5th Rd. MP MSR RMC CZ/SK
Once we collect the data and the experience, some speed seems to be there. We utilized the experience from SKP race 14 days ago and the result is much better.
Thanks god we also had the pleasure to make two wet trainings, which seems to be very rare this year. 🤣

Quali: 🅿️4️⃣/🅿️4️⃣ (RMC/Slovak championship)

1. Race: small mistake in the end cost me one place 🅿️5️⃣/🅿️4️⃣

2. Race: very similar run, one small mistake 🅿️6️⃣/🅿️4️⃣

3. Race: fight after the start cost me possibility to regain in the end 🅿️7️⃣/🅿️4️⃣

Overall: 🅿️5️⃣/🅿️4️⃣

Lap times were extremely even, from P4 to at least P10 all in one tenth. Loosing few meters in fight means almost unable to catch up.

3rd Round RMC CENTRAL EUROPE

Superhot weather. 38 in shade. ☀️🔥 We worked hard to close the gap on top. Race pace was really good. Little bit of luck and it could have been… 🤣 but wasn’t.

Quali: stucked behind a kart in the best lap,
🅿️1️⃣2️⃣
Pre-final: strong race, 🅿️6️⃣
Final: when passing to P4… 🤬💥🫯 again…
🅿️1️⃣2️⃣
Superfinal: hard racing, 🅿️🔟
Overall: 🅿️9️⃣

4th Rd. SKP Trinec

3rd in official training means nothing. Just a mistake in pressures and it’s gone… But this season is about testing limits and making mistakes. So:

Quali: 🅿️9️⃣ 🤦🏼
1.heat: taken off when passing to P4, finally 🅿️2️⃣3️⃣
2.heat: 🅿️5️⃣
Overall: 🅿️8️⃣

4th round MP, MSR & RMC CZ/SK – Bruck v2

A tough weekend in Bruck. New track layout (for us), wrong direction with the gearing and we found the right setup far too late. We gained useful data and experience, but this is definitely not how we want to race. Again 36 drivers on the grid!

Quali: A result we are not used to. I cannot remember the last time I finished so badly. 🅿️1️⃣8️⃣

Race 1: Bad start of our lane meant I dropped back, but then recover some places. P18 > 🅿️1️⃣3️⃣

Race 2: Good start and I was already fighting my way forward. Then, around lap 3, a Polish driver took me out while I was running P10. Back to the end of the field and only enough time to recover to 🅿️2️⃣1️⃣

Race 3: In warm-up we finally confirmed the right gearing. The final race was all or nothing. From P21 to 🅿️8️⃣. 💪 Full attack from start to finish. That was a proper race! 🔥

Overall: 🅿️1️⃣1️⃣ in RMC / P5 MSR Not the weekend we wanted, but we finished it by showing our real pace. 🏎️

3rd Rd. SKP Bruck
Another Slovak Cup round, another training weekend in the books. 🔥
This one was extra useful thanks to the extreme heat. New chassis on, straight to work — and after just three practice sessions, the kart felt really strong.

Qualifying: P2. 💪

Then came the mistake. Old fuel from Třinec wasn’t emptied from the tank, only topped up with the new required fuel.

Result: DSQ.

Starting both races from P20, with the heats shortened to 10 laps because of the heat.

From there, it was full send and an overtaking festival. 🚀
But the chance for a big result was already gone.
Tough lesson, but we move on. Plenty of positives, plenty learned. 🏁

Results:
Quali: P2 -> DSQ
1. heat: P20 -> 🅿️8️⃣
2.heat: P20 -> 🅿️6️⃣
Overall: 🅿️7️⃣

Wood Bikerally Series
Free weekend? 😂 For the first time I took the oportunity and challenge to race professionals on the bike. Wasn’t easy! I took a few bruises, luckily no fractures, did not end last, so happy for the weekend. 🙃
Hope we’ll have a time to come back again this year at WBS - Wood Bikerally Series 🚵‍♀️
What a nice pictures from rallyservice.cz !

3rd MSR MP RMC CZ/SK
Again 32 drivers on the grid, tough racing, great battles. Could have ended better, but you know how it is.

Quali: 🅿️8️⃣ / P6 (RMC/Slovak championship)

1. Heat: good progress, but one mistake cost me 4 positions in the end, so 🅿️🔟 / P6

2.. Heat: again good start, nice mooves, 🅿️7️⃣ / P5

3. Heat: great start, P5 in third lap, but then collision dropped me deep down the field, managed to cross the line somewhere P13, but penalty for bumper meant 🅿️1️⃣9️⃣ / P11

Overall: 🅿️8️⃣ / 🅿️6️⃣

2nd round SKP Třinec
Our favourite short races. We came just for Saturday, without training, just to test and drive little bit under pressure. This time “fast” variant and tough conditions.
Two practises and quali in the wet 🌧️. As I need practice as much as possible, it was great.

Quali: not the best, but still learning in the wet 🅿️8️⃣

1.race: dry track, after two laps I was P3 and approaching the second with every lap. But after quite a long time I made my own big mistake and went off. Luckily just lost only positions to around P15, fought back what was possible during few laps and ended 🅿️9️⃣

2.race: dry start, wet end. I was P6, when drops started to fall 🌧️, it was quite hard to keep it on the track on slicks, Immediatelly I moved to P5 and after another couple of karts went off, race was ended with red flag 🚩. I was P3 that time, but the last full lap was 🅿️4️⃣, so was the result.

Overall: 🅿️7️⃣

2nd Round RMC-CE Třinec
What a weekend of ups and downs. More downs 🤣
In practices mostly around P7-P8, but then a disaster.

Quali: wrong carburation and the engine didn’t go well, 🅿️1️⃣5️⃣🤦🏼

1. Heat: we improved the setup, moved somewhere to P10, but the crash in last lap meant we were dead last

2. Heat: starting P19, good overtaking, 🅿️1️⃣2️⃣

3. Heat: we changed engine, starting from P12, but the setup was not right, mainly tyre pressures and gearing, what more, I got hit and spun in second lap and continued from very last position, 🅿️1️⃣6️⃣

Experience for me and my mechanic gained 🫡 Let’s forget this weekend and focus on the next race 💪

2. race MP MSR RMC CZ/SK Bruck a/d Leitha

Changeable weather made it delicious, especially for mechanics. But fun for the drivers.

Moravsky pohár, where you heading to? If you don’t have tools, you don’t need to deliver for inspection… Push to pass is a new standard… sounds like we are getting back to old good freestyle… 35 drivers is a great attendance, should be treated well, not to end up like eg. OKJ in CKO…

Quali: pushed out in the best lap by someone unable to pass clearly, 🅿️9️⃣

1. Heat: Good start from P9 to P6 (P4 in Slovak champ.)
2. Heat: bad pressures meant loosing contact in early laps, small mistake during pursuit P6/P4
3. Heat: P5/P4

Overall: 🅿️4️⃣ in Slovak championship
