CIK FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP OK / OKJ
BY S. CORRADENGO
A jump back in time. This is the first impression one has when crossing the gates of the Kartshop Ampfing, home to the third stage of the FIA Karting European Championship for the OK and OKJ classes on the 17 June weekend. Forget F1-style infrastructure, hotels and glazed towers; forget about long straights and curves to run at full throttle, because Ampfing is an old-fashioned track, which may seem unwelcoming with its unpaved paddock, but it certainly has character. And in the end that’s what matters; it’s racing, right? Lorenzo Travisanutto, the moral winner of the Senior challenge, a few steps from the checkered flag, and his first success in the European Championship, lifted his foot to the advantage of Hannes Janker, also equipped with KR, but in a better position in the championship.
