Onto the next Big Adventure ๐๐
I made it to the Podium 3rd Place in Round 4 of the Rotax Micro National Championship with all ups and downs of the day ๐ช๐ช๐ช
Qualifying - P7
Pre-final - P3
Final - P3
Out of 9 karts
In my Qualifying my engine stopped as soon as I went out of the pits but I kept on trying to start the engine and managed to do only 3 laps so I had to start my Pre-final from P7.
I did an amazing start and managed to climb to P3 immediately on turn 1. I was still struggling with my setup, I wasnโt doing the timings I did on my training however I kept my pace and secured my place on the podium !!!
A big thanks always go to my parents who dedicate most of their time for this sports, my mechanic Raymond Borg, my number one coach borg, my number one supporter Valletta and finally my family and friends ๐ช๐ช๐ช

Finally some photos about last weekend.
Round 3 - National Karting Championship Rotax Micro
Not the weekend we worked for because luck wasnโt on our side !!
Qualifying - P3
Pre-final - P4
Final - P10 due to a crash
Out of 10 karts
After long weekends working on the engine, we managed to find a setup and qualified at P3.
At the prefinal I may not have had a good pace as such and a kart overtook so I ended in 4th position.
It wasnโt the same for the Final because I had an amazing pace. After my mechanic finalising the kart I did an amazing race. At the start I was overtook by a kart so I actually started my race from 5th place. However there is where my fighting spirit comes in, I pushed to the full, I overtook the 4th, overtook the 3rd, and overtook the 2nd however I was pushed out of track where I ended up last !
A big thanks always goes to my parents who dedicate so much time, my Mechanic Raymond Borg, my Number 1 coach borg, and my family and supportors. ๐๐๐๐
A super tough weekend that was !!!
Round 2 of the National Karting Championship
Qualifiers: P3
Pre final: P3 but got DSQ
Final: P8
A silly mistake got me DSQ from my pre final after a good race Iโve done!
On the final I had to leave from the very end. I pushed the hardest I could to keep a good pace with the second fastest best lap on the track for the final.
Luck wasnโt on my side so letโs keep working harder ๐ช
Started the season with a BIG BANG ๐ฅ๐ฃ
Placed 1st out of 9 karts
Qualifiers: P2
Pre-final: P1
Final: P1
An overtake on my first corner of the race took me to first place and I held on to my position in both races!!
The big thanks goes no doubt to my Nr1 coach Ryan Borg and my Nr1 Mechanic Raymond Borg.
Final thanks goes to my Team Manager Mike Clews & KPL Racing Team for the full support๐๐
