Allemann inherits victory after chaotic rain-hit Junior final

Qualifying set the stage with Archie Owen (BMR) on pole, edging out Stig De Raedemaeker (Fusion Motorsport) and Dan Allemann (Spirit-Karting.ch) in a tightly matched field, while Jesse Phillips (Fusion Motorsport) and Louis Baziret (Victorylane) ensured Fusion was firmly in the mix. Through the heats, Allemann stood out with a perfect score, Phillips kept the pressure on, and Owen remained a frontrunner. Strong form from De Raedemaeker, Alex Martinez Escrihuela (Axion Racing) and Didier Kreeft (Fusion Motorsport) added to the depth, with surprise movers like Max Yuill (Mick Barrett Racing) and Matteo Melis (TBKart Racing Team SRL) charging into contention.

The final turned into chaos when rain fell on the formation lap, forcing a restart after a red flag. Most switched to wets, but a few bold drivers gambled on slicks. As the track dried quickly, the slick-shod karts came alive — notably Harley Musk (Fusion Motorsport), who stormed through from the back to cross the line third. On track, Owen took the win, but a post-race disqualification for being underweight stripped him of victory. Musk, too, was hit with a five-second penalty for a displaced front fairing, dropping him from the podium. That left Allemann to inherit the victory, ahead of De Raedemaeker and Phillips, with Piñera Rusiñol and Kreeft completing a top five shaped as much by tyre choices as by pure pace.
