After fracturing his wrist four weeks ago in the FIA European Championships in Valencia Jack was eager to get behind the wheel. Out of the kart Jacks wrist has been fine and he had been without a wrist brace for a week. However, under load and with the vibrations of the kart his wrist had been getting sore limiting the number of practice sessions and laps he could do. We assumed he would pull out of the event on Friday, however a change of wrist strapping really helped.
Over the weekend, his wrist got stronger and he was able to compete in every session.
Jack qualified P6 in group 3, P16 overall, meaning he was in group D for the heats.
Heat C-D did not go to plan, Jack had a rough start and fell down the order finishing P10 after a P6 start. He had decent pace.
Heat D-F Jack raced in the same heat as his brother Oscar. Jack struggled for pace through the first two-thirds of the heat, until his kart came in but it was too late to impact his position. Jack finished P7.
Saturday started with Heat A-D, it was wet, and Jack was one of the fastest drivers finishing P2.
Heat D-E saw another great drive this time in the dry to collect another P2.
Jacks final heat B-D was chaotic, climbing to P5, then back down to P11 and finishing in P7.
Jack made it through the heat stages in P11, starting Pre-final A in P6. The opening few laps were tough and Jack fell back to P11. Jack fought back to finish where he started in P6.
Jack started the final in P10, a tough outside start saw him fall to P15, Jack got his head down and climbed back to finish P9.
Jack worked really hard this weekend and a top 10 result is a great result considering he couldn’t do more that 7 laps on Wednesday.
Jack has a day at home before heading to the Czech Republic for the RGMMC Champions of the Future Euro Series. Jacks on track on Wednesday!
