Angelo Lombardo, su Maranello Kart-Maranello/TM Kart/LeCont, si è imposto fra i 48 partecipanti nella categoria anche nella finale dopo aver realizzato un clamoroso e completo en-plein nella fase di qualificazione. Il pilota siciliano ha infatti ottenuto la pole position in prova, la vittoria in tutte e tre le manches e la vittoria nella Super Heat-1, per poi aggiudicarsi la bella vittoria nella finale. Fra i piloti Viti Racing nella KZ2 Masters, fra i migliori anche il croato Kristijan Habulin, nella finale quinto con TBKart Racing Team-TBKart/TM Kart.

La gara della Champions of the Future è preludio del Campionato del Mondo di FIA Karting della prossima settimana che si disputerà sempre a Franciacorta, e certamente questo risultato infonde fiducia ad Angelo Lombardo e Viti Racing anche per il prossimo appuntamento, come ha confermato il pilota siciliano: “𝘈𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘢𝘮𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥, 𝘥𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘢𝘮𝘰 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘰 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘦 𝘤’𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘢 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘦.

Giuseppe Palomba, anche questi su Maranello Kart-Maranello/TM Kart/LeCont, avrebbe certamente meritato il podio dopo la sua bella prestazione in prova con il quarto tempo a 48 millesimi dalla pole position, la prima posizione dopo le tre manches, e la terza posizione nella Super Heat. Nella finale ha lottato per le prime posizioni, poi quando era ormai in vista dell’arrivo con il terzo posto è stato tamponato a una curva dal traguardo. In campionato il pilota napoletano ha concluso in terza posizione.

Nella KZ2 “l’armata” di Viti Racing si è ben comportata con l’obiettivo di mettere a frutto l’esperienza di questa prova in vista del Campionato del Mondo della prossima settimana. Nell’intenso weekend di Franciacorta della Champions of the Future ci sono state diverse interessanti prestazioni, come quelle espresse dal belga Elie Goldstein con TBKart Racing Team-TBKart/TM Kart/LeCont, anche se nella finale si è dovuto accontentare del 17mo posto. Fra i migliori anche il siciliano Michael Barbaro Paparo, con Monster K Factory Team-Monster K-TM Kart, sfortunato però nella finale, così come il calabrese Ermanno Quintieri con Maranello Kart.

Angelo Lombardo secured a stunning victory with Viti Racing engines at the Franciacorta Karting Track in the second round of the shifters category’s Champions of the Future. The Sicilian driver demonstrated clear superiority in KZ2 Masters.

Also noteworthy was the excellent performance by Giuseppe Palomba in KZ. He was a leading protagonist throughout the weekend and was only prevented from reaching the podium by an unfortunate contact with an opponent just before the finish line. Despite this incident, Palomba is third in the championship when combining his points with the first race in Valencia, Spain.

Angelo Lombardo, driving a Maranello Kart-Maranello/TM Kart/LeCont kart, won the final among the 48 participants in the category after achieving a spectacular and complete clean sweep during the qualifying phase.

The Sicilian driver secured pole position in practice, won all three heats, and took victory in Super Heat-1, before claiming the impressive win in the Final. Among the Viti Racing drivers in KZ2 Masters, the Croatian Kristijan Habulin was also among the best, finishing fifth in the final with TBKart Racing Team-TBKart/TM Kart.

The Champions of the Future race serves as the prelude to the FIA Karting World Championship next week, which will also be held at Franciacorta. This result certainly instills confidence in Angelo Lombardo and Viti Racing for the upcoming event, as the Sicilian driver confirmed: “𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘯.

Giuseppe Palomba, also driving a Maranello Kart-Maranello/TM Kart/LeCont kart, certainly deserved a podium finish after his excellent performance in practice, where he was fourth-fastest, just 0.048s off the pole position time. He then secured the top position after the three heats and finished third in the Super Heat. In the Final, he was battling for the top positions but, while in third place and in sight of the finish line, he was hit from behind at a corner by an opponent. The driver from Naples concluded the championship in third position overall.

Also among the top performers were the Sicilian Michael Barbaro Paparo (Monster K Factory Team-Monster K-TM Kart), who was unlucky in the Final, as was the Calabrian driver Ermanno Quintieri with Maranello Kart.
