TWO DRIVERS ON TRACK, TWO PODIUM RESULTS: A PERFECT WEEKEND ACROSS CHINA AND SOUTH AFRICA

/in /by

Race Weekend 40 was smaller in numbers for DAG Management, with only two drivers competing, but it delivered plenty of sporting satisfaction: two drivers, two continents and two podium results.

Zack Zhu starred in the Chinese Karting Championship in Beijing, building an extremely solid weekend all the way to an excellent P3 in the Final. On the other side of the world, Brodi Cooper Dowling enjoyed an almost perfect weekend in the RMC NR Kart Championships at Zwartkops, South Africa: pole position followed by victory in both Race 1 and Race 2.

For DAG Management, it is a great satisfaction to see two young drivers compete in such different environments and turn their work into concrete results. Even more important is seeing their development: Zack’s consistency and ability to remain close to the leading positions, and the confidence and competitiveness with which Brodi managed a weekend that began with the simple aim of enjoying the race and ended with two victories.

We are proud of both drivers and, as always, deeply grateful to their families for their trust, as well as to the teams, mechanics, coaches and everyone working alongside them. Behind every podium is a journey built on preparation, commitment and people sharing the same objective.

CHINESE KARTING CHAMPIONSHIP – BEIJING, CHINA

ZACK ZHU – #188 – JUNIOR

P3 in the Final – an outstanding podium in China

An extremely positive weekend for Zack Zhu in the Chinese Karting Championship in Beijing, completed with a thoroughly deserved podium.

Zack began the weekend by qualifying P6, a position from which he immediately started building his progression. In Heat 1 he moved forward to P4, showing competitive pace from the opening stages and the ability to challenge closer to the front.

Heat 2 ended in P7, but Zack responded with great consistency on the decisive day. In the Super Heat he returned to P4, once again putting himself in position to fight for an important result.

The confirmation came in the Final: Zack secured an excellent P3, stepping onto the podium and completing in the best possible way a weekend defined by consistency, speed and mature management of the different race phases.

This podium carries important value for us. Zack continues to demonstrate that he can be competitive in different international environments and convert his pace into results. We are very proud of his progress and delighted to see him collect another result that rewards the work being done.

BRODI COOPER DOWLING – #112 – X30 JUNIOR

Pole position, P1 in Race 1 and P1 in Race 2

A weekend that could hardly have gone better for Brodi Cooper Dowling at Zwartkops.

Brodi arrived in South Africa with a simple mindset: race, have fun and enjoy the experience. The result was an almost perfect weekend.

He immediately made his intentions clear in qualifying, taking P1 and pole position. In Race 1, he converted that front-row start directly into victory, finishing P1.

Race 2 fully confirmed the competitiveness he had shown throughout the weekend: once again, Brodi brought home P1, securing his second consecutive victory.

Race 3 was subsequently cancelled due to track conditions, leaving Brodi with a flawless record in the competitive sessions that were completed: pole position and two victories.

It is a result that makes us particularly happy because it also tells the story of Brodi’s development. Over recent weeks, we have seen him adapt to different circuits, categories and situations, learn quickly and show increasing confidence in his own potential. This time he came to have fun – and brought the victories home. Congratulations Brodi: a weekend to remember.

TWO DRIVERS, TWO PODIUM RESULTS AND PLENTY OF PRIDE FOR DAG MANAGEMENT

Race Weekend 40 therefore closes with a special result: only two DAG Management drivers on track, but both able to turn their weekend into a podium result.

Zack takes P3 in the Chinese Karting Championship Final after a solid and competitive weekend. Brodi dominates his event at Zwartkops with pole position and two victories in the two races completed.

Two different results, achieved thousands of kilometres apart, but connected by the same element: progress. That is what makes us most proud. Trophies are the visible part of the work, but behind them are experience, preparation, confidence and the ability to grow race after race.

Thank you to Zack and Brodi for their commitment, to their families for continuing to believe in our work, and to the teams and everyone who supported them throughout the weekend. We continue building together, grateful for every result and with the same ambition for what comes next.
