In KZ1, Norman Nato and Roberto Toninelli were very competitive at Mariembourg, but a series of race mishaps compromised their winning chances. As the French pilot put it: “After setting the third time in timed qualifying, I easily won the first heat, before getting a penalty for pushing another pilot. But that pilot had not been very regular, because he had braked in the middle of a turn, so I could not avoid him. Anyway I finished the other heat in second position but that accident pushed me back in 8th position, while I could have started in the first row. Then my team mate Roberto Toninelli and I had a communication problem during Race 1 and unfortunately we collided. Pity, because we lost precious points for the Championship. But I managed to finish 7th overall anyway”. With a 16 place recovery and 5th best time in race, Toninelli confirmed his speed at the wheel of his Intrepid-TM. The same can be said about Manuel Cozzaglio, 9th in the Championship despite a penalty for an early start at Mariembourg.
