Smal, Lindblad and Foteev are the early leaders of WSK Super Master Series after heats in Adria

The opener of WSK Super Master Series kicked off in Adria with 231 drivers coming from 40 countries. They showed a great level of competitiveness in a highly respected and professional stage on the international scene. In all the categories entitled in this event, namely OK, OK-Junior and Mini, a lot of new talents are striving to get under the spotlight in this series that enjoys the remarkable organization by WSK Promotion in its 15th year of activity. After qualifying practice and the first heats on Friday, heats continued on Saturday to define the initial classifications and name the contenders to the win after 30 qualifying races. The leaders at the end of the hard-fought heats are the Russian Kirill Smal in OK, the Brit Arvid Lindblad in OK-Junior and the Russian German Foteev in Mini.

The WSK Champions Cup winner Harry Thompson (KR-Iame/Sauber Racing Academy) was also among the best and secured one win but was relegated to the back due to retirement. The pole-sitter Nikita Bedrin (Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone/Ward) accused some delay instead.

OK classification after heats: 1. Smal; 2. Turney; 3. Trulli; 4. Antonelli; 5. De Haan.

The Asian Christian Ho (KR-Iame/Sauber Karting Team) had a good day, as the American Ugo Ugochukwu (Kosmic-Vortex/Ricky Flynn). The poleman Brando Badoer (KR-Iame-Vega/KR Motorsport) and Cristian Bertuca (BirelArt-TM Racing/Birel Art), the latter recovering several places, secured several strong placings.
