The fifth of the six WSK races of this season has seen the return of this international series to Italy. The Sarno racetrack hosted the 185 pilots of categories KF2, KF3 and KZ2, who, on the occasion, met with favourable weather again, and summer conditions. The titles have not all been awarded and the competition has been quite uncertain all along the 1700 m of the very long international circuit in Sarno.

A WSK partner since the race of Angerville, «Fondation Julie Tonelli pour l’Enfance» is now part of the landscape of the series. Pink banners decorate the racetrack, one can meet Julie T-shirts in every corner of the paddock and stands, pink bracelets adorn tanned arms, and obviously the stickers find their place on the karts.

Brandon Maïsano, on his Intrepid – TM, has overshadowed his competitors in KF3. On Sunday he even succeeded in winning both the prefinal and the final. It is an amazing victory for Intrepid France and the team LM Karting. Brandon thus holds his first place in the provisional ranking of the championship, before Nyck De Vries (Zanardi - XTR).

The young flying Dutch has been convincing once again and has made up for the places lost in the timed practice. The pilot of De Vries Competition has battled hard to gain the third place in each of the two Sunday races. The Finnish pilot Aaro Vainio (Maranello – Maxter) has got very close to a great result. He must settle with a spectacular recovery up to the 6th place in the race.

The other Tonelli pilots of KF3 are out of the final. Kevin Petit (F – Birel – TM) continues his training with Paul Lemmens (GKS) with a grit that is always a pleasure to see. The Swedish Adam Skargard on a TonyKart - XTR of Ward Racing has suffered the start of a timed practice on a slow circuit. In great shape on Saturday, the official Kosmic – Vortex of the Belgian Guillaume De Ridder is not at the same level the day after. Finally, the Russian of Maranello, Maxim Zimin, fails to qualify by two places despite the repechage.

James Thorp (Maranello – Maxter) has won the two KF2 races. Best in the timed practice, he is the victim of a failure in a heat, but he makes a fast recover in prefinal before securing the final as well, thus climbing up the ranking. On an official Maranello as well, Giaguaro Nero has succeeded in a great recovery in prefinal and has gained 12 places. The Polish Karol Basz, pilot of Birel – Parilla of the MGM team, unfortunately has not been able to end one lap in the final, owing to an accident.

Good performance of Jonathan Thonon (CRG/Maxter) in KZ2, who holds his second place in the provisional ranking after ending 3rd then 2nd in the two races. Manuel Renaudie (Gillard/SGM) marks a very good season in 125 cc gearbox with PDB. He has stricken a series of remarkable performances since the beginning of the year.

In Sarno, a 10-second penalty caused him a delay in the prefinal and forced him to recover from 22nd to 9th in the final. The experienced Alessandro Piccini was forced to withdraw twice: once in the heat, then in the final. Despite this he ranks 6th overall. Thomas Mich has not been able to express his full potential with a chassis that was not up to the situation.

Davide Forè (Maranello/Maxter), testing the KZ ground in view of the World Cup, climbs the 3rd step of the podium. The young gentleman driver

Pierre Ragues deserts his Sport Protoype wheel as soon as he has the opportunity of enjoying a kart. Finally, the Belgian promising pilot Benjamin Bailly shows a remarkable progression in a category that he is just discovering. He conquers the 8th place in the final.
