EDITORIAL

Charge ahead! This is the imperative mandate of the European Championships that here in Wackersdorf dedicate the stage exclusively to shifter karts. After the Genk premiere, where KZ and KZ2 shared the track with the KF, the two classes will be alone, front and center, in the hunt for the European title. This is going to be a

“delicate” match, since it is the second of the three events that will elect the fi nal winner. Alone in the European, but not on track - in fact, the grand spectacle of the KZ and KZ2 will be supported, once more, by the CIK-FIA Academy Trophy, dedicated to the youngest drivers, here at their second round. Offering the little ones a chance to race alongside the big stars of karting is a way to encourage their dream to, one day, join the halls of fame. So, charge ahead!

KF ROUND 2 REPORT

The king of the opening round of the KZ European Championship was Marco Ardigò (Tony Kart/Vortex), but it was no walk in the park.On Friday, Arnaud Kozlinski (Intrepid/TM) grabbed pole position. The second best time was set by Jonathan Thonon (Praga/Parilla), who did the fast lap of group 2,and the third fastest was Paolo De Conto (Birel/TM), followed by Jorrit Pex (CRG/TM) and Anthony Abbasse (Sodi/TM). As evidence of how competitive the fi eld is, the gap between the pole man and the Frenchman sitting 5th was of only 0.092. At the end of the day Ardigò (Tony Kart/Vortex) was only 7th overall, behind his teammate Flavio Camponeschi.On Saturday, “Koko” consolidated his leadership, conquering a top-spot start for the prefi nal, by winning heat 1 and placing 4th in heat 2. The other front row spot for the start of the prefi nal went to a fast-charging Rick Dreezen (Zanardi/Parilla), while Ardigò and Thonon secured a row 2 start, giving everyone the impression that the battle on Sunday would be anything but boring. The heats, instead, spelled bad luck for De Conto and Camponeschi, both forced to withdraw for a break down

in one of the two races. Then came Finals Sunday and the tables turned in favor of Ardigò. After an exhilarating battle in the prefi nal, the Tony Kart driver was standing fi rst, followed by Thonon, who also scored the best lap, and Kozlinski. The dice had been cast, so to speak. In fact, in the fi nal the Italian completed his great weekend with authority, starting from fi rst place and driving off to an undiscussed victory. For sure he was helped by the fact that the great duel with Jonathan Thonon (Praga/Parilla) did not happen. And the reason is that the Belgian was rear ended and sent off track, right as he was pressing to fi nd an opening for the lead, by “Koko”, who was, in turn, trying to fend off an attack by De Conto. When all was said and done, Thonon had the worst of the whole incident in the short-term, considering he had to restart his engine to get back on track. Yet, things turned much more sour for the other two later in the race. Kozlinksi slipped down past 20th place, then was victim to a “lethal” contact that forced him to withdraw - and to think he had been the man to beat until the prefi nal! Instead, De Conto had to leave the race because

his engine failed, right as he was running third on a hard-charging rise from eighth. The fi nal ended with Ardigò as the winner, followed by Dreezen (Zanardi/Parilla), who ran second from start to fi nish. The third one across the fi nish was Jordon Lennox-Lamb (CRG/Maxter), who took advantage of De Conto’s withdrawal to complete the podium and give a good ending to an up and down weekend (10th in the qualifyings, 5th after the heats, 8th in the prefi nal). Jorrit Pex (CRG/TM) and Ben Hanley (ART GP/TM) rounded off the top 5, also putting a nice ending to a weekend on the rise. The same goes fro the rest of the Top 10: Mirko Torsellini (ART GP/TM), Anthony Abbasse (Sodi/TM), Bas Lammers (Formula K/Parilla), Massimo Aceto (Righetti/Parilla) and Simo Puhakka (Birel/TM). A fi nal note of mention goes to the “paradox” of Yannick De Brabander (CRG/TM): the last one across the fi nish-line, 1 lap slower than the winner, but author of the best lap of the race. The Belgian didn’t seem to be a local driver on his home turf until he placed the fi nal pounce that had him clock out like no other (53.020).

It is true, race events get won or lost on the last lap of the fi nal race. Yet, drivers have to manage a whole weekend to get there. Here we take a look at how the KZ European title contenders did in the opening round at the Genk International Circuit (Genk, Belgium): from the fast runners of the weekend to those who topped the prefi nal.

