  • With the first position obtained at the end of the Heats, Marijn Kremers (Birel ART Racing - Ricciardo Kart - TM Racing) gets back on track in the fight for the European Champion title. In fact, Kremers gets two third places to which he adds a victory in the first heat that allow him to take home all the ten points up for grabs today, a day in which his opponents have made many mistakes.

  • Noah Milell (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex) and Stan Pex (KR Motorsport - KR - TM Racing), second and third at the end of the day, collide in fact already at the first corner of the first heat giving the victory to the reigning World Champion. In the afternoon, Milell wins the other two remaining heats, again ahead of Pex. In the afternoon, Milell will then win the other two remaining heats, always ahead of Pex. The two had one race less in their tires than their rivals, the after they retired shortly after the start of the first heat.

  • Adrien Renaudin (Sodikart - Sodi - TM Racing), fourth, precedes Riccardo Longhi (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART - TM Racing) who after a third and a fourth place is forced to finish the last heat in eleventh position following a early contact with Fabian Federer (SRP Racing Team - Maranello TM Racing). The contact causes the retirement of the Italian from SRP Racing Team who will then be last in the ranking at the end of a day in which he is also penalized for an bad maneuver.

  • Jorrit Pex (KR Motorsport - KR - TM Racing) finished sixth ahead of the two championship leaders Alessandro Irlando (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART - TM Racing) and Simo Puhakka (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart – Vortex), today struggling either because of contacts on the track (Irlando) or for not finding pace (Puhakka), and constantly far from the frontrunners.

  • Bas Lammers (Sodikart - Sodi - TM Racing), 11th in qualifying yesterday, manages to find the necessary speed to come home in fifth place in the last heat and thus finish ninth in the ranking preceding a struggling Matteo Viganò (Leclerc By Lennox Racing - Birel ART - TM Racing), 10th ahead of Luis Speck (TB Kart - TB Kart - TM Racing).

  • For David Trefilov (SRP Racing Team - Maranello - TM Racing), a victory, a fourth and a fifth place were enough to take the top of the KZ2 rankings at the end of the very hard-fought Qualifying Heats. The German thus gained 5 positions compared to yesterday's qualifying which was won by Viktor Gustavsson (Leclerc By Lennox Racing -Birel ART - TM Racing), who instead ended the day in fourth place.

  • The Swede managed to win the first Heat of the morning, raced partly on the the wet, thanks to a risky maneuver on the last corner of the last lap by Kristijan Habulin (TB Kart - TB Kart - TM Racing), charging his way forward with the slick tires on the track that was drying out while everyone was on rain tires. The TB Kart driver - who will be penalized – causes the withdrawal of Tom Leuillet (Praga Racing Team - Praga - TM Racing), at that moment leading the race. Gustavsson will then get a tenth and a fifth place that will make him fall down the order in the Qualifying Heat ranking also behind Simone Cunati (Modena Kart ASD - Birel ART - TM Racing) and Paavo Tonteri (SC Performance - Tony Kart - Vortex), both fighting for the title .

  • Leonardo Marseglia (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART - TM Racing) moves up to fifth place ahead of Kristijan Habulin and Senna Van Walstijn (CPB Sport - Sodi - TM Racing) who, despite a win and a second place with even a fastest lap, fails to go beyond seventh place due to a heavy penalty handed to him in the first heat in which he overtakes under the yellow flag.

  • Gilles Stadsbader (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex) gains three positions and precedes Tom Leuilet, who after his withdrawal in the morning gets a fifth and a second place, and Jean Nomblot (CPB Sport - Sodi - TM Racing).

  • Behind Robert Kindervater (Birel ART Racing KSW - Birel ART - TM Racing), 11th, Lorenzo Giannoni (CPB Sport - Sodi - TM Racing) climbs 11 positions up to 12th place. Arthur Carbonnel (CPB Sport - Sodi - TM Racing) recovered 17 places to end 15th while yesterday suffered a technical problem that compromised his qualifying.

  • Giuseppe Palomba (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART - TM Racing), third in the standings before arriving here in Genk, will start from 17th position in tomorrow’s final.

  • Zachary David (Philippines) will be the driver who will start from pole in the final of the second round of the FIA Karting Academy Trophy. With a win and two fourth places, David ends the heats with the same penalty points as Connor Zilisch (USA). The winner of the first round, thanks to two seconds and a third place, thus manages to make up for a bad qualifying that saw him finish in 17th place.

  • Matteo De Palo (Italy) moves into third position ahead of polemanTom Braeken (Belgium), who scored  a victory but also an eleventh place. Fifth place, instead, for an unlucky Maceo Capietto (France), who after two victories is involved in a contact in the last heat.

  • Among today's winners there are also Theo Micouris (Great Britain), seventh in the ranking, and Gianni Andrisani (Germany), 19th.
