The weekend started with challenging weather conditions during Friday practice (☁️ Cloudy / 🌦 Wet / 🌧 Rain). The track was damp but drying, making tire choice critical for the sessions ahead. Two solid races secured me the vice champion title in the Formula Regional category but generally, I was lacking too much pace compared to the front runner categories. One of the highlights of the weekend was for sure that my dad attended this race weekend for his 75th anniversary and got the opportunity to see behind the scenes enjoying access to the paddock and into the pit lane for the first time ever.