ACADEMY TROPHY REPORT

The 2014 CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy shows a welcome revival of the single-brand/equal-opportunity formula launched in 2010. The appeal of the concept was confi rmed by the great success of the opening round: a total of 49 drivers from 29 countries and 4 continents met up in Genk, including some with prior international experience and, more importantly, a great wealth of absolute newcomers to the series from countries that are usually not represented in karting (like South Korea, Iran, Israel and Lebanon). Moving on to the action, Richard Verschoor clocked out with the best time, followed by Ross Martin and

Murilo Della Coletta. Verschoor went on to confi rm his leadership in the heats, followed by compatriot Rinus Van Kalmthout and Berkay Besler. Then the tables turned in the prefi nal, with Besler winning ahead of Oliver York and Bradley Lienbenberg, and again in the fi nal, where Kakunoshin Ota quickly moved to the front and fl ew off to win. Van Kalmthout managed to rise back up to 2nd and Martin charged up from 16th to round off the podium. Overall, half of the Top 10 drivers, including the winner, were at their international debut and together they represented 9 different national fl ags from Asia, Europe and South America.

The CIK-FIA single-brand series has a noble goal: to attract young talents into international karting from a very young age. Based on the Genk debut, it seems the mission will be once again accomplished in 2014.

KF ROUND 2 REPORT

The KZ2 European Championship opened with a surprise start-to-fi nish domination by “private” driver Andrea Dalè (CRG/Maxter): pole position, 1st in each of his 4 heats, and 1st at the fi nish-line of both prefi nal and fi nal, here with a stunning 5.8 seconds advantage.True, since the start of the season the Italian had already given proof of his skills and, not perchance, a few months ago his name had gravitated towards Energy Corse. Yet, nobody expected him to dominate the fi rst major event of the season!Behind Dalè in the combined standings of the qualifyings there were Marijim Kremers (Birel/TM), the fastest of group 3, and Andreas Sebastian Hansen (Tony Kart/Vortex), the best of group 2. The fact that Friday’s top 3 were the leaders of the 3 timed practice groups was an immediate sign of the balanced nature of the fi eld. And a balanced fi eld often results in serious “shuffl ing” in the charts, as happened across the Genk weekend.On Saturday, the one who secured a front row start for the prefi nal next to Dalè was Jan Midrla (Birel/TM), already 4th on Friday. Instead, Hansen “only” managed to place 4th behind his Scandinavian conational Douglas

Lundberg (Alpha/Parilla) and poor Kremers dropped to 15th. On the other hand, all the other drivers completing the Top 10 were authors of great rebounds from poor qualifying results: the Energy duo of Simas Juodvirsis (with Maxter engine) and Ricardo Romkema (with TM engine) claimed 5th and 6th, on the rise from 14th and 13th respectively; Italian Matteo Zanchi (GP/TM) and Guust Specken (Intrepid/TM) claimed row 4, climbing from 17th and 15th; Simone Brenna (TB Kart/Modena Engines) rose from 23rd to 9th and Finn Kooijman (CRG/TM) went from 20th to 10th. The absolute biggest climb was by Menno Paauwe (Birel/TM): up 20 spots and 13th going into Sunday.The prefi nals confi rmed the same names up front, except for two surprising “seat” changes. The Top 5 list on Sunday morning was Dalè, Midrla, Lundberg, Hannsen and Juodvirsis. After both of the prefi nals were accounted for, the charts had Dalè and Midrla still sitting 1-2, Hanssen steady in 4th, and Lundberg down to 5th, losing “his” 3rd place to an amazing Kremers, who managed to push his Birel kart up 12 spots by taking a phenomenal second place fi nish in his prefi nal (PF1).

Juodvirsis, instead, dropped to 29th (he closed his prefi nal in 15th place, due to a clash with Lundberg). Like the former European champion, other big names also got fi ltered out in the prefi nals, including Matteo Zanchi, Gary Carlton, and Luca Corberi (who had already dropped from 6th to 21st in the heats). The tables turned once more at start of the fi nal, except for Dalè who fl ew off undisturbed. Midrla failed to get off grid and slid to the rear and towards the end of lap one Ryan Van Der Burgt (DR/TM) and Kremers also went out. While havoc ensued, Lundberg managed to rise up to second and keep Dalè in view. Then at lap 11 he started to slide back, while the trio of Finn Koijman (CRG/TM), Hansen (Tony Kart/Vortex) and Fabian Federer (CRG/Maxter) worked their way up. At the fi nish Hansen and Federer claimed 2nd and 3rd. A closing mention also goes to Energy offi cial Juodvirsis, who made up for a weekend that seemed compromised beyond repair: in the fi nal he does the race of his life, checking off 24 rivals and claiming a 5th place across the fi nish-line that tasted (almost) as sweet as victory.

It is true, race events get won or lost on the last lap of the fi nal race. Yet, drivers have to manage a whole weekend to get there. Here we take a look at how the KZ2 European title contenders did in the opening round at the Genk International Circuit (Genk, Belgium): from the fast runners of the weekend to those who topped the prefi nal.
