Viti Racing engines claimed the victory with three drivers on the podium and, for the second consecutive time, also the title in the second and decisive round of the FIA Karting European Championship at the International Circuit Napoli in Sarno in KZ2 category with the young British driver Freddie Slater and the Birel ART team on TM Kart.
It was a remarkable sweep on the podium for Viti Racing and Birel ART, with the newly crowned 2023 champion Slater and the other two incredibly fast young drivers, the Romanian Daniel Vasile and Italian Cristian Bertuca. A true “clean sweep” in the Sarno final, highlighted by the standings of the 2023 European KZ2 Championship, with 3 Viti Racing drivers in the top 4 positions: first place for Freddie Slater with 150 points, second for Daniel Vasile with 105 and fourth for Cristian Bertuca with 84!
