Good feelings for Laurens van Hoepen after the test race of Alaharma.
Laurens van Hoepen returned to the wheel of Ricky Flynn Motorsport's FA/Vortex in Alaharma to race the test race in anticipation of the FIA Karting OKJ World Championship next week.
Despite the difficult weather conditions and, despite being the first time at the Mika Salo Circuit, van Hoepen took a good 5th place on the wake or slipstream of the podium train. What matters most, however, is the feeling reached with the track; a track that however ended up in the eye of the storm after the numerous accidents that characterized the event.
Laurens van Hoepen, RFM (FA/Vortex): «It was an important weekend where I got to know the track and become familiar with the weather conditions. I am happy with the 5th position, although I am aware of the fact that the result in these races is relative.»
Van Hoepen will be back on track next week to race the FIA Karting OKJ World Championship.
