  • Starting from Pole, Martinius Stenshorne (Rosberg Racing Academy - KR / IAME) wins the tight final of the OKJ. It was not all easy for the Norwegian, on the contrary, because he was immediately followed by Arvid Lindblad (KR Motorsport - KR / IAME) when the traffic lights went out. The two would in fact create an intense duel for the head of the race that will last until the middle of the race, at the end of which Arvid Lindblad will get second place.

  • Before that though, the Englishman slipped back to sixth position, as the tussle with Stenshorne allowed their opponents to close the gap. Among these there is also Karol Pasiewicz (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart / Vortex) who took the lead during the 11th lap and crossed the finish line in second place.

  • After the inspections, however, the Pole was disqualified. Brando Badoer (KR Motorsport - KR / IAME), third behind Pasiewicz behind the checkered flag, got away with a less harsh punishment as he was only penalized. The Italian was the author of a bad maneuver against Tymoteusz Kucharczyk (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART / TM Racing) on ​​the last corner of the last lap. At the end of the race the Pole gets off the kart visibly furious with the Italian, guilty, according to him, to have deprived him of a splendid third place conquered by overtaking after a not very bright start.

  • So, taking into account all penalties, Freddie Slater (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - Kosmic / Vortex) takes second place, while the third step of the podium is assigned to Arvid Lindblad who preceded Tymoteusz Kucharczyk. Behind them, in fifth position, the German Akshay Bohra (TB Racing Team - KR / IAME).

  • In sixth place we find Alfio Andrea Spina (KR Motorsport - KR / IAME) who saw his streak of victories interrupted, but amazed everyone with a comeback of 25 positions. It was only during the last lap that Spina managed to overtake Cristian Bertuca (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART / TM Racing), whose 14-position comeback ended in seventh place.

  • After the penalties, Brando Badoer is eighth ahead of Artem Severiukhin (Ward Racing - Tony Kart / Vortex) and Matteo De Palo (KGT Motorsport - FA Kart / IAME).

  • The retired list includes Ugo Ugochukwu (Ricky Flynn Motorsport - Kosmic / Vortex) and Alex Powell (Energy Corse - Energy / TM Racing), the latter victim of a contact with the American.

  • Behind the top ten, is worth noticing the excellent comebacks of Flavio Olivieri (Newman Motorsport - Tony Kart / Vortex) 12th with +16 positions recovered, and Rutty Cody Maynes (PCR Factory Team - PCR Vortex) 14th but with 15 positions recovered.
