Denner and Haverkort Vice-Champions of WSK Final Cup
Emilien Denner and Kas Haverkort concluded positively the WSK Final Cup with the third and closing round held at the Adria Karting Raceway. It has been a tough race due to the rain, but Denner (Kalì-Kart) and Haverkort (Team Zanardi) managed to claim the second place of the overall classifications of KZ2 and OK, which is a rewarding end to a season that has seen them being very competitive throughout.
Emilien Denner has been fighting for the KZ2 title until the closer of Adria and eventually ended his WSK Final Cup campaign in P2. The French driver on Kalì-Kart completed a race spoiled by the rain in eighth position. The Swiss Jean Luyet managed to end on the KZ2 podium in this race for CRG, as he claimed P3 at the end of a good racing weekend. Marco Valenti secured a top-ten finish thanks to a great comeback race. The Spanish driver Marc Oriol Lopez Gutierrez was 14th in KZ2.
Team Zanardi’s Kas Haverkort put in a strong result in OK, managing to recover well from qualifying (31st) and heats (16th). Haverkort kept his momentum in the Final and climbed up to P2, which earned him the final second place in the Championship.
A 3s time penalty in the OK-Junior Prefinal did not allow Alfio Spina to qualify for the Final. The Chinese Xizheng Huang, Paolo Gallo (Kalì-Kart) and Gregorio Bertocco had some problems in the Prefinal and could not qualify for the Final either.
The best of Team Gamoto’s drivers on CRG in Mini was the Ukrainian Oleksander Bondarev, who ended with a great P5 in the Final, while Manuel Scognamiglio was 15th. A penalty in Prefinal prevented Team Gamoto’s Dmitry Matveev from gaining access to the Final. The Russian driver had been among the quickest in the heats claiming two second places. Matveev ended the championship in 10th place, while Bondarev in 14th. The young Thai Enzo Tarnvanichku experienced some difficulties mainly due to a tough qualifying instead.
