Xavier L\u00e1zaro is not having an easy weekend in the Portuguese Cup\/Karting Festival, an event taking place at the International Karting Circuit of Leiria, organized by the Motor Sports Nucleus of that city (NDML). After losing his preferred engine during yesterday's official free practice session, the V\u00e1rzea de Sintra driver had to settle for the 13th position in Qualifying. His lap time of 51.973s left him more than a second behind the pole position in the X30 Mini category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We were here a few days ago for testing, and the indicators made us quite optimistic for a good result this weekend. However, with the issue we had today with the engine, everything becomes a bit more challenging\"<\/strong>, this was stated yesterday by Vasco L\u00e1zaro, father of the Cabo J\u00fanior Team driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the damaged engine unable to be opened as it is sealed by the organization, Xavier L\u00e1zaro had to use a backup unit today, which obviously doesn't have the same level of performance. Nevertheless, the eight-year-old gave his best on the track, delivering strong performances in both qualifying heats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1st Qualifying Heat, starting from 13th, Xavier L\u00e1zaro showed determination on the track, managing to reach the 10th position. It's a commendable position considering the limitations in terms of performance, even though the team was able to extract the maximum from the Kart Republic engine. The driver clocked his best lap at 51.481s, almost three-tenths faster than the qualifying time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 2nd Qualifying Heat, Xavier L\u00e1zaro started in 10th but was pushed by an opponent in the first lap, dropping several positions. His fighting spirit prevailed, and the V\u00e1rzea de Sintra driver fought his way back to the 10th position, where he ultimately finished the race. His best lap was 51.432s, slightly better than in the previous heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He is doing the best he can, considering the equipment available for these two days\"<\/strong>Vasco L\u00e1zaro said resignedly. \"Things are what they are, and his engine is missed. We're not exactly sure what happened to the engine, but perhaps a more violent contact with a curb caused damage and a sudden loss of performance. Nevertheless, with this backup engine, 'Xavi' is very determined and eager for races, which is quite positive and shows the strength of his mentality. Tomorrow is another day, and he will surely do his best with the conditions he has. In the morning, during the free practice sessions, we'll still try to improve his equipment a bit more,\"<\/strong>, concluded the driver's father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
