Daniil Kvyat, who has already taken part in the Winter Cup winning the race valid for KF3 back in 2009, has been in Lonato with Tony Kart to test on the KF challenger run by team Morsicani with which he has been competing in the past. “Lonato is my favourite track – said Daniil Kvyat – and from time to time I love driving karts to train a bit. I am happy that this circuit keeps being successful, I see that the Winter Cup is still as important and has a lot of drivers on track as it used to have back in my days on karts.
