Saturday heats at Angerville

KF1
Gary Catt (GB, Tonykart/Vortex) took the lead from Armand Convers (FR, PCR/TM) a couple of laps in and the top three remained static after that. Jason Parrott had qualified 10th after clutch problems messed up his SuperPole but was up to 5th at the first corner. He soon took 4th as well and finished there, picking up fastest lap in the process. Even more places were made up by Matt Truelove, who came through from 14th to fifth.

It started to rain while they were on the grid for the second heat, but as soon as it was changed to a wet race the rain stopped so they stayed as they were. Guignet and Kozlinski were in front to start with, but Guignet didn’t have the pace and was taken by Alessandro Bressan (IT, Kosmic/Vortex), Litchfield (GB, Tonykart/Vortex) and Bollingtoft (DK, Kosmic/Vortex). Litchfield ran third for a couple of laps after starting 10th but was passed by Bollingtoft towards the end.

The heat winners were Catt and Kozlinski.

KZ2
In the first heat French Team member Thomas Mich won by nearly 0.7s from Marco Ardigo (IT, Tonykart/Vortex) who came back from being outmanouevred at the start. Jack Hawksworth (GB, Gillard/TM) is at his first full international KZ2 meeting and headed the second group in ninth until he was nudged out of the way and finished up 13th.

Rick Dreezen won another heat, which suffered heavier rain but till not enough to make it properly wet. This heat also saw a crash from Matias Christian Krognes (SE, Energy/TM) which bought the “slow” signs out, and another good drive from Hawksworth who held off World Champion Jonathan Thonon (BE, CRG/Maxter) for seventh.

The final heat on Saturday was run on a wet track and was pretty much chaos and a crash from Kevin Leijtens (NL, Energy/TM) on the start line again brought the “slow” banners out. Kevin Jansen (NL, Energy/TM) was the fairly lucky winner of this one.

The heat winners were Mich, Thonon, Dreezen and Jansen.

KF3
Max Goff (GB, Topkart/Comer) had had a promising qualifying session with 8th overall but went off at the start in his first heat.

In the third heat Mackenzie Taylor (GB, Alonso/TM) had a good lead early on but was overhauled by Brandon Maisano (FR, Intrepid/TM).

For the last heat it started to rain heavily and again there was a good race between Taylor and Mans Grenhagen (SE, Tonykart/TM) but Taylor lost the lead halfway through and had no comeback to the Swedish driver. Kevin Ceccon (IT, Maranello/TM) also gained a place on him.

The heat winners have been Raffaele Marciello (CH, Spirit/TM), Nicolai Moller Madsen (DK, Tonykart/Vortex) x 2, Maisano, Carlos Sainz Jr (ES, Alonso/Vortex), Grenhagen.
