  • The British Joseph Turney (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart / Vortex) defeated his opponents starting from the eleventh spot on the grid and completed an unbelievable comeback when there were still 8 laps to go, taking the lead of the race from Robert De Haan (Energy Corse - Energy / TM Racing)

  • The Dutchman of the Energy house seemed to have everything he needed to fight for the final victory, leading the race for 8 laps. Afterbeing overtaken by Turney, however, Andrea Kimi Antonelli (KR Motorsport - KR / IAME) and Lorenzo Travisanutto (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart / Vortex) followed suit, making him slide to 4th place.

  • These two will get on the podium behind Joseph Turney. Travisanutto, second, must surrender to his teammate after starting from Pole. The Tony Kart Racing Team driver does not give anything to Andrea Kimi Antonelli. The young debutant is however the author of an outstanding performance: first of all, he recovers position after position after a bad start and then he fights on equal terms with the two-time reigning World Champion.

  • The star of the weekend Nikita Bedrin (Ward Racing - Tony Kart / Vortex) finishes fifth but this time to ruin the Winter Cup of the Russian was bad luck, which got in the way with a retirement in Super Heat.

  • Luigi Coluccio (Kosmic Kart Racing Department - Kosmic Kart / Vortex) is 6th after that in the first few laps appeared to be able to challenge Travisanutto for the second place. Behind him stands Kirill Smal (Energy Corse - Energy / TM Racing) who after the Pole and the victories in the Heats certainly expected more from this weekend, also ruined by a contact in the Super Heat that prevents him from concluding the race.Edoardo Ludovico Villa (TBKart - TBKart / IAME) is immediately behind them and brings the TBKart chassis back to the top positions.

  • In ninth and tenth position, two other drivers who with their comebacks became protagonists of this Final. The first is Pedro Hiltbrand (Tony Kart Racing Team - Tony Kart / Vortex), who with this performance redeems the zero remedied in the Super Heat. The other is Taylor Barnard (Rosberg racing Academy - KR / IAME), whose comeback, however, starts from even further away, even from Qualifying in which he did not take part. In addition to the 10 positions recovered today (14 if it were not for a penalty that Hiltbrand is also a victim of), the Englishman also snatches the fastest lap of the race.

  • In 11th position we find James Wharton (Parolin Racing - Parolin / TM Racing) who messes around a bit like Josep Maria Martì (KR Motorsport - KR / IAME) only 14th
    Recovering respectively 6 and 9 positions are Jamie Day (Leclerc By lennox Racing - Birel ART / TM Racing) and Nikolas Pirrtilahti (Birel ART Racing - Birel ART / TM Racing) who finished in 18th and 25th position after a difficult weekend.
