On Saturday midday after four qualifying heats out of 10, the World Championship heat rankings at Essay are starting to settle down. The weather is very hot even for Normandy.
Nicklas Nielsen (Kosmic / Vortex) remains the solid KF category leader with two victories and an impressive lead over the competition. Paolo Besancenez (Tony Kart / TM) won a race by overtaking Callum Ilott (Zanardi / Parilla) on the last lap and Gabriel Aubry (Tony Kart / Vortex) has made a good comeback to third position. With two heats completed Lando Norris (FA Kart / Vortex), Tom Joyner (Zanardi / Parilla), Kevin Rossel (Kosmic / Vortex), the surprise of the day, and Karol Basz (Tony Kart / Vortex) are among the the most serious competitors, and Felice Tiene (CRG / Parilla) could also be added. There’s no chance for Niko Kari (Tony Kart / Vortex), Alessio Lorandi (Tony Kart / Parilla) and Julien Darras (ART GP / TM), all three victims of retirements or for Ben Hanley (ART GP / TM) who is still off the pace. Two races are still under investigation by the stewards.
