Going into Race 2 it seemed like we had everything a little against us. We started on the outside in turn 1 with both cars about to start in the even zone, Ratel was on pole and Zunzarren between the two cars.
After losing Hurtado's P2 at the start, the group began to collaborate until lap 3-4, when Ratel, Hurtado, Zunzarren and Briz were pushing to get away from the pursuers. At that moment, Zunzarren attacked Hurtado again, who was not expecting it and had followed a normal line, causing both of them to lose time.
This caused Ratel, once again, after Zunzarren's repeated attacks, to leave alone towards a new victory. Between attacks, Zunzarren managed to chase Ratel, who after having given everything at the beginning of the race seemed to be suffering a lot with the tires.
Finally, P3 and P4 for Hurtado and Briz, a result that does not know much because at least in this second round they could have fought for victory, but which is undoubtedly a very good way to start the championship.
As for the other Seniors, Alonso managed to consolidate himself in the middle zone, after debuting in the CEK for the first time. The Canarian driver was sensational, holding his own in Race 1 and launching a comeback in Race 2. Alonso, who started from the middle of the grid, had a shorter development than the rest of the drivers. This development allowed us to fight with the others for position, allowing it to exit the curve quite well and, although without as much edge, being able to launch itself under braking.
Finally P25 and P21 for him. Mercier, for his part, did not have the best weekend. After starting last, in Race 1 we reached P16, but after braking by another car in turn 5 of the last lap we had to abandon. In Race 2, and once again starting last, they hit us at the rear in the middle of the climb in turn 3, which caused us to spin, in addition to having damaged the rear sidepod. Even with this, Mercier continued on the track, finally getting a P31 due to abandonment by the other drivers. It certainly hasn't been the best weekend for him.
We also had a participant in the KZ category. I had never worked with this type of kart, but the truth is it didn't seem too difficult. Fiorini did not get a good classification, so Race 1 had to start from P28.
