- In just a few days, Julia Angelard will appear on the karting track once again this year.
- This time, the opportunity to watch the teenage Polish girl compete will be the third round of the WSK Super Master Series, scheduled for the Leopard Circuit Viterbo near Rome.
- On the same track, the 13-year-old ORLEN Motorsport Academy competitor will take part a few months later in the Champions of the Future Academy round.
The season is slowly gaining momentum – this time, the teenage Polish driver's goal is the Leopard Circuit Viterbo, which will host the third round of this Italian series, which attracts a strong field of competitors from around the world. A total of 313 drivers have registered for the competition, meaning intense competition for the best possible positions in each of the five categories.
It’s the final countdown!
The competition at the Viterbo track is the last opportunity to make progress before the start of the Champions of the Future Academy, scheduled just a week later.
It's no surprise, then, that the field of competitors – like Julia Angelard, competing in the OK Junior category – will include many other drivers eager to use the upcoming round as a final countdown to the start of the season and a solid training session amidst a tight and unpredictable field.
The rivalry is further fueled by the fact that Leopard Circuit Viterbo will be featured on the Champions of the Future Academy calendar just a few months later as the third (and final European) round of the series.
Those competitors who will be hitting the track in a few days as part of their pre-season preparations can certainly gain an advantage over drivers whose July visit to Viterbo will be their debut at this karting track.
The weather conditions may prove to be a certain difficulty during the upcoming round – alternating sun, heavy rain and intense gusts of wind are forecast.
Julia Angelard: Third time’s a charm
"They say third time's a charm – and although it's just a proverb, I'm optimistic about the upcoming third round of the WSK Super Master Series. This is my third competition this year, and also the third track I've never been to before. I hope to make progress on the track and find the best possible kart settings. The round in Viterbo is the last competition for me before the start of the Champions of the Future Academy – what’s more, I will return to Viterbo again during the COTFA competitions, so it will be good to get to know the track I will be competing on better in the middle of the season,” emphasizes the Minardi Management powered by Dag Ltd. protégé.
