At the South Garda Karting of Lonato (BS) the first round of the WSK Open Cup was staged with 262 drivers coming from the 5 continents representing 51 countries and the NEWMAN Motorsport team showed up at our starting points with 5 riders divided into the categories OKJ, with Olivieri, Filaferro and Petrovic and 60 Mini with Fraboni and Bogatinovski.

"It was a very informative weekend for all our kids who improved constantly at every session. We knew it would be very hard because the membership was really prestigious with all the most important names in the international karting scene, particularly in OKJ where we presented ourselves with three absolute newcomers, but it was important to be present to continue growing ” Andrea Pedrini comments with satisfaction.

"Once again we have shown that we have excellent material and I have to thank Tony Kart who has provided us with exceptional engines in particular. Flavio immediately adapted to the new material and to the new category turning on excellent chronometric results, reaching the Prefinal where, without the accident, he could have finished in the top ten by entering the Final. Filaferro and Petrovic have difficulty at the beginning, betrayed also by the physical preparation, but already on Saturday they changed the rhythm with Andrea who was running at just under 3 dec from the best, recovering many positions missing the access to the final stage for a just point. In the 60 Mini, I really liked Patrik even if he didn't have the consistency in the results. He was affected by the incident he was accused of in recent months right here in Lonato, ”the team manager concludes.

Olivieri was particularly acclaimed by recovering numerous positions in the three heats, gaining access to the Prefinal despite the withdrawal in the last round. After a difficult Friday, with the qualification concluded in twenty-second and twenty-sixth positions, Andrea Filaferro and Andrej Petrovic have recovered numerous positions reaching a good felling with the new material Tony Kart, with the Udine kart driver who lacks access to the final stage for just one point. In the 60 Mini Patrik Fraboni wins access to the Prefinal after recovering several positions in the Heat (10 positions recovered in the second run)
