Portuguese Karting Championship 2017 - Leiria - Final - X30 Super Shifter

After my “Close Encounter” in the 2nd semi final, the team worked hard to restore my chassis for the final. One of the front tires was in a bad shape and I was not sure it would make it to the finish. Ranking 8 on the grid line, the clutch lever was not properly set (we had to change the wheel column), and my start was not very good. I only managed to take it to the next position. I soon realized that something was “off”. The chassis was not behaving normally, the front was slippery and it was difficult to brake and turn properly, losing about 0.5-1 second per lap to my “reference times”. After much effort, I was able to overtake #545 for a 6th rank on the finish line.
