10th on her first European KZ1 Championship is already a good result but Beitske Visser is only half satisfied with her weekend in Wackersdorf. Several problems slowed down her progress to the lead, including the tyres used in the race, medium instead of the soft ones initially required, which had been used by the Intrepid Team to prepare karts. What is more, the circuit layout was not suitable for KZ1 and overtaking was very difficult. And finally, there were several clashes and Beitske’s chassis suffered the consequences on several occasions.
Despite these difficulties, the young Dutch girl never got discouraged. 6th in timed qualifying, she went to the attack on the first qualification heat. While in second position, she was run into after a few meters and was pushed down to 21st. Things did not go much better in the second heat, with a 12th place. 23rd at the start of the pre-final, Beitske tried to recover, but the track was jammed and she concluded with an 18th place. Luckily, the final paved her way to the top 10, despite another clash. Although she thought she had her place in the top 5, Beitske appreciates her 10th place and is already looking forward to her next race!
