Heavy rain results in a full top ten in the tyre piles

14:44, 15 May 2021

During the FIA karting championship in Genk, things didn't go smoothly for everyone. In fact: for most of them. In a sharp corner to the right, at least ten drivers went straight on, while the rest could only just stay on the track.

It turned out to be a bigger accomplishment to stay on the track than to get into the tire piles. The cause: everyone was driving on slicks while the track started to get wet. Fortunately, everyone was unharmed.
