21 laps in the heat of Kristianstad were scheduled for the European KF-Junior final of the 3rd round in 2014. Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart / Parilla) was on the front row next to Daniel Ticktum (Zanardi / Parilla), the winners of the two Prefinals. Lorandi was in the lead after the start, but Lorenzo Travisanutto (PCR / TM) completed the first lap in 1st place before going onto the edge of the track and losing a lot of time. In the confusion, Christian Lundgaard (Tony Kart / Vortex) took the lead ahead of Lorandi and Max Fewtrell (FA Kart / Vortex). But the British driver dropped out of the fight in favour of Juan Correa (Energy / TM), who had started without panache. Travisanutto came back to 4th from Bard Verkroost (FA Kart / TM), Julia Pankiewicz (Tony Kart / TM), and Logan Sargeant Ticktum (FA Kart / Vortex). In 9th position, Mick Junior (Tony Kart / Vortex) had regained taken 14 places. Correa received a technical incident flag and had to go in. Devlin DeFrancesco (Tony Kart / Vortex) retired after a difficult start to the race, and David Beckmann (Tony Kart / Parilla) had retired earlier.
Ross Martin (Tony Kart / TM) and Alexander Vartanyan (Tony Kart / Vortex) had dropped sharply in the early laps. Correa returned to the track in 21st position after a repair. The leading trio was very compact with Lundgaard ahead of Verkroost and Travisanutto. Mick Junior grabbed 4th place from Lorandi and Ticktum was 6th, Fewtrell 7th, Pankiewicz 8th and Sargeant 9th. Travisanutto passed Verkroost for 2nd place on lap 15, and then the Dutch driver was attacked by Mick Junior and he defending himself until the penultimate lap. The last lap had no shortage of entertainment with an attack on Lundgaard by Travisanutto who then cut the chicane. Mick Junior was finally passed by Verkroost at the last corner for a finish that deserves some investigation.
