“It’s a very difficult competition, with a lot of strong rivals,” Kirill Smal said. “There is very high competition, but I managed to take pole in qualifying practice on Friday, and to win two heats on Saturday. In the final race there was a very tight fight, I fought a lot with my rivals, and I managed to gain only five positions. Of course, I would have liked to move up higher, especially since I had good pace, but there was not enough time.”

On February 21-23, the second round of the WSK Super Master Series will take place at the same South Garda Karting circuit.
