Super 1 - MSA - Round 2 Shenington




Qualifying:
Finished: 22nd
Weather: Dry
Report:

In qualifying we went out at the back trying to find a good position on the track as I was going around I felt my front wheel vibrating, I knew that I could not come in or I would not be able to carry on. After 3 laps my wheel fell off and ribbed of and nuts coursing me to stop. The weekend could only get better.


Heat 1
Started: 17th
Finished: 6th
Report:

I had a good start gaining a couple of positions pushed hard and started moving upwards getting up to 6th a great finish.

Heat 2
Started: 17th
Finished: 13th
Report:

We made a change to the kart and it did work causing us to have a bad heat.

Final 1
Started: 11th
Finished: 3rd
Report:

It the start of the race me and my dad were thinking about how I could plan my race, saying “all we need is a solid result to get championship points.”
It the start of the race I made no places, after lap 2 I made a little adjustment to my carburettor which helped me lodes. After 4laps I was carving my way though making a move every lap. With 3 laps to go I made a move on Alex Albon for 3rd place and ran out of time to move further up. Overall a great race and just the right place for the final.

Final 2
Started: 3rd
Finished: 2nd
Report
The Grand Final was carnage 3 red flags came out all going in my favour as I had been taken out on both times. On the 3rd get away I was fine coming out of the first lap in 3rd place. Going on to the second lap I saw my chance to overtake Sam Blake and planned it right getting though and coursing Sam of line giving me a gap. After lap 5 me and Jake Dennis had a giant lead over 4 seconds. We worked together well pulling away and going on to the last lap I was leading. Going into the chicane I over defended going in which caused me to hit the kerb and letting Jake Dennis though and to take the win. Overall a great weekend I would like to say thanks to Chris Rogers, My dad and mum and also to Dan Holland for chassis support.
