Racing for VictoryLane Karting, Tamás Gender Junior delivered a strong performance in the final round of the WSK Super Master Series. The weekend was marked by exciting races and unpredictable weather, pushing not only physical limits but mental ones as well. Tamás Junior rose to the occasion, successfully navigating the challenges and gaining valuable experience along the way.
Friday’s qualifying session took place in dry conditions, where Tamás Junior clocked the fastest theoretical lap. The first heat was already held in the rain, but despite the tricky conditions, he managed to gain two positions from his starting spot.
“Even with the changing weather and unpredictable conditions, I managed to get close to the top 10. That was incredibly motivating for me,” said Tamás Junior at the end of Friday.
