Premises for a great spectacle in Sarno were all there ahead of the third round of the Italian ACI Karting Championship with 250 drivers contesting this event that has had several good, hard-fought races and made all the classifications of the Italian Championship quite lively.

KZ2. In KZ2 the weekend has been characterized by the competitiveness of Giuseppe Palomba (Croc-Tm), who has been a great interpreter of the home circuit starting from qualifying when he claimed the pole position and then won the heats before claiming a strong win in the Final. The Italian driver also put in a great comeback Race-2 and from the eighth place of the starting grid due to the top eight inversion ended again on the podium in P2 behind an excellent Leonardo Marseglia, who claimed his maiden win in the Italian KZ2 Championship. Classification leader Simone Cunati (CRG-Tm) had a tough weekend but kept the lead of the standings. Now his lead has been considerably reduced due to the retirement in Race-1 and P11 in Race-2.
