KZ2 dominated by the Spanish driver Pedro Hiltbrand.
KZ2 ended the day dedicated to qualifying heats. The Spaniard Pedro Hiltbrand (Leclerc by Lennox Racing/BirelART-TM Racing-Vega) dominated his rivals taking the full haul and won also the closing heat that was run in the wet. Among the quickest, the Dutch Senna Van Walstijn (Sodikart/Sodi-TM Racing) and the new European Champion Giacomo Pollini (NGM Motorsport/CRG-TM Racing-Vega), who posted the pole position in qualifying practice. Matteo Viganò (Leclerc by Lennox Racing/BirelART-TM Racing) is recovering some ground and follows them, as Fabian Federer (SRP Racing Team/Maranello-TM Racing), who claimed two wins. The Dutch driver Marijn Kremers (BirelART Racing/BirelART-TM Racing) and his teammate Riccardo Longhi were also among the front runners, but the latter lost a few places following a DNF due to technical issues.
The classification after the heats: 1. Hiltbrand; 2. Van Walstijn; 3. Pollini; 4. Viganò; 5. Federer; 6. Kremers; 7. Renaudin; 8. Shevyrtalov.
Great duel between the Pole Pasiewicz and the Japanese Nakamura in OK.
The Pole Karol Pasiewicz (Ward Racing/Tony Kart-Vortex-Bridgestone) got the best position after the four heats of OK. The new OKJ World Champion from Japan Kean Nakamura-Berta (Forza Racing/Exprit-TM Racing) is at the debut in OK but was the strongest rival of the Pole, as he was at ease since the beginning in the new category and won the sprint to the line in the closing heat. Nakamura had to serve a 5s time penalty though, which relegated him from P2 to P3 as Singapore’s Akshay Bohra (KR Motorsport/KR-Iame) inherited his place. The Swede Joel Bergstrom (Forza Racing/Exprit-TM Racing) is currently fourth and the Russian Artem Severiukhin (Ward Racing/Tony Kart-Vortex) the fifth.
The classification after the heats: 1. Pasiewicz; 2. Bohra; 3. Nakamura; 4. Bergstrom; 5. Severiukhin; 6. Tsolov; 7. Wisniewski; 8. Zachary.
The Brit Freddie Slater leads OKJ.
The closing heat of OKJ was affected by a light rain, which made it trickier for drivers to drive on slick tyres on the circuit that was getting wetter and wetter. The best position overall was eventually taken by the British driver Freddie Slater (Ricky Flynn Motorsport/Kosmic-Vortex-Vega), who won the final heat. Behind him, the two Russians Maksimilian Popov (Ward Racing/Tony Kart-Vortex-Vega), who posted the pole position in practice, and Kirill Kutskov (Forza Racing/Exprit-TM Racing), who proceeded Latvia’s Tomas Stolcermanis (Energy Corse/Energy-TM Racing), the Brazilian Miguel Costa (Sauber Orlen/KR-Iame) and the Chinese Yuanpu Cui (Beyond Racing Team/KR-TM Racing).
The classification after the heats: 1. Slater; 2. Popov; 3. Kutskov; 4. Stolcermanis; 5. Costa; 6. Cui; 7. Bondarev; 8. Egozi.

The British driver Alfie Slater (Energy Corse/Energy-Vortex-Levanto) ended far back after shining in qualifying practice.
