[translated with Google Translate]

Typical conditions at the end of the autumn characterized the weekend at the South Garda Karting of Lonato with the torrential rain that fell intermittently starting from the qualifications, held exceptionally on Saturday afternoon. Rain that finally gave way to the sun and to finals played with a dry track: the particular weather conditions led to a reshuffling of the forces in the field during the whole weekend, giving an exhilarating show.
The winners of a historic "Lonato GP" were: Andrea Calabrese (60 Easy), Riccardo Volpi (BMB Challenge), Leonardo Principalli (100), Mattia Moretti (125) and Domenico Palumbo (125 Senior).

60: Tris of victories for "The Shark" Andrea Calabrese

Andrea Calabrese won his third consecutive win of the season: pole, victory in the Prefinal and Final - a precious precious hat trick considering the weather conditions that made everything more uncertain. Behind him, Riccardo Ferrari, second at the end of a weekend he always lived at the top with second place in qualifying and fourth in the Prefinal. Exciting third place and fastest lap for Marco Barbaglia at the end of a spectacular comeback from fifteenth position.

BMB Challenge: hat trick by Riccardo Volpi

The BMB Challenge finished with lots of twists and turns with three riders taking the lead. At the end, it was Riccardo Volpi after winning pole and first place in the Prefinal. On the second step of the podium, Cristina Fotia with ten positions recovered compared to the starting position while Andrea Procino was third, after competing for the victory for most of the race. Fastest lap by Luca Vanzetto.

100: Leonardo Principalli grants the encore

Second victory affirmation for Leonardo Principalli at the end of a thrilling Final in a growing weekend. A sweaty and not obvious triumph the one obtained by the Swiss driver thanks to Adam Kowalski, a fantastic second: the eighth at the start, the Czech driver, immediately managed to reassemble, he also passed in the lead during the twelfth lap and set the lap more fast. The final saw another comeback, that of Simone Principalli - third at the finish line after starting from box number eleven!

125: the first by Mattia Moretti. Domenico Palumbo first in Senior

Mattia Moretti wins his first victory in 125. Second at the start, Moretti took the lead during the second lap and maintained the leadership until the checkered flag. A result still made uncertain thanks to Alessandro Girotti, who contended for Mattia to win until the end, closing just over three tenths of a distance. On the third step of the podium Daniele Tassone with seven places recovered compared to the starting position and managed to score the fastest lap.
A first win of the season also in Senior: it is Domenico Palumbo, eighth overall, to cross the finish line first in the category reserved for the over 40s. In second place is Rosolino Caralla, in the lead up to the penultimate lap, Vincenzo Bulgarelli third.

Easytraining

As at every round, also in Lonato the younger brothers of the Easytraining present - the non-competitive category born with the aim of introducing children to the world of karting through theoretical lessons, free practice and race simulations held by the Sabino Instructor and professional driver de Castro.
The Easykart world will meet in Adria on 22-23 June for the fourth round of the season. Start the second round!

Stay racing, stay tuned ... and think Easy!
