KZ2 – Bertuca remains leader, but how many opponents
In KZ2 the competition became heated with the victory scored in Cremona by the Frenchman Emilien Denner (#11 Sodikart/Sodi-TM Kart-Vega) and the second place of his new teammate Giuseppe Palomba. The third place obtained in the second race by Cristian Bertuca (#1 BirelART Racing/BirelART-TM Kart) still keeps the leadership of the Italian driver intact, winner in the first round in Lonato, however the competitiveness expressed by the two Sodikart drivers gives a lot of confidence to the French team. In Franciacorta, however, the number of drivers in KZ2 has literally doubled, with the arrival of many other international champions in the category, and the challenge will certainly become hotter.

1st Cristian Bertuca (ITA) 171 points
2nd Emilien Denner (FRA) 97 points
3rd Giuseppe Palomba (ITA) 88 points
4th Daniel Vasile (ROU) 64 points
