SM 1 – Copenhagen


SM 1 – Copenhagen

The first leg of the Zealand Championship was in the past weekend. It was a very chaotic and stressful weekend with a lot of ups and downs. On Friday we were practicing for the weekend, to see where our pace was. We were very close to the front drivers and had the fastest lap of one of the practice sessions. So we were so happy. We knew that we had to drive at our top level to keep up with the top drivers. So we were extremely excited for Sunday, as we knew our pace was very promising.

However, on Sunday it started pouring down with rain. The only thing that we knew could ruin our chances at the very top. So as the rain started pouring down, were we a little skeptical of where our pace would be in the wet conditions.

We just came from a weekend in Ikast, which also was dominated hardly by rain. In Ikast our pace in the wet condition was very off, and therefore our hopes for a place at the top was suddenly very far away.

However, in the qualifying, we showed that our pace wasn’t as much off as we thought. We were much better in the rain than expected. We qualified 13/24

In the prefinal, I ended up crashing out as the person in front of me was on very poor tires. He therefore braked in turn 1 where it’s normal to have a little throttle on in the wets. Because I was so close to him, I couldn’t avoid hitting him. That meant a DNF and a starting position in last place for the final.

At this point, everything was pretty annoying. It didn’t go our way. The track got one dry line for the final, which meant that everyone changed to a dry setup. In the final every little mistake would lead to a DNF, as there only was that one dry line. Everything else was like skating on ice.

My concentration level in that heat was very high. I knew I started last, so I had to gain a lot of positions. I ended up avoiding two major crashes just before they hit me. With a lot of crashes and some good overtakes, I ended in 7. place out of 24.

So all in all a good result for a chaotic weekend💪
