two scheduled competitions. But nevertheless the competitiveness of Cozzaglio Monza loom has certainly impressed and, in the go on of season, it will know how to guarantee to the bresciano the possibility to aspire to important results.
