The traditional and freezing (-7°) night ice kart race that concludes the Ducati and Ferrari Wrooom Press Ski Meeting, was won this year by vindicated Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso who had lost out in the earlier snowboard and ski competition races to Andrea Dovizioso and Giancarlo Fisichella.
In the first 20 lap heat it seemed that Andrea Dovizioso was on his way to winning his first race in Ducati colors, but Alonso put in a hard pass on the Italian MotoGP rider touching and then spinning him out on the final lap and crossing the finish line first, while Dovizioso ended up fourth, but the new Ducati rider did have the satisfaction of seeing the Formula 1 driver theatrically kneeing at his feet and begging forgiveness. The podium was made up of Alonso, Fisichella and Felippe Massa, Dovi was fourth, and Andrea Iannone fifth.
During the second and last heat, Nicky Hayden was in ‘pole postion’ because he finished 8th in the earlier heat - they switch finishing grid order - and he led for several laps, but nothing could stop Alonso not even the safety car. When the race resumed for the final five laps Alonso took the lead and won, followed by Fisichella and Nicky Hayden. Dovizioso was fourth again, while Iannone ended up 8th this time.
