Second round of CEK 2024 in Zuera.
In this second round we arrived at the Zuera International Circuit, where we were already riding the test weekend. After finishing the tests as the fastest, we started Friday with the cars at the top of the table, only surpassed by Aarón García (who was going to lead the entire weekend).
Saturday's time trial was not at all good, having to do the laps with the drivers alone, due to the heavy traffic. Despite this, we made P7 and P9 +0.2s from pole position.
For the qualifying rounds, we try to recover as much as possible for the races on Sunday.
But heading into Sunday, everything went wrong. In the first race Briz had a touch that sent him to P12, along with +5s for putting a pontoon. For his part, Hurtado also suffered a touch, which sent him out, finally remaining in P5.
In the second race, Briz started P19, but on lap 3 he was already in 3rd position. Right behind him was Iva Hurtado, for what seemed like a good race. But things were cut short again: Briz was hit on the inside of turn 3, taking him to the ground and losing two positions, and Hurtado was sent to the ground on the last lap, finally finishing P5.
Bittersweet taste because the feeling was that we could have easily achieved a “podium” in both races and yet we left points along the way.
The next will be at Motorland, where Briz and Hurtado already know what the podium is like this year in the CKCV
