Rome, June 3rd, 2021. All the main protagonists of the Italian ACI Karting Championship had already got on track for the fourth round of the series that will take place from June 4th to 6th at the Circuit of Siena. The opening free practice took place on Thursday and all the categories are gearing up ahead of the challenge of qualifying that will get underway today. On track are the categories KZ2, MINI Group 3, 60 Mini, Rok Junior and Rok Senior, with the latter getting their Italian 2021 titles awarded on this occasion.
In KZ2 all drivers chasing Palomba’s lead.
In KZ2 the challenge is against classification leader Giuseppe Palomba (LG Motorsport/BirelART-TM Racing), who, after the rounds of Jesolo and Adria, is also leading the new KZ2 Under 20 classification. The main contenders are Marco Tormen (Modena Kart/BirelART-TM Racing), Giacomo Pollini (NGM Motorsport/CRG-TM Racing) and Alessio Piccini (Tribe One/BirelART-TM Racing), but other drivers definitely have what it takes to challenge Palomba for the lead.
A great presence as usual in MINI Gr.3 and 60 Mini.
The classification leader after the round of Val Vibrata in MINI Gr.3 is the Czech driver Jindrich Pesl (Baby Race/Parolin-Iame), but the protagonists are a lot here and the duels tight and unpredictable. The presence in Siena is great as 57 drivers made it onto the track in this category, Category 60 Mini also scored important numbers. The 30 drivers present here will be led by the provisional classification leader Gino Rocchio (Team Driver/KR-TM Racing).
Rok Junior and Rok Senior towards the first Italian title of the season.
The two Rok categories, Junior and Senior, will get their first Italian title of the season after the double finals in Siena. The final classification will be drawn based on the best 4 results out of the 6 finals. This round will have the coefficient 1,5, which means that everything can still happen. The provisional leaders are Alessandro Antonelli (Parolin-Vortex) in Rok Junior and Marco Matera (MAD Racing/Tony Kart-Vortex) in Rok Senior.
