Steadiness & focus: Another podium for Anelisse
Another chance to watch the racing kids in action in the 3rd episode of the season
Well, Wimbledon & the EURO are done for the Summer, but the eKart Championship is still underway. And the best thing about it? We have our favorite contender going for it all, race after race: Anelisse Ionascu, the only girl in her MiniWatt league.
This weekend we had the third race of he season, in Bacau, with the track inverted for the first time. High hopes and expectations all around. With every practice and every race, the kids are getting stronger and smarter, so the battles are more and more interesting as well.
Case in point, the Qualifications. There were 4 laps to settle the starting order and it was all incredibly tight. There was barely anything between the first 3 racers:
So Anelisse kicked off her First Final of the day from the second spot. And surely enough she wanted more. Unciuleanu managed however to continue his solid form that he showed in the first couple of races of the season. He held on well, despite Anelisse’s best efforts to overtake him wherever the opportunity arose. Looking over her shoulder, there was Pisica, a racer who’s been progressing nicely as well. However, the girl with the dragon mentality left nothing to chance and fenced him off several times. She finished at #2 and was ready to end the day in style.
