During this busy year of competition, James Wharton has frequently had to switch between tyre brands depending on the races he has competed in. "In Sarno we went back to the Italian LeCont tyres, which offer a high level of grip. Unfortunately, this was not too favourable for us. Although I was still 11th in my group in Free Practice on Friday morning, I plunged to 21st place in Qualifying, which relegated me to 41st in the overall classification. It was not going to be a good weekend."

Despite this, James Wharton continued to work with the Parolin Motorsport team to improve his set-up and move up the order, but nothing was easy for the Australian driver at the foot of Vesuvius. "In the first race I made up a few places, but a penalty for an unclipped spoiler meant I lost places. In the second race it was the engine that gave me away. As I couldn't move back up as I wanted in the third heat, I knew that qualifying for the Final would be difficult. I managed to move up six places in the Prefinal, but I was too far back to hope to reverse the trend and make it to the Final. It's a shame..."

Nevertheless, this third and last race of the WSK Euro Series was not negative. James Wharton and the Parolin Motorsport team know which direction to work in view of the next round of the European OK Championship which will take place at the same circuit of Sarno from 8th to 11th July 2021. The young Australian will be back there more determined than ever.
