An important showcase to confront face to face with all the best drivers of the category in a limited but highly competitive and uncertain calendar of only two stages.
In the opening weekend in Germany (Wackersdorf), the KR driver had done his best to collect as much data as possible in the tests before the race, which were then reported during the official weekend.

Hot qualifying sessions, not only for the high temperatures, but especially for the small gaps between the best of KZ2. Ninth time in Friday’s qualifying and second position in Group C. Just the direct clashes have determined the performance of the weekend as absolute protagonist for the Apulian driver. Two second, a third and a fourth place to confirm the excellent level of feeling and competitiveness on a difficult circuit like Adria. Unfortunately the technical problem and the consequent withdrawal in the first heat forced Leonardo to start from P16 for the final on Sunday.
In the last twenty-four laps of the European Championship, Marseglia was not able to express himself at his best, mainly due to some technical problems at the wrong time. P16 confirmed under the checkered flag at the end of a weekend in any case very positive and eighth position in the overall standings, the best of Kart Republic chassis.
