The season debut was marked by a brilliant KZ2 podium secured by Daniel Vasile, competing for the first time with Maranello Kart. The event also saw highly impressive performances from Michael Barbaro Paparo (Monster K) and Angelo Lombardo (Maranello Kart), both of whom were great protagonists in a high-level international field of 58 drivers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel Vasile, after an unlucky start due to weather conditions, put in a strong recovery through the heats\u2014setting a lap record in 56.093s\u2014and continued his form in Prefinal B. In the Final, he delivered an extraordinary performance, climbing 15 positions to claim the third step of the podium. Along the way, he lowered the lap record even further to 56.068s, the absolute fastest lap of the entire event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Barbaro Paparo also delivered an excellent performance. A heat winner and consistently among the front runners throughout the Sarno weekend, he crossed the finish line in a solid fourth position.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credit also goes to Angelo Lombardo, who was a major player in the event. He has been consistently running at the front and ultimately finished in seventh place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Final results were unfortunately spoiled by the outcome for Maranello Kart\u2019s Giuseppe Palomba. Despite starting from the second row and showing brilliant pace all weekend, he was forced to retire due to a collision at the start.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other drivers competing at the WSK Super Master Series in Sarno with Viti Racing support included Gerasim Skulanov, Andrea Pirovano, and Andrey Sizov.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KZ2:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#120 SKULANOV GERASIM (\/\/), Monster K Factory Team \u2013 Monster K\/TM Kart\/LeCont<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#121 SIZOV ANDREY (\/\/), Monster K Factory Team \u2013 Monster K\/TM Kart\/LeCont<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#150 LOMBARDO Angelo (ITA), Maranello Kart \u2013 Maranello\/TM Kart\/LeCont<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#151 VASILE DANIEL (ROU), Maranello Kart \u2013 Maranello\/TM Kart\/LeCont<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#152 PIROVANO Andrea (ITA), Maranello Kart \u2013 Maranello\/TM Kart\/LeCont<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#153 PALOMBA Giuseppe (ITA), Maranello Kart \u2013 Maranello\/TM Kart\/LeCont<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#163 PAPARO Michael Barbaro (ITA), Monster K Factory Team \u2013 Monster K\/TM Kart\/LeCont<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Info and Results:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wskarting.it\/index.asp\">https:\/\/www.wskarting.it\/index.asp<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ph.
