The 32 drivers in KZ provided a great spectacle with a single qualifying session. Rick Dreezen (Tony Kart / Vortex) waited on the dummy grid and took to the track first, when half the allotted time had elapsed. The pack followed, everyone took care to warm up their machine and the first laps were so insignificant they didn’t fall until 2 minutes before the end. Of course, then everything happened at a breakneck pace …
Max Verstappen (CRG / TM) and Anthony Abbasse (Sodi / TM) shared the fastest laps, Jonathan Thonon (CRG / Maxter) then started to interfere, Marco Ardigo (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Fabian Federer (CRG / Modena) showed the tips of their spoilers, but the session ended with a superb duel between Verstappen and Jorrit Pex (CRG / TM). Max set his best time on the last lap, but there was a few hundred meters for Jorrit to respond, which he did beautifully with 47” 873,” a brilliant 0,115s faster than Max. Davide Fore (CRG / TM) also played his best card late in the session and is third with Ardigo fourth only 0.135” from pole, while Charles Leclerc (ART GP / TM) climbed to fifth position at the last moment. Paolo De Conto (Birel / TM) finished in sixth place ahead of Abbasse. Yannick De Brabander (Maranello / TM) failed to start on the grid despite a change of spark plug.
