• Giuseppe Palomba (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART - TM Racing) wins two victories in two Heats disputed and takes the first position in the provisional classification.


• Second position for Danilo Albanese (KR Motorsport - KR - Iame). For the Italian, two heats disputed with a win and a third place, same results for Alex Irlando (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART - TM Racing).

The Finn is currently the author of an excellent comeback.


• The 2020 European KZ Champion Marijn Kremers (Birel ART Racing - Ricciardo Kart - TM Racing) wins the clash of groups B-D while, due to a contact, ends up in the rear in the following heat. At the moment he is in 23rd position in the general classification.

• Tom Leuillet (Praga Kart Racing Team - Prague - TM Racing) moved from fourth place in the timed practice to 22nd provisional place due to a contact in Heat C-D where he finished only 18th.

OK: Joseph Turney the new leader

• Joseph Turney (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart - Vortex) with a win and a second place in the two heats disputed is currently the best driver for the OK category.
