This Sunday, the Adria Karting Raceway will celebrate the winners of the WSK Final Cup, concluding the WSK Promotion international karting calendar. With over 220 drivers on track, the qualifying phase has been completed with 26 heats unfolding after the initial six races of yesterday.

OK: Lorenzo Travisanutto keeps the lead

Lorenzo Travisanutto (Tony Kart/Vortex) showed how serious his victory intentions are in the WSK Final Cup, winning two OK races following his pole position and the second place gained in the initial heat. The British driver Joseph Turney (Tony Kart/Vortex) reached the second rank in the provisional standings and will start on pole in the Prefinal B, like Travisanutto in the Prefinal A.

The Russian Kirill Smal (Tony Kart/Vortex) will start alongside the Italian thanks to two seconds and a fourth place, like Taylor Barnard (KR/IAME) who will try to give Turney a hard time. Despite a victory each at the end of the day, difficulties along the way slowed down the German Hugo Sasse (Parolin/TM) and the Dutchman Dilano Van’t Hoff (Exprit/TM) who will start further back on the grid tomorrow.
