The kart track "KC Morcone" hosted the "7a City of Morcone Cup" valid as third round of Center-South Zone. Despite the weather forecasts that on the eve were rather uncertain, especially for the day of race, the promoter has recorded a good presence of conductors and also the group of Rotax pilots has increased, however little, the number of participants in the Challenge. So despite the forecasts, spring temperatures and a shy sun accompanied the participants throughout the weekend.
Only a few drops of rain fell during race 2 of the Mini but did not make it necessary to use rain covers.
For the record we start from an overview on Rotax MiniMeanwhile, with great pleasure, the movement welcomed a new pilot: Riccardo (GC Racing 85) that has faced its first competitive commitment in official competitions. As for the results of the race, Nicola Murano confirmed his moment of grace by conquering the first position in qualifying and in both races played. His leadership never appeared at risk despite that Giovanni Calandro (Team Calandro) has put in place its great determination, its commitment is rewarded by the second position in the standings both in general and in the two races. Very well. Lorenzo Bruno (Laudato Racing) to his third absolute race that in qualifying scored a great 33:884 and deservedly conquered the third box in the grid. For him P3 also in race 1 while in race 2 had to settle for a good fourth square exceeded in departure from Gabriele Giannatiempo who showed that he was more comfortable on the asphalt made a little slippery by the drops of flat The winner of the South Zone Challenge 2022 had obtained a P4 in the first race. Sebastian G Procida (Scococo Corse) conquered two P5s despite having long been competing for better positions. Of the debut of Marano we have already said, the race of Lorenzo Trivisonno (team Calandro) that in race 1 is forced to retire for a failure to kart while in race 2 manages to get the sixth position.
Also in Max. we have a very welcome debut: Francesco Perillo, with his top kart he immediately showed himself to be competitive and to be able to play equal weapons with others even if his results were, in good and bad, conditioned by episodes. In qualifying Gerardo Casale (Laudato Racing) and Vincenzo Spina (GC Racing 85) score the same time while Perillo fails to qualify for a technical problem. The pole goes to Spina that at the start of race 1 does not start well leaving the head of the race to Casale that in half the race commits an error of trajectory and dirty tires, for Spina, that followed from near, the opportunity is too greedy and try to overcome but the two touch and get out of track and withdraw. Perillo, who remains quiet to watch, passes in the head and goes to win. In race 2 after a rather regular performance Perillo ends in the head but runs in a penalty for irregular muse and slips to the bull place in the standings Vince Spina followed by Casale and Perillo. In general Casale maintains its first position.
In DD is still a good test Francesco Palladino (Laudato Racing) that already in the FP on Saturday had always had a chrono and a better step than shown by his opponents. In qualifying stops the chronometer on 30:992 only pilot to break down the wall of 31 seconds is very little. His two races look like photocopies. With good departures he immediately takes an advantage that allows him to drive and without the ass of being attacked. Round after round consolidates the advantage and then gives the feeling of managing. Behind a great balance, Tiziano E. Arena (Laudato Racing) party in the front row is immediately attacked and exceeded by Daniele Sessa (Scococo Corse) taking the second position not to leave it any more despite the attempts to approach Arena, fourth is Kevin German (GC Racing 85) appeared a little in the shade in race 1. In race 2 it does not start very well Sessa from the second box, almost confirming that starting outside the pole is really difficult. At the first bend the three trackers are practically on a line. German seems to have found a good step and keeps for a few turns the second position until it is reached and attacked with great determination by Arena who then manages to maintain the second square. German is third followed by Sessa.
For the DD2 Masters Massimiliano Cioffi (Laudato Racing) is once again on its own but despite it puts great commitment and determination to stay focused on the races that count fromXI Mojo Trophy. Indeed, everyone looks at the 14th of May at the International Circuit of Viterbo as at the first opportunity of comparison with drivers from other areas.
In conclusion we only have to thank those who have offered a beautiful setting of hospitality and visibility to the competition. Giulio Parlapiano del Kartodromo Morcone, the karting club Scafati that organized the competition and, last but not least, Campania Kart that ensured the live streaming and television.
