Tony Kart Racing Team starts again with 2 titles and 4 victories

imo Puhakka conquers the WSK Super Master Series in KZ2 winning both last two rounds. Nikita Bedrin wins the OK title with Tony Kart – Vortex material, always competitive in all classes.

Successful return to racing at the Adria Karting Raceway, stage of the first 2020 title conquest in the KZ2 class. The Tony Kart Racing Team is celebrating Simo Puhakka, supported by the Tony Kart 401 R – Vortex duo and being successful starting from the Qualifying Heats, ended with two victories, and leading the group in Prefinal and Final both in third and fourth round, raced one after the other. At the end of the weekend, Puhakka centers also 4 best laps, once again proving the high quality of the technical material.

Just one small regret for Paul Evrard, who is compromising the qualifying heats and cannot express all his potential during the race.

In the OK category, Pedro Hiltbrand ends the championship with a well-deserved third place. The Spaniard fights hard during the whole week with a rib injury preventing him to end the second final, after a good prefinal finished second and a really fighting weekend. Our material proves to be once again top level also in Joseph Turney’s hands, excellent in exploiting both the speed, with 4 best laps and the third place in qualifying of the third round, both the pace in the race, recovering several positions in the Qualifying Heats in round 4, ending fourth in Final.

But in this category, another Tony Kart 401 R is conquering the WSK Super Master Series Title, thanks to the Ward Racing driver Nikita Bedrin, able to gain the victory in both races.

Low-key weekend for Lorenzo Travisanutto, who does not manage to exploit all his potential right in the final stages of the race.

Great weekend also in OKJ, ended with the second place for Karol Pasiewicz, always among the fastest of the whole line-up and able to gain the third place in the first final, 2 victories in the Heats and centring the pole position in round 4.

The other drivers of our team, Aiden Neate, Harley Keeble, Maxim Rehm and Eron Rexhepi prove to be very fast, with Keeble and Neate gaining the top-three several times. Also Tuukka Taponen is the author of an excellent debut under our tent, managing to always be among the first positions and centring a best lap too.

Excellent results also from the MINI category, where James Egozi is fighting hard for the podium in the Final of round 4 and closes sixth in the Final of round 3 after recovering 7 positions. In the same race, great comeback of Jimmy Helias, Kai Sorensen, Jules Caranta and Andres Cardenas, who are all recovering more than 5 positions. Helias and Egozi center also a third and fifth place in Prefinal.

At the end of the WSK Super Master Series, the Tony Kart Racing Team will be back on track next weekend, starting a new Championship: the WSK Euro Series. The first round will take place on the Circuito Internazionale Napoli, a Sarno (Italy) with free practices scheduled on Thursday.
