The year is quickly around and also my birthday. On Friday, 15th of August, I celebrated my 15th birthday. It was great because they came almost everyone invited. My coach Matjaž with his family also came and he add a nice touch to my celebration. Even more excellent was that the next day a race followed.
Next day I went to Ptuj with my dad. There was the fifth race for Sportstil Cup 2014 and the second race for the National Championship 2014. Training sessions were short and even shortened by the rain, which stopped.
After a good night's sleep followed a warm up. Next thing I do was briefing, which was this time the shortest ever. The schedule was a little different than in the previous races. Free practice was added between warm up and qualifications.
There was six contestants in category R4 Rotax Junior Max 125. All contestants from category R5 Rotax Max 125 joined us. I was good in qualifications until last few laps. I overtook a driver in front of me. Because it is easier to drive for someone infront of you he make better lap time than me and he took Pole Position point.
Prefinal race was tense already at the start beacuse we collided and one of the contestants jumped and climbed on the hill near the visitors. race director stoped the race the next lap. We waited until the contestants get back on track. The director did not allow the driver to strat because the visitors helped him back on track. Probbaly after talking to judges he allowed him to start from last row. We prepared to start again. After fifth lap, I got a hit to my right side and got blasted over the bend. I stopped at the edge of the curve. Because of this, almost all contestants overtake me. With great effort I fought for second place in prefinal. To get that second place I decisive push myself on finish line to beat the second place just by eight hundredths of a second difference.
Final race began by the speech of the director of the race at start. After that we started to race. Immediately after the start we all have the pressure on the gas to escape or topping the one which we have in front of ourselfs. The first racer and me were speeding up and after a few laps we were far away from others. I started to attack him and won the first place after a second half of the race. Then I led to the end of the race. I made a solo winning lap, at the finish line I got my laurel wreath. When I arrived to the box I needed to weighed myself and the car where I had left fuel only for a lap or two.
For me the race was finished so I joined the spectators and cheered for the other two contestants from our tent.
At the very end followed the award ceremony for the best drivers of the day and the first three clubs. This time won AMD Šlander Celje, which I am a member of.
I left some photos from the race in the gallery.
