DMK Inkart championship S3R7

Have had better days but have also had far worse!

** TLDR summary - Finished P5 in A-final... **

Today's round would give me six qualifying rounds and shake down the championship standings. I was P6 in the championship coming into this round but still in contention for a podium place.

It was raining (again!), the track was wet (again!) and I wasn't particularly happy with my kart (again!!). All that said, in my group practice session, I was on a respectable P3 pace.

Quali immediately followed practice and the rain had at least eased off. I found another 1.2s over my practice time but all drivers upped their game during quali and so I remained P3.

After the second group finished their practice/quali, I found myself P5 on the grid in the A final. At the start of the season, I'd have taken that every time but today, it just didn't feel good enough.

Although I had a different kart for the final, from the start, I struggled to stay with the drivers in front. In fact, I dropped to P6 on the road after contact with Ethan. It was totally unintentional on his part and he immediately apologised to me on track but race control gave him a one place penalty. I finished P6 on the road but P5 after penalties applied.

Overall, not shocking but could have been better. Final round in two weeks time...Need to push 💪
