The 44th edition of the Trofeo delle Industrie, the most ancient karting race that is still
continuously been held and organized since 1971 by Parma Karting, started on a high at the
South Garda Karting of Lonato.
Out of the 141 drivers entered in the event that is part of the CIK-FIA calendar, 134 made it actively
to the track for this 44th Trofeo delle Industrie, with a lot of strong names in the three categories
KZ2, KF Junior and 60 Mini.
The first day of KZ2 free practice saw a great battle among the 62 drivers on track, as the young
emerging driver Tommaso Mosca, on Maranello-Tm, has been the quickest so far in 41.181s.

A good challenge among the top racers of this event has already kicked off. The quickest in the
other practice sessions have been Andrea Dalè (CRG-Tm) in two occasions, as did the Italian
reigning champion Riccardo Longhi (CRG-Tm), then Giacomo Pollini (CRG-Tm), Alessandro
Pelizzari (CKR-Modena) and Davide Forè (CRG-Tm). A good performance has been put in by

Leonardo Lorandi (Tony Kart-Vortex), Massimo Dante (Maranello-Tm), Enrico Bernardotto
(Maranello-Modena) and Fabian Federer (CRG-Maxter). A good number of title contenders

In 60 Mini, that had 37 drivers on track, Francesco Crescente (Tony Kart-Tm) has been the
quickest absolute in 49.627s, and he posted the quickest time in two sessions, but several other
drivers were only a few thousands short of him as Mattia Michelotto (Energy-Parilla), who was the
quickest in three sessions, Federico Cecchi (Tony Kart-Tm), the Dane Lucas Sommerlund and
