104: P4 in pro, P13 overall

Qualifying has been our strong point this season, and finally, we were able to make it count! 103 missing class pole on Sunday by 100th of a second!
It wasn't plain sailing despite having great pace. 103 suffered a puncture whilst leading the first race, resulting in a big crash, meaning we had to retire and repair the kart for the race on Sunday. Despite the fact that the kart did not have the same ultimate pace after the repairs, we were able to take it home missing out first place by seconds.
104 struck a similar fate after deserving a 3rd place finish in the second race. Unfortunately, the Nassau brackets sheered in the final moments of the race leading to forced repairs, allowing the kart behind to take the final podium spot!
Congrats to the race winners this weekend and a shoutout to the Apollo Karts teams who all put a shift in working together to achieve the best possible results! Especially with the numerous mechanicals and punctures! Mechanics were hard at work all race!
Next up, we head to Wales for GYG Karting!
