Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata, 25 August 2018. The qualifying heats of the sixth round of the ACI Karting Italian Championship in Val Vibrata on Saturday 25 August and necessary to define the starting grid for the first series of finals on Sunday 26 August, confirmed the competitiveness of the best riders who had stood out in the time trials on Friday, but not without some surprises.

Among the 160 registered drivers involved in the 1050 meters circuit of Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata (Teramo), a good challenge was expected at the top, and so it was, started under a great sun and hot temperature, attenuated in the evening by a strong and sudden downpour.

In KZ2 the first to clamorously forfeit the start of the first heat was the leader of the standings, Giacomo Pollini (Formula K-Tm), badly started from the second row and immediately involved in an accident, along with Danilo Albanese (Tony Kart- Vortex) and the color partner Natalia Balbo (Formula K-Tm). To take advantage of the situation were the first two drivers of the deployment that have taken off, Francesco Celenta (Prague-Tm) who managed to parade the poleman Giuseppe Palomba (Intrepid-Tm), while Flavio Sani (Maranello-Tm) was the other great interpreter of this race placing himself in third place. The recovery of Simone Cunati (CRG-Tm) from 14th to 4th is also excellent, and the good performance of Francesco Iacovacci at the debut with Maranello Kart fifth on the finish line of the first heat. The second heat reserved a negative surprise to Palomba, forced to retire due to the breaking of the throttle wire shortly after going into the lead with a great overtaking on Celenta. With Palomba out of court, Celenta was still the winner, this time in front of a great Simone Cunati, with Flavio Sani still third. Fourth Francesco Iacovacci, fifth Davide Forè (BirelArt-Tm), sixth Filippo Berto (CRG-Tm).

In KZ3 Junior dominated the poleman Roberto Cesari (Formula K-Tm) in both heats. In the first of the two heats Cesari preceded Francesco Temperini (Tony Kart-Tm) and Lorenzo Petrucci (CRG-Tm), while in the second heat in second and third position respectively Nicolò Zin (KR-Tm) and Fabrizio Del Brutto (CRG) -TM).

In KZ3 Under the first heat has lived on the domain of the author of the pole position, Emanuele Simonetti (Tony Kart-Tm), while in the second heat he was Alessandro Cavina (Parolin-Tm) to win the race, with Simonetti second and Sirio Costantini (Intrepid-Tm) third. Filippo D'Attanasio (Formula K-Tm), who finished second in the first heat, finished fifth in the second heat. Among the best also Alessio Zanotti (Maranello-Tm), fourth in both races.

In KZ3 Over a good result managed to get him Riccardo Loddo (CRG-Tm) already author of the pole position and winner of the first run, while here Roberto Profico (Tony Kart-Tm) initially had to settle for second position, with the other Loddo, brother Jonni (CRG-Tm) third. Profico, however, managed to redeem himself by winning the second heat, with the two brothers Loddo always protagonists, Riccardo secondo and Jonni third. In this second race Claudio Tempesti (CRG-Tm) recovered well from the tests until he finished fourth.

In the Iame X30 Junior the first heat saw the domination of Edoardo Ludovico Villa (TB Kart-Iame) on Francesco Pulito (Top Kart-Iame) in great recovery and the Italian-American Ugo Ugochukwu (Tony Kart-Iame). In the second run, Ugochukwu was the one to establish itself on Pulito and Villa. Federico Cecchi (Tony Kart-Iame) and Leonardo Fornaroli (KR-Iame) placed fourth and fifth respectively in both heats.

In the X30 Senior Luigi Coluccio (BirelArt-Iame), Aleksander Bardas (Top Kart-Iame) and Leonardo Caglioni (KR-Iame) were the three main protagonists of the category in both heats. Coluccio won the first heat on Bardas, the latter won the second heat on Coluccio, while Caglioni placed third in both races. Danny Carenini (Tony Kart-Iame), author of the pole position, placed fourth and then fifth respectively after Francesco Pagano (KR-Iame).

In the two categories of the Trofeo Rotax, the first heat in the Senior saw the victory of Filippo Laghi (Tony Kart-Rotax) and the withdrawal of the championship leader of Davide Vuano (Praga-Rotax), while in the Junior was Elia Galvanin (Exprit -Rotax) to win the victory. The second race was instead stopped 3 laps from the end for a sudden downpour, with the final result in the Senior of Lakes still winner and Vuano in second place, and in the Junior victory for Vincenzo Scarpetta (Tony Kart-Rotax) on Galvanin.

The Naskart Trophy has experienced the qualifying session under an authentic flood. The pole position in 53.802 went to Moreno Di Silvestre, with 0.488 lead over Alfredo De Matteo and 0.982 over Lapo Nencetti, all on Righetti Ridolfi-Modena.
