While Formula 1 drivers rarely have three consecutive race weekends, and the whole world admires their determination and will to fight when a triple header of this type takes place, this situation happens all too often for karting drivers. Julia Angelard found out for herself when she gets behind the wheel of her kart for the third time in a row this coming weekend, interestingly – competing in three different racing series. After a full training session in the first round of the Champions of the Future Academy in Portimão, the 13-year-old JSTR by Jastrzębski Racing driver spent the past weekend at the Franciacorta track, using the WSK Super Master Series round taking place there as excellent training before the start of the Italian ROK.

As always, I will give it my all and I hope that I will bring a result from Italy that will satisfy not only my fans, but also myself. I hope that the third racing weekend in a row will allow me to get on the track quite quickly and find the best settings to show my true potential," emphasizes the JSTR by Jastrzębski Racing competitor.
