LAMMERS, BONDAREV AND MARTI CROWNED AT CREMONA
In relatively hot weather, the final day of the Italian round at Cremona saw Dutchman Rene Lammers win the FIA Karting European Championship - OK, while Ukrainian Oleksandr Bondarev took victory in the FIA European Karting Championship - Junior. Spaniard Hugo Marti was the overall winner of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy.
The thermometer hit the 30s on Sunday afternoon during the Cremona Finals, without causing any particular problems for the drivers, the machines or the tyres supplied by MG for OK and Vega for Juniors and the Academy. The ranking of the three categories was gradually established right up to the end of the Qualifying phases, leading to the victory of three different drivers, who were then rewarded as Champions. The Cremona Karting circuit confirmed its undeniable selectivity at this level in the presence of the President and Vice-President of the FIA Karting, Akbar Ebrahim and John Ryan. In addition, the rigour of the race direction and the stewards was appreciated for its contribution to the sporting fairness of the event.
