- Immediately after finishing the FIA Karting European Championship round, Julia Angelard travelled to Manchester to take part in the More Than Equal Assessment Camp organised by MTE.
- The aim of the training camp is to check how the program participants have developed physically over the last few months and to set development priorities for Q2.
Straight from the track to development camp
Despite the teenage Polish driver's pace on the Italian La Conca circuit, she ran out of luck this time. A mere 0.415 seconds behind the leader in qualifying gave her a good result, though the strong field with minimal time differences made it clear that it wouldn't be easy.
After the quali (divided into three rounds), the competitors are then divided into six groups, each competing in five round-robin races. Unfortunately, contact with other competitors and collisions, which deprived the teenage athlete of any chance of competing for good positions, resulted in her ending her competition in the qualifying races, with no chance of competing in the final section.
Despite the demanding weekend, the teenager is optimistic about the upcoming training camp in Manchester. The aim is to assess how the participants have developed physically over the past few months and to prioritize their development for Q2. Recognizing that fitness is a key element of Formula 4 performance, the camp also aims to help drivers understand their own bodies' capabilities and discover what it takes to compete at a world-class level.
On Tuesday evening, the project participants will also travel to Sheffield to join the British Boxing National Team for a day of intensive sports activities. The program includes joint training with their academy athletes, sessions with their support team, and additional strength and conditioning sessions.
Julia Angelard: The pace on the dry track was good
"It wasn't our week – we had the pace, but we ran out of luck. There's no time to worry, though – now we're off to the training camp in Manchester, and then it's time for Valencia. A huge thank you to the entire team for the incredible effort they put in during the first round of the European Championship. I hope that the training camp with MTE that has just started will bring a lot of positive emotions and activities that will help me develop, especially as I slowly begin preparing for the Polish Karting Championships," admits the Minardi Management powered by Dag Ltd. protégé.
JULIA ANGELARD, a 14-year-old karting racer, member of the ORLEN Motorsport Academy and a protégé of Minardi Management, is a member of the PZM junior national karting team in the 2025 and 2026 seasons. In the 2026 season, she will compete for Birel ART and the Richard Mille Young Talent Academy, and participate in the More Than Equal project and the F1 Academy Discover Your Drive program.
She began competing in karting at the age of 4. She began her professional starts in the Rotax Max Challenge Poland series in the years 2017-2022 in the MicroMax and Minimax categories. In 2023, at the age of 11, she started in the ROK Cup Poland in the Junior category. In September 2023, she made her international debut as part of the ROK Superfinal and ROK Cup Italia, where she also appeared in 2024, becoming the fastest and highest ranked competitor and advancing 17 positions in one of the races. In the 2025 season, she competed in the Polish Karting Championship, ROK Cup Italia, and Champions of the Future Academy, finishing second in the second round of the series in Jesolo.
