\nThe first DAG Management driver on track in the ROK Italy Series was Mia Zanki, competing at the Lonato circuit during a weekend that delivered mixed emotions. The weekend began positively, with encouraging performances in the early sessions that suggested strong potential. However, a number of technical issues gradually affected the kart\u2019s performance, making each stage of the event increasingly difficult to manage. Despite the setbacks, Mia continued to work tirelessly, doing everything possible to maximise every opportunity and never giving up, even when circumstances prevented her from showing her full potential.
\nShe eventually finished P24 in the Final \u2014 a result that does not fully reflect the pace she demonstrated during parts of the weekend, but nevertheless provides a solid foundation to build upon. The focus now shifts to recharging and preparing for the next round of the season, with the aim of returning stronger and once again fighting at the front.<\/p>\n
\nRace 1:<\/strong>\u00a0P32 Overall \/ P12 Class
\nRace 2:<\/strong>\u00a0P15 Overall \/ P8 Class
\nMattia Bucci returned to action at Vallelunga for the second round of the Italian GT Cup Championship, facing a challenging weekend that also highlighted his determination and fighting spirit. The young driver and his team had to deal with several issues throughout the weekend, often forcing them to start from the back of the grid. Nevertheless, Race 2 saw Bucci produce a remarkable comeback drive: starting from P36, he gained 21 positions, delivering one of the standout performances of the weekend.
\nMattia and the team once again demonstrated impressive speed, resilience and racecraft, showing highly competitive pace and exceptional recovery ability during the races. There remains some disappointment over a less-than-ideal qualifying session, which could have allowed the Italian driver to fight much closer to the podium positions.<\/p>\n
\nRace 1:<\/strong>\u00a0P26 Overall \/ P6 Class
\nRace 2:<\/strong>\u00a0P24 Overall \/ P6 Class
\nMiguel Garcia was also in action in the Italian GT Championship, enjoying a very positive weekend at Vallelunga. After securing P8 in class during qualifying, Miguel significantly improved his performance across both races, achieving two strong P6 finishes that further confirm the steady progress being made by both the young driver and the team. The result came thanks to consistent race pace, strong management of on-track situations and increasingly effective teamwork throughout the weekend.
\nGarcia showed notable maturity and competitiveness, maintaining a strong rhythm and edging ever closer to the front-running positions in the category. The encouraging signs from Vallelunga represent another important step forward in a development path that is becoming increasingly evident race after race. A podium finish now stands as the clear objective for the remainder of the season. Given the continuous improvements and competitiveness shown in recent outings, Miguel and the team appear to have all the ingredients needed to challenge for the top positions very soon.<\/p>\n
\nRound 2 of the Meco Meritus Cup at Kartopia saw Rivaan Dev Preetham deliver another outstanding weekend, further confirming his exceptional form this season. The young driver dominated virtually every session, displaying impressive speed, consistency and flawless race management throughout the event. The only minor setback came in qualifying, where he narrowly missed out on pole position, but that did little to stop him from producing a top-class performance over the remainder of the weekend.
\nWith an authoritative drive, Rivaan secured his second victory of the season, strengthening his lead in the championship standings. Round after round, Rivaan and the team are putting together a championship campaign of the highest level, maintaining excellent consistency and results. The ultimate objective remains the championship title, a target that looks increasingly realistic considering the performances delivered so far this season.<\/p>\n
