OK. On the South Garda circuit of Lonato on the occasion of the 21st Winter Cup, Karol Basz gained, at the end of a weekend not always easy, an excellent third place.
The race of the World Champion was positive and full of overtakings and with an interesting initial duel with Ben Hanley, on which Basz has prevailed.
Our driver was preceded by the two Tony Kart-Vortex drivers Nielsen and Travisanutto, confirming that the technical material manufactured in our company is top-range.
The Winter Cup showed us the good performance of our young Swedish Noah Milell, who has proven to quickly learn and put carefully into practice any information he has bee given by the team.

OK JUNIOR. The result of the track leaves a little disappointment because the real potential of our drivers was hindered by some incidents. Just due to a collision during the heats Daniel Vebster got injured and once more because of an accident Théo Pourchaire is out of the games. At the prefinal start he was pushed off the track, losing the second position and any chance to reach the podium in the final.
A collision at the start of the "B" pre-final has damaged the good work that all the Racing Department had done until then. Pourchaire was fifth at the end of the heats and had the potential to reach the podium.
Charles Weerts has entered the top ten, in eighth place, running a final in which he was able to make several overtakings.
Franck Chappard was sent in the back positions because of he was given the penalty of ten seconds for having crossed the line with the front bumper placed incorrectly.

KZ2. To our drivers the weekend at South Garda in Lonato was ambivalent. Andreas Backman got a positive Winter Cup and his seventh timing in qualifying showed that the potential to perform well was high. So it was and Backman finished the heats in tenth place, always placing in the top ten, and crossed the finish line of the final in tenth position.
Less positive was the weekend of Patrik Hajek, involved in a collision during the prefinal, when the front bumper unhooked. As a result of what happened, Hajek suffered the penalty of 10" in the finishing ranking, slipping out of the final.
