The third victory of the Maranello Kart’s weekend came from 125 Club thanks to Davide Micheletti, on Maranello-Maxter, who secured the win of both the Prefinal and the Final.
A podium was also obtained in 60 Mini by the young Austrian Lukas Zbul, who was third in the Final with the assistance of Team Maranello Austria.
Rok Mini, that had 63 driver at the start, saw Lorenzo Marin putting in a great performance on Maranello-Vortex run by KCL Racing.

Brando Pozzi just missed out in earning his pass to the Final instead, as he was 35th after the heats due to a retirement in one race. Pozzi scored two promising results in the other two heats ending 12th and 10th.
