Lonato del Garda (ITA).
A great event characterized the Andrea Margutti Trophy once again at South Garda Karting. The race is now in its 36th edition with the presence of major national and international teams, and 250 entries from 36 nations. It was a beautiful sporting and technical confrontation on the 1,200 meters of the Lonato track in memory of the young Andrea Margutti, a promising karting talent who passed away in 1989 at just 14 years old, whom the Parma Motorsport organization wants to remember every year since 1990.
The event, included in the FIA Karting international calendar, took place over a rather difficult weekend due to a light rain that challenged the drivers, but in the end, after the hard-fought qualifying phases and the Prefinals, Algre (MINI U10), Scognamiglio (OKN), Berezkin (OKJ), Perico (MINI Gr.3), Osadchyi-Suslovskyi (OKNJ) and Bertuca (KZ2) won in the Finals.
