WSK 2° Round - Angerville (FR)

In the second race of the WSK Series, in spite of the difficult and uncertain weather conditions, our team confirmed the material competitiveness. Bressan gained a fantastic second position in the prefinal starting from the first line in the super final. In the final the weather conditions were terrible and caused extremely difficult situations, in spite of this, Bollingtoft reached a great seventh position, starting from the back of the line-up and Bressan arrived ninth. We gained further important points for our drivers and for the team, in both ratings, team and driver, we are always protagonists.
After a careful analysis of the performances during the race week-end, our technical staff stated that the only thing missing was more determination, which would be useful in order to have even better performances in the qualifying lap.
In the race our karts were extremely competitive and during the several rounds we had always better performances, in fact Bressan reached a second position and the second line in the pre-final.

Unfortunately in the pre-final an unexpected shower forced all drivers to start with slick tyres on a wet asphalt and the situation changed immediately.
In spite of this, Bressan gained important points for the championship and Bollingtoft did well until when he had to retire owing to a technical failure at the sixth lap.
The super final took place on a terrible track, it was raining and snowing at the beginning of the race, and with this kind of conditions Bollingtoft and Bressan made an exciting race, with Bollingtoft able to recover from the back of the line-up (28th position) to the 7th position. At the end of the race both drivers entered in the points zone, helping to consolidate the second position in the manufacturers rating, the Eurocup, however we are closed to the team leader: the Tony Kart Racing Team.
In anticipation of the first race of the European Championship the morale is high in the team, there is the awareness that, if we will find the dry track, both our drivers will be able to aim to the podium.

“Races like this one in Angerville are a little bit special, particular, due to the weather conditions, and so it is a little bit difficult to make some considerations…in the end we always did well when the asphalt was dry and we were among the faster drivers, Alessandro arrived second in the pre-final and also Bollingtoft did good rounds.
In spite of the terrible weather conditions it is important that both drivers gained points allowing us to save our position in the manufacturers Championship rating.”

“The race has been influenced by the weather conditions, but we were fast, we always had a good rhythm. In fact in the rounds I did well and in the prefinal, when the track wasn’t so wet, I was in second position.
In the final, instead, I made a mistake at the start and went out of the track. It was very difficult to stay in the track with that kind of weather conditions, I had to be very careful because, in every moment, there was the possibility to turn. Now I hope, in the next race, to drive with normal weather conditions, like in Muro Leccese, in that even we saw drivers’ value on the track.
In the races like this one is not possible to make this kind of considerations….in the end I resigned myself and thought only to points.”
