My best moment in the championship occurred in Val Vibrata, in the 3rd round, in which I led one of the decisive races and finished in second position, guaranteeing my first podium in this difficult competition.  <\/h3><\/div><p class=\"tdm-descr td-fix-index\"><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"td-block-span6 tdm-col tdm-col-img\"><img class=\"tdm-image td-fix-index td-lazy-img\" data-type=\"image_tag\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/XLSobreMimPag2023Foto2.jpg\"  title=\"XLSobreMimPag2023Foto2\" width=\"1094\" height=\"816\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tdm_block td_block_wrap tdm_block_text_image tdi_12 td-animation-stack tdm-layout-12-12 tdm-content-horiz-left tdm-content-vert-center td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_12\" ><div class=\"td-block-width tdm-fix-full\"><div class=\"td-block-row tdm-row\"><div class=\"td-block-span6 tdm-col\"><div class=\"tdm-text-wrap tdm-text-padding\">\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_13 .tdm-title{\r\n\t\t\t\t\tfont-weight:400 !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"tds-title tds-title1 td-fix-index tdi_13\"><h3 class=\"tdm-title tdm-title-sm\">Included in my racing calendar, the ACI Coppa It\u00e1lia has become an unforgettable event.

I became a more consistent driver and naturally started to reach Pre Finals, also evolving during the year so that in this decisive phase of a weekend I positioned myself better and better, improving my management of a race. Naturally, over the course of the season, I got further ahead in the finals and the podiums started to arrive. In one of the most competitive and difficult classes in karting today, against the best drivers in the world, I managed to show that I am one of them. I leave 2023 with two podiums in finals and extremely motivated for 2024, a year to which I go with the same humility as always, but confident that I am capable of fighting for victories among the best.<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3730","page","type-page","status-publish"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3730"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4822,"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3730\/revisions\/4822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xavierlazaro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
