Design \/ Casa Bar\u00f4 \/ SOMA Blindados) is back in Brazil to continue his preparation for the 2027 season, when he will take the wheel of a Formula 4 car in Europe.This time, however, the chosen track was the Velocitta Circuit in Mogi Gua\u00e7u, where he completed track sessions while taking advantage of the days he was able to spend at home. The temporary change of scenery does not mean a pause in his goals, but rather another step in a body of work built on focus, resilience and a desire to move forward.In Brazil, with his eyes on EuropeThe stint at Velocitta is part of Salamonde\u2019s plan to increase his familiarity with open-wheel cars and strengthen his preparation for next year. After starting his work on Italian circuits, the driver takes every opportunity to better understand the car\u2019s behavior, develop his feel behind the wheel and sharpen his reading of different racing situations.\u201cIt was very important to have this opportunity to train at Velocitta and continue my transition to Formula 4 in 2027. I\u2019m learning a lot from every experience, and I want to make the most of every session, understand the car more and more, and arrive well prepared for the next season,\u201d said Dudu Salamonde.Learning every lap and focusing on progressThe experience at the Mogi Gua\u00e7u track is also an opportunity to deepen his understanding of the setup changes needed to extract the best performance from the package. The preliminary data collected can help guide the next stages of his preparation, making it possible to analyze the car\u2019s behavior under Dudu\u2019s driving, identify areas for improvement and establish benchmarks for his development as a driver.Dudu Salamonde also highlighted the results of the work done on track, stressing that good lap times are an important source of motivation but not the only yardstick for measuring progress.\u201cI managed to set good lap times and I\u2019m happy with what we worked on, but I know the most important thing is to keep going, understand the adjustments that can be made, see where I can improve and how I can be more consistent lap after lap,\u201d said the driver.More testing in ItalySalamonde\u2019s preparation will continue in November, when he returns to Italy for another round of track testing. Until then, the focus remains on development, data analysis and strengthening the technical foundation needed to take on this new phase of his motorsport career.
\nWith the determination to overcome every challenge, Salamonde continues to build his path step by step, aware that consistency, resilience and the ability to learn will be just as important as speed in the pursuit of his goals.<\/p>\n
