Jamaican Alex Powell completed a remarkable weekend by winning Final 2 of Round 1 of the ACI Italian Karting Championship in Castelletto, Italy, claiming the top of the podium in a dominant flag-to-flag victory.

Recovering from a poor 25th overall Friday qualifying session, Alex began progressing up the field during the Saturday Heats, posting fastest lap times in each Heat. In Final 1 on Sunday another competitor almost ran Alex off track, dropping Alex down to 8th at the finish.

However, his overall performances had earned him pole position in Final 2 at the 7 Lakes International Circuit ; once Alex claimed the lead at the start of the race he posted four consecutive personal fastest laps, securing first place, top of the podium and the points lead in the championship itself.

JMMC congratulate Alex for his victory.
