Xavier L\u00e1zaro is the Champion of the Initiation category in 2020. Behind the wheel of the Birel ART for the Cabo Junior Team, the youngster from V\u00e1rzea de Sintra was already mathematically the winner of this category after securing victory in the previous championship round (Braga). However, the requirement to be present at the final event of the competition would always delay the confirmation of his title until the last round, which took place last weekend in Viana do Castelo, organized by the Clube Autom\u00f3vel do Minho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With rain, sometimes quite heavy, constantly present at the International Karting Circuit of Viana do Castelo, Xavier L\u00e1zaro ended up being limited by an uncooperative engine in this final race of the originally named Figueiredo e Silva Trophy. As engines are assigned by lottery and do not all have the same competitiveness, Xavier L\u00e1zaro ended up with a unit much less capable than the one he had been assigned in the previous championship round. Still, on Saturday, L\u00e1zaro finished 2nd in the timed practice sessions, 0.963s behind the pole position holder. In the qualifying heat held later that day, the Cabo Junior Team driver would finish 3rd, behind Leonor Rocha and Francisco Correia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, young L\u00e1zaro's day began with a 2nd place finish in the final qualifying heat. The same position was secured in the Pre-Final that preceded the Final and ultimate race of the category this season. In the most important race of the weekend, Xavier L\u00e1zaro pushed his equipment to its limits, yet his competitive limitations were still evident, as the driver finished nearly six seconds behind the winner. Nevertheless, L\u00e1zaro secured the intermediate place on the podium in a race that served only to fulfill the schedule and, despite the cold and heavy rain, allowed the driver to have fun on the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I am very happy with the championship win; it's the well-deserved reward for this karting season\"<\/strong>, said Xavier L\u00e1zaro at the end. \"In this race, I was limited in my pace because I didn't get a good engine, but I gave my best and tried to have as much fun as possible\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
