Felipe Nardo - Moravsky Pohar - Slovakia Karting Center - 04/2024 - Race 3
Tough weekend at Slovak Karting Center. My first time with a Rotax on that track and my first race away from STEEL RING - Motorsport pro každého.
Started with Free Practices on Friday and I had all sorts of mechanical issues in 4 out of the 6 practice sessions, so in the end I just had 2 full practices sessions before Saturday.
On Saturday, during the qualify I caused an accident which ruined the qualy of one of the top contenders (and hurt my neck), which I felt ashamed and very sorry for the other driver. On the first race, my axle decided to split in 2 parts.
On Sunday, despite my moral and confidence being very low, things were slightly better, I kept improving my lap times and gaining confidence again.
In the end, the results were very far from my expectations, but what was important is that I learned a lot from the race weekend (with the help of Steel Ring team), which are always there for me.
I think for next race in Slovakia, with a better preparation (from a training perspective and from a kart maintenance perspective), things should be better.
