Lonato del Garda (Brescia, Italiy). A pleasant sunny day has blessed the final stages of the 28th Autumn Trophy at the South Garda Karting circuit of Lonato in an event that marked another record with 350 drivers on track.

Up for grabs was the Autumn Trophy based on the results obtained in the two rounds held on September 30th and October 7th and the Rok Cup Challenge that was run in three rounds held on February 18th in Lonato, September 2nd in Ugento and October 7th in Lonato.
KZ2. In KZ2 the Austrian Christoph Hold secured the win on Maranello-Modena in this second round, after his team mate Massimo Dante, also on Maranello-TM, won the first round held on September 30th. Hold has been very resolute and quick and won the final race leading Dante and a great Flavio Sani (Maranello-TM), who completed the podium. Hold and Dante ended equal on points in the final classification of the Autumn Trophy, but Dante secured the win thanks to the tie-braker of the best time in qualifying
