The fifth and final round of the Italian Karting Championship held at the Circuit of Friuli Venezia Giulia of Precenicco closed this year's campaign as Fusco won 60 Mini's title and Maestranzi that of KF2. The KF3 Championship was won by Garofano and KZ2's one by Camplese.
FUSCO SECURED THE 60 MINI TITLE
Class 60 Mini has been quite awaited and it featured again a good number of drivers at the start (38) as the attention was focused on the two classification leaders: the driver from Naples Giuseppe Fusco on Lenzokart-Lke and the Norwegian Dennis Hauger (CRG/Hero-Lke). Fusco came out as winner of the title he has been chasing since last year. He has put in a very tight first final that he won leading a combative Hauger and Matteo Michelotto (Top Kart-Parilla) after a lively positions exchange on top of the race. This victory gave Fusco the mathematical certainty of the title. Fusco got again the podium in the second final, despite starting from the eighth place of the grid due to the top eight inversion, as the victory went to the Russian Dimitri Bogdanov (Tony Kart-Lke), who finished ahead of ”Skeed” (Top Kart-Parilla). Behind Fusco, Hauger was fourth.
The Final Classification of the 60 Mini Italian Championship: 1. Fusco points 188; 2. Hauger 156; 3. Bogdanov 127.
MAESTRANZI CHAMPION IN KF2
Marco Maestranzi (Top Kart-Tm) confirmed to be the main protagonist of KF2 also in this final round of the championship. The driver from Trentino put in a spotless hat trick in Precenicco as he won both finals despite a strong resistance by Andrea Moretti (Exprit-Tm) who in the occasion could also benefit from the help of his brother Marco. Maestranzi won race-1 from Andrea Moretti to Adriano Albano (Tony Kart-Tm). The title being already secured, Maestranzi managed also to win the second final leading the two Moretti brothers, Andrea and Marco in the order this time.
