Three drivers were smiling broadly from the podium in Sarno at the end of the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship. Pedro Hiltbrand, who had already won the opening race in Spain, is in an excellent position in the overall KZ standings ahead of the final competition in Germany in July. In KZ2, Maksim Orlov is in exactly the same situation, after his comprehensive domination in the Final at the foot of Vesuvius. In KZ2 Masters, the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship was held over a single competition. Antonio Piccioni emerged victorious after a last lap with many twists and turns.

The second official day of competition, which saw the end of the Qualifying Heats and the first Super Heats, took place in stifling heat on the Naples International Circuit. A number of trends from Qualifying Practice for the Mondokart.com FIA Karting European Championship were confirmed, but certain races showed that things can change very quickly. Mattéo Spirgel in KZ, Maksim Orlov in KZ2 and Davide Fore in KZ2 Masters will attack the end of the competition in leading positions.
