OKJ: Taponen unbeatable once again

Angerville winner Tuukka Taponen (Redspeed/Iame/Vega) is back on dominant pace at Kristianstad wining all today’s qualifying heats. The Finn driver despite that he did not flighted yet with the qualifying practice pole sitter, Andrea Kimi Antonelli (KR/Iame/Vega) who was also strong winning most of the heats that he raced.

The day also had shocking moments. Championship leader, Thomas Ten Brinke (FA Kart/Vortex/Vega) crashed out with Miron Pingasov (FA Kart/Iame/Vega) in heat C-F. It is the first time that Ten Brinke has to retire in a FIA race this season, which will affect a lot his starting grid position for tomorrow’s final.

Also, a crazy accident happened in qualifying heat B-C at the start/finish line. A multiple crash between Hugo Heinonen (Parolin/Iame/Vega), Igor Cepil (KR/Iame/Vega), Robbie Avidan (Kosmic/Vortex/Vega), Frans Rintamäki (Parolin/Iame/Vega) and Juan Francisco Soldavini (Lenzokart/LKE/Vega), caused a slow period.
