Race Report from RD 4 of The Kart Championship at Rowrah.
𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠: Lap 3 was a bit of a disaster as I ended up in the wall... through the wood chips. Let's just say, wood chips in the helmet and under the butt are not so comfortable! Despite this woodland excursion, I managed to finish qualifying in P12.
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝟏: Started from P12. Made up some early ground and was tailing 7th place for most of the race. Unfortunately, I misjudged their braking as the XKART brake allows us to brake much later than the OTK. This caused me to run into the back of them, spinning both of us out. Not too bad, but we were given an on-track penalty for this, which is why we finished P17.
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝟐: A better heat than the first one. Got another great start and launched into the top ten by lap 1. Avoiding contact allowed me to make more ground, and I finished with a respectable P7.
𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝟏: Started from P8 and got off to a great, aggressive start, making up 2 positions straight away. The top runners had a large gap that I couldn’t close, but I managed to reach 5th place and stick a move in. A great first super heat with a 5th place finish!
𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝟐: Once again, P8 to P5. Another lightning-fast race, gaining 3 places right off the start and even managing to get up to 4th place. Unfortunately, our team ran the wrong tire pressures, allowing others to come back through and the leading group to pull away. Still, another great super heat maintaining P5.
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥: Not much to say other than it was a masterclass of team orders from one of my main rivals for the championship. Right off the start, a driver from my rival's team drove me off track, causing me to lose all the ground I had made up in the super heats. Just two corners later, another driver from the same team pushed me past my limit and onto the grass in a battle of wills. I tried my best to make up ground but just couldn’t. Ended up in P9, so it could have been worse. Team orders at its finest, ensuring I couldn't challenge Kacper for the lead.
