Final Race Senior | Euro Series Round 2, Třinec 🇨🇿

Описание: OK: Joe Turney doubles up

Joe Turney (KR Motorsport) just keeps on winning! Winner of the Champions of the Future Euro Series in Valencia in March, and also of the first round of the FIA Karting European Championship, he added a new victory to his record in the Czech Republic. It wasn't all plain sailing for the Briton, who was only 51st in Timed Practice! In the rain of the Final, however, he was heroic. In Třinec, it all started with a perfect run by the Brazilian Gomez in the dry. He started 1st in the rain in the Final, but had to give way to the British driver Kean Nakamura Berta (Prema Racing) on the third lap. The latter was the leader for a long time, but was threatened by Joe Turney in the last part of the race.

14th on the starting grid of the Final, but already 8th on the first lap, Turney quickly climbed up the order. On the 14th of the 25 laps, he swapped positions with Nakamura Berta. After the finish, five-second penalties were imposed on the two frontrunners. Thanks to the lead he took in the last laps, Turney climbed to the top of the podium, but Gomez recovered 2nd place at the expense of Nakamura Berta. Always fast in the rain, the Briton Nathan Tye (Sodikart) was 4th ahead of the Latvian Tomass Stolcermanis (Energy Corse), who had initially finished in front of Tye but was penalised for incorrect positioning of the front fairing.

Dutchman Rene Lammers (Parolin Motorsport) was 6th ahead of Poland's Jan Przyrowski (Tony Kart Racing Team) and two other drivers who were making a comeback. After having fallen from 5th to last place at the beginning of the race, Jamaican Alex Powell (Prema Racing) managed a spectacular comeback in 8th position with the fastest lap. Without this incident, he could have been aiming for the podium. A few lengths behind him, the Brazilian World Champion Matheus Morgatto gained no less than 23 places! Italian Simone Bianco (CRG) completed the top 10.

Several drivers lost their hopes with the arrival of the rain, such as the Italian Sebastiano Pavan (Tony Kart Racing Team), the Irishman Fionn MacLaughlin (VDK Racing), the Czech Jakub Kamenik (Gamoto), Luxembourg’s Guillaume Bouzar (Koski Motorsport), the Pole Gustav Wisniewski (Forza Racing) and the Dane David Walther (Koski Motorsport).

On the podium, the drivers received beautiful trophies personalised with the colours of the Czech Republic, made in part with recycled tyre rubber. The drivers and teams were able to return home quickly after the Finals scheduled on Saturday by RGMMC, so that everyone could be at school, at work or at home on Monday!
