Campionato Italiano ACI – Circuito Internazionale Napoli 🇮🇹 Rd3

The weekend started on a high with an amazing qualifying performance on Friday: P1 in my group and P2 overall on outright pace. Unfortunately, I missed the compulsory third lap by just a few seconds, meaning my second-best lap was recorded instead. That officially put me P2 in my group and P4 overall out of 40 Drivers.

The heats were tough, but the pace was there throughout. I finished P4 in Heat 1, P6 in Heat 2 and P2 in the third heat, crossing the line just 0.083 seconds behind the first.

In the Prefinal, I started from the outside in P6. After dropping to P10 at the start, I fought my way back with four strong overtakes to finish P6.

Starting P9 for the Final, I was confident we could achieve a great result. I quickly worked my way up to P5 before a red flag brought the race to a halt. Unfortunately, the restart didn't go our way. An engine issue cost me valuable seconds and threw me to the back of the field, and despite making 10 overtakes, I could only recover to P21 at the finish.

It wasn't the ending we had hoped for or deserved, but this weekend was a real statement of our potential. The speed, the race pace, and the incredible work of everyone behind me showed that we're capable of fighting at the very front.

A huge thank you to my team, my sponsors, and everyone supporting me. We'll come back stronger. 💪🏁

The perfect karting weekend at Ala Karting 🏁

Ala has always been one of my top 5 karting tracks, even if it isn’t the most well-known. One year ago, I won my first race here and set the official track record. This weekend, I returned for the Coppa Italia ACI—and it couldn’t have gone much better.

✨ Broke my own official track record (despite the slower engine restriction)
🏆 Took pole position
🥇 Won Race 1
🥇 Won the Final
🚀 Finished 4th overall, including the older category running faster engines

I’m incredibly happy with the result and proud of the work put in by everyone involved; my coach Danny Carenini, my mechanic Riccardo Bianchi and Team Driver.

Results:
• Qualifying: P1
• Race 1: P1
• Final: P1
💥 New Mini U10 official track record: 51.667

Time to enjoy a well-earned rest before preparing for the next challenge!

Yesterday marked the end of a long weekend at La Conca.

Under the scorching sun, the weekend started on a strong note with P5 in qualifying (P5 in my group, P9 overall). The pace was there throughout the event, but a series of unfortunate incidents during the heats made things much more difficult.

A punctured tyre in Heat 3 and a couple of contact incidents cost us valuable positions, leaving us to start P10 in the Prefinal and P20 in the Final. Despite the setbacks, we managed to gain a position in the Final and crossed the line in P19.

It was a tough competition, but there are plenty of positives to take away. The speed was consistently strong, and we're happy with the improvements achieved over the weekend. Now it's time to keep working and come back even stronger.

Results:
• Qualifying: P5 in group | P9 overall
• Heat 1: P5 ➡️ P11 (2 contact incidents)
• Heat 2: P5 ➡️ P5
• Heat 3: P5 ➡️ P15 (punctured tyre)
• Prefinal: P10 ➡️ P13
• Final: P20 ➡️ P19

On to the next one. 💪🏁
