Thrilling Weekend of Racing – Strong Pace, Top Finishes & Wet Weather Challenges
It was an action-packed race weekend filled with highs, impressive pace, and unpredictable weather. Despite facing challenges, we showed strong performance and competitive speed throughout all sessions.
Qualifying: P6 in Group – A Strong Start
We started the weekend with promising pace on slick tires. After making a few key adjustments, I felt fast and confident. Right from the start of the session, I positioned myself at the front of the group, setting competitive lap times. Unfortunately, on my fastest lap, I made a mistake in the final corner, costing me time. Despite this, we still secured P6 in the group, putting us in a strong position for the heats.
Heat 1: P5 – Impressive Comeback & Fastest on Track
Starting from P9, I made an excellent start, immediately moving up to P7. With incredible race pace, I quickly caught and overtook another driver. A significant gap separated me from the next two competitors, but I closed it rapidly, proving to be one of the fastest on track. After a series of well-executed overtakes, I climbed further up the order. As the race neared its end, rain started to fall, making conditions trickier. A slight off-track moment cost me one position, but I still finished in a solid P5.
Heat 2: P25 – Unlucky with Tire Choice
The unpredictable weather struck again. As we lined up on the grid with slicks, the rain arrived. Most competitors managed to switch to wet tires, leaving me at a disadvantage. With no grip compared to those on wets, I focused on keeping the kart on track and finishing the race. Despite the tough conditions, I gained valuable experience and crossed the line in P25.
Final: P7 – Wet Weather Masterclass
The final was a completely wet race, marking a dramatic shift from what had been a warm, dry weekend. Starting from P16, I had an explosive opening lap, breaking into the top ten almost immediately. My pace was strong as I pushed through the field, making clean overtakes with ease. I rapidly caught another group, passed one driver effortlessly, and gained another position when a competitor spun out. With a few laps to go, I pushed hard to reach P6, but just missed out, ultimately finishing in a solid P7.
Overall Performance & Key Takeaways
Despite not racing at this circuit for over a year and never driving in the wet on the new layout, we showcased impressive speed, adaptability, and race craft. The weekend proved that we have the pace to compete at the front, even in challenging conditions. With this strong performance, we’re looking forward to the next race, ready to build on our momentum.
