Record participation for the 27th Spring Trophy at the South Garda Karting circuit of Lonato: 293 drives on track in 11 categories. The winners: Dante (KZ2), Antonelli (Entry Level), Enders (60 Mini), Cesari (Prodriver Under), Scagnelli (Over), Micheletti (Club), Scarfò (Mini Rok), Guidetti (Junior), Trombelli (Senior), Cinti (Super) and Zani (Shifter).
Lonato del Garda (Brescia, Italy). Only a handful of entrants were missing to reach the round number of 300 drivers in this season opening at the South Garda Karting track of Lonato (Brescia, Italy). In the end, a total of 293 drivers have been verified out of the 298 entered in the 11 categories on track in the 27th edition of the Spring Trophy held on March 20th. The race had also validity for the Regional Championship Lombardia and for the Rok Cup Area North.
The 27th Spring Trophy set a new presence record for 2016, not only for the circuit of Lonato, but also for the whole Italy. Such a result has been fostered by several factors, such as the organization of the more and more effective South Garda Karting Circuit, the new layout of the track now extended to 1.200 meters, the new impressive paddock of 23.000 square meters, the communication services featuring Live Timing and Live Streaming for all the races, the coverage of the circuit with 20 CCTV cameras for a capillary monitoring of races, and some other important services that launched the circuit of Lonato to the Olympus of International Karting.
A total of 98 drivers have been competing for the Regional Championship Lombardia, and 195 for the Rok Cup Area North. These are important numbers and, particularly the Rok Cup, underlines the growth of the single branded championship by Vortex.
DANTE CONFIRMS TO BE THE “KING” OF LONATO
Massimo Dante, on Maranello-Tm, has been again the “King” of Lonato in the most powerful category on track, KZ2. He dominated the three Trophies held last year in Lonato: the Spring Trophy, the Summer Trophy and the Autumn Trophy.

The other top positions went to the Austrian Christoph Hod on Maranello-Modena, who was fourth as P5 was obtained by Luciano Medeghini (VRK-Tm) who inherited the place of Danilo Albanese (Tony Kart-Tm) due to a penalty. Alessandro Buran was sixth on Olikart Haase-Maxter. The top ten was rounded up by the Swedish driver Brandon Nilsson (Righetti Ridolfi-Vortex), Luigi Del Vecchio (Tony Kart-Vortex), Marco Pastacaldi (Tony Kart-Tm) and Mirko Colombo (Energy-Tm).
