Spectacle in KZ2 with Tormen and Palomba sharing the victories.
In KZ2, Race-1 victory went to Marco Tormen. The fast drivers of Modena Kart started from the front row in his BirelART-TM Racing, but got the lead when the reigning champion Giuseppe Palomba (BirelART) of team LG Motorsport had to retire due to a technical problem when he was in the lead. Tormen won, therefore, Race-1 leading the 2018 Italian Champion Giacomo Pollini, who was competing for team NGM Motorsport on CRG-TM Racing. The third place went to Matteo Mazzucchelli (Top Kart-TM Racing), who crossed the finish line ahead of Mauro Simoni (OK1 Racing Team/OK1-Iame). The top three drivers of the new Under-20 classification followed: Alex Maragliano (Renda/BirelART-TM Racing), Michele Fontana (CKR/CKR-TM Racing) and Mattia Sergio Limena (Kosmic-Vortex) crossed the finish line in the order.

Race-2 was enlivened by Giuseppe Palomba, as he already did last year in Triscina’s opener. The driver from Naples completed a spectacular comeback from the back of the grid to P1 securing the victory ahead of Marco Tormen and Michele Fontana. Palomba got on the top step of the podium also of the Under-20 classification, while Fontana was second and Moritz Ebner (Tec-Tav/BirelART-TM Racing) third.

Double win for Pavan in X30 Junior.
Good races took place also in IAME X30 Junior. The first of the two finals was won by Sebastiano Pavan (Team Driver/KR-Iame) at the end of an exciting and eventful race. Pavan claimed the win thanks to a successful overtaking move at the last lap and proceeded his teammate Francesco Marenghi and Matteo Franco Segre (OK1 Racing/OK1-Iame) at the flag. The fourth place went to the Bulgarian driver Kaloyan Verbitzaliev (Autoeuropeo/Tony Kart-Iame), who has also been fighting for the win. The fifth place was occupied by Alessandro Minetto (Gomoto/Tony Kart-Iame). Despite the top 8 grid inversion, the victory of Race-2 went again to Pavan, who proceeded Verbitzaliev and Marenghi this time around. The third place was in fact lost by Giulio Olivieri (Righetti Ridolfi-Iame) as he was handed a 10s time penalty that pushed him down to P11.

Petjoi and Malizia take the win in X30 Senior. Erika Lavazza also on the podium.
The first of the two finals of X30 Senior was dominated by the Finnish driver Teemu Petjoi (Virus Racing/Tony Kart-Iame), but behind him an exciting battle was fought fro the other two podium positions. The second place went to Cristian Comanducci (PRK/Tony Kart-Iame), who pipped 2020 Italian Champion Danny Carenini (Autoeuropeo/Tony kart-Iame). Autoeuropeo’s Filippo Croccolino secured a great fourth place and Federico Albanese (Vemme Kart/Vemme-Iame) the fifth.
Race-2 was led by the French Arnaud Malizia (Autoeuropeo/Tony Kart-Iame) throughout as he started from the pole position due to the top 8 grid inversion. Behind him, Teemu Petjoi was second, while his teammate Erika Lavazza surprisingly but deservedly claimed P3 and installed herself on the top of the classification of the new Italian Women Championship. Carenini was fourth and David Locatelli (Zanchi Motorsport/Tony Kart-Iame) fifth.

Rok Junior’s victories to Atzeri and Antonelli.
Riccardo Atzeri (MAD Racing/Tony Kart-Vortex) claimed a good win in Rok Junior’s Race-1. He fended off the attacks of the Pole Piotr Czaja (KTR Exprit/Kosmic-Vortex) and Lorenzo Coronese (Tony Kart-Vortex), that crossed the finish line respectively in second and third place. Behind them, Alessandro Antonelli (Parolin-Vortex) and the other Pole Adam Piszczako (KRT Exprit/Exprit-Vortex) closed their race in the order. Alessandro Antonelli had the upper hand in Race-2 as he managed to get past Piszczako and Atzeri. The fourth place went to Thomas Baldassarri (Newman Motorsport/Tony Kart-Vortex), who led Czaja.

Double win for Donno in Rok Senior.
