A DREAM COME TRUE - BKC IAME PFI 🏆
Ever since day 1, Henry has always wanted to race at PFi Karting and has always dreamt of a podium there and this weekend through hundreds of laps testing in preparation, true determination and fire in his belly he did it.
FRIDAY PRACTICE:
Prior track knowledge got Henry off to a good start, setting purple sectors and finishing the day P2 overall in terms of best times in 32c+ heat.
SATURDAY:
Timed Qualifying:
Henry started the weekend off strong qualifying P3, 3.5 tenths from pole.
Heat 1:
Struggling with the motor going off too early so settled for P6.
Heat 2:
With some adjustments we were racey for a longer period resulting in P5.
Final:
With a P4 start, a podium finish was in sights but just couldn’t make the required progress and finished P6.
SUNDAY:
Timed Qualifying:
After getting caught up in a nasty crash we only completed 2 laps, with a bent kart and working double time to repair it we resulted in P9 & 10 starts for the heats.
Heat 3:
Starting P9 Henry had a monster drive to finish P4, keeping a good start position in the final in sights.
Heat 4: As the day warmed we struggled with the kart going off early again but managed to gain 3 places to P7.
Final:
With a P6 start in the final we got up to P4 within a couple of corners but was muscled back to P7 by the end of the opening lap. Henry worked hard to break free of the mid pack and had a 3 second gap to the leaders with only a few laps to go.
On the final lap we gained a place in the penultimate corner to P5 and a drag race to the line we settled for P4 by 0.035s. However a post race penalty on P1 promoted us to P3 🏆
This was by far the best weekend racing we have had so far. The whole event was incredible, the racing was incredibly competitive and the driving level was such a high standard.
This one was for you Evolve_Motorsport, for all your support and guidance over this past year.
We couldn’t have done it without our mechanic Steve Thompson, the kart was impeccable all weekend.
And a huge thank you to Isaac Taylor #95 🇬🇧 for all your support and being Henry’s biggest fan.
And Martin Smith for his support 💪🏼
