THICK FOG RUINS ZUERA’S AND FRANCIACORTA’S KARTING WEEKENDS. PEDRINI MAKES AN EXCELLENT DEBUT IN PORTUGAL

/in /by

Five of our drivers hit the track last weekend. Deven Lewis Grabko, Vanesa Silkunaite and MarkasSilkunas participated in the IAME Warrior Final at the Zuera karting track in Spain, marred by thickfog, while Julia Angelard starred in the ROK Cup Festival in Franciacorta.

With regard to car racing, Giacomo Pedrini made his debut in the Supercars Endurance Series onthe Estoril circuit in Portugal.

Deven Lewis Grabko
The twelve-year-old Swede had a very unfortunate weekend in Zuera. His great qualifying speed was hidden by a technical problem. Despite starting from behind, he made good comebacks in the heats. Subsequently, the cancellation of the Super Heat prevented him from qualifying for the final.

Vanesa Silkunaite
The thirteen-year-old Lithuanian had a difficult start to the weekend, as she was pushed off the track in qualifying. After showing good pace in the warm up, a penalty for the dented bumper prevented her from obtaining important results in the heats. Unfortunately, the cancellation of various races did not allow her to bounce back.

Markas Silkunas
The fifteen-year-old Lithuanian made up for a difficult qualifying with a great comeback in the qualifying heats. Like Deven and Vanesa, his weekend was ruined by the cancellation of some races, so he couldn’t qualify for the final.

Julia Angelard
The twelve-year-old Pole was the fastest girl on the track in the ROK Cup Festival in Franciacorta. She qualified in an excellent P10, but a technical problem before the start prevented her from lining up on the grid. She managed to start from the pits thanks to the help of her mechanic and climbed back to P15, but she was excluded from the final ranking for the help received. Despite this, Julia has shown that she has the pace to fight in the top 10.

Giacomo Pedrini
The sixteen-year-old from Cesena debuted with a great performance in the Supercars Endurance Series at Estoril, where he shared the Mercedes AMG GT4 of the Lema Racing team with Mark Kastelic.
In Race 1 he managed to climb to P2 (P1 in his class) before the driver change, but a timing problem in the pits costed the duo an easy podium.
In Race 2 the difficult starting position, due to traffic in qualifying, made it impossible to come back higher than P5.
The excellent pace shown by Giacomo (who raced in the Mitjet championship) cannot leave the best teams in the league indifferent.
