After qualifying 3rd in his session on Friday’s first day of the WSK Super Master Series at the Adria Karting Raceway, Italy Alex Powell’s brilliant move to 2nd at the start of Heat 1 was foiled after being hit and spun to the back of the 28 kart field.
A determined drive saw Alex climb 11 spots before the finish flag waved, claiming 17th position.
“He was a bit disappointed with what happened. but he said to me “Dad, that’s the past and there’s nothing that could be done, I’m determined to get good finishes in the next four Heats to start the Pre-Final in a good position”” reported his father John Powell.
The event continues tomorrow (Saturday) with four more Heats which help to set the grid for Sunday’s Pre-Final.
