Vivacqua Pays Tribute to Ayrton Senna at Karting World Cup in Spain
With a new white suit with the portrait of Ayrton Senna, Thiago Vivacqua paid tribute to the greatest Brazilian champion at the World Cup for KF2 – the most important meeting of the international season – held in Spain, on the circuit of Zuera.
On his first season in KF2, Thiago continues to make progress race after race. At Zuera, he demonstrated to rightly deserve a place in the top 10. He started far back in timed qualifying due to an ineffective strategic decision, after a few mechanical problems in the first qualifying heat, but afterwards he was able to show his real potential by ranking 4th and 5th.
« I finished 27th due to my withdrawal in the first heat » Thiago pointed out. « But I felt confident about the remaining races, I knew I was fast on the circuit of Zuera. I regained 15 places during the pre-final where everything went smoothly. Then, I thought I could do better in the final and be able to enter the top 5, it was perfectly possible. Unfortunately, several collisions ahead of me slowed me down and when I was able to attack, another driver touched me and damaged my front-wheel axle. I could not finish the race« .
The small disappointment for this final result quickly disappeared after an analysis of Thiago’s performances. He has definitely made a lot of progress since the beginning of the season! This young driver has now joined the group of the fastest drivers in a very challenging class, and can look to his future career with confidence.
