THE RACE SEASON OFFICIALLY STARTED FOR MINARDI MANAGEMENT ON TRACK WITH ZACK ZHU AT THE WSK SUPER MASTER SERIES IN LA CONCA

Zack kicked off his 2025 season at the WSK Super Master Series, making his debut in the OKNJ category at La Conca.

Despite it being his first qualifying session in the Junior category, he achieved an impressive P5 classification, demonstrating his strong single-lap pace. Unfortunately, a mechanical problem forced him to start the first heat from last place, and he became involved in a multi-kart accident in turn 3. In the second heat, Zack started strong, but by the end, he made some costly mistakes that prevented him from achieving a better classification than P14. In the last heat, however, Zack started well again, maintained his position, and achieved a great P6 finish.

These results meant Zack would start the pre-final from P18. Starting from the outside is always risky at La Conca due to the speed in turn one. This caused some trouble in front of him on the track, and he was spun out onto the grass, but he managed to recover and fight back to finish in P19.

In the final, Zack made a great start and showed he could keep pace with the leaders. Unfortunately, his potential didn’t translate into the result he wanted, but he is already working to learn from his mistakes and aims to come back even stronger in Salbris.
