2nd sim championship race down and finished fourth again🏎️

During practise I managed to get the time down to 48.7seconds but I couldn't manage to go faster. By the end of the heats and race I was down to 48.4seconds and a constant average of 48.5seconds per lap😁😁

It might not be the best of results but to me it was a great achievement. This time my mom was supporting me from abroad and I had my dad and my cousin Blake sitting right behind me wearing the shirts my mom made for me😎

Thank you to all friends and family who keep supporting and pushing me❤️

From sim, to track, to sim again😮‍💨

From practise, to theory and again to practise🤪 Looking for that tenth of a second faster anywhere possible.

Tomorrow will be the second round of the national karting sim championship being held at World Pro Racing! Be sure to follow live on TVM starting around 11am😎

The national Sim racing championship took off last Saturday, with the first race taking place at La Revè in Malta.

This was my first experience with a senior chassis on the sim and it was challenging compared to what I'm used to driving, but smooth seas never made a skilled sailor😜

After 2 intense heats and the final, I managed to hold on to 4th place! Being the youngest driver on the grid, only puts me in a more focused mindset to learn from my mistakes and the other more experienced drivers😁😁

Well done to Kian Gauci for the win🏎 Next up will be South Garda😏

Good morning followers😁

Here are some photos I took of last Sunday's Zabbar Autofest 😎

AAAAnd, here's a recap of the past week😏

Last Sunday we attended the biggest car show organised in the South of the island, the Zabbar Autofest. Not only was it memorable but a lot happened for me during😁

I saw a familiar logo hung on a tent and I had to check it out👀 World Pro Racing brought 2 sims to the event for an open challenge on the Iame X30 senior setup at La Reve track and I couldn't hold myself back from trying it out😂 I managed to set a lap time of 38.4seconds, my first time ever on this setup, and got a call that I had finished second overall by 0.5seconds from first place😁🤜

But the highlight of the event and mine, was the fact I got to meet someone who I aspire to become when I grow older. Louis Deletraz who achieved many podiums and wins in more than 1 class of motorsports.

Last but not least, I wish a great recovery to Chris Bonello, to whom the event was dedicated to😁

Recipe for success = training, training, training!!

Finally managing to not only getting a better feel of the chassis with the added weight and power but I also started to keep a consistent pace and speed😎😎

And to add to it all, after getting in an accident 2 weeks ago, I kept my nerves at bay and found the confidence to keep close to other in front of me and to overtake as soon as the opportunity came🏎️🏎️

All thanks to Mum and Dad for their continuous support❤️ Super happy about today😁

Finally, after 2 long weeks, I'm back on track with a complete engine rebuild done and upgraded from rotax micro max to rotax mini max🏎️

Considering the engine is still fresh, over 8kgs of weight added to the chassis and a slightly different setup, it was an excellent weekend. Already pushing the kart to its limit and managed to keep a good pace and set a good time😁

Two more thumbs up for this weekend as my followers keep increasing and the team even got new sponsors😍

Make sure to follow me and to keep updated with our upcoming achievements. Thank you everyone for your support😁❤️

Out and about 🤠

A week later and still wishing it was yet to come, the championship is over. Two races in one day was tiring😅😂 but it was a new experience which I had fun doing and learned from again. It wasn't the best of my performances yet I still managed to get 4th overall in points😁 only 2 points away from 3rd place.

This is how it went:

Round 2;
Pole - 5th place
Prefinal - 4th place
Final - 4th place

Round 3;
Pole - 6th place
Prefinal - 5th
Final - 7th place

I would like to thank my parents and family for their support, AJ Karting Malta the team I make part of especially Joseph Mifsud who behaves like a parent to the whole team and keeps us motivated to push ourselves further.

Today was the final day of practise before we close this year's short but still exciting championship😁 It was actually a good day, no PBs but the pace was consistent considering the condition of the tires😅😂

Tomorrow is race day, with 2 championship races bundled in 1 day and today's performance, all I can say is, I'm ready😎

Goodluck to everyone competing, espescially the category, friends off the track, rivals on the tarmac🤜

Last weekend I couldn't make it to the track sooo, no time wasted and to the sim we went😁 too bad the only challenger available to train with was my dad😂 Still managed to keep a time consistency and got to practise some overtakes in tricky spots.

Today though, I'm hitting the track again in preperation for the upcoming rotax micro championship race coming next weekend🏎🏎

With most of the younger ones from the team😁

Today was definitely a good day! Trying new setups and a bit of focus really turns the tide on motivation, everyone sharing a smile as we all set a new personal best.

We all kept the momentum and kept getting better times during each session. Let's keep this UP!!!💪💪🏎🏎

AJ Karting Malta 💙🤍💚

Well-done to our young driver today training 22/2/25 all of them made their personal best
