FFSA Championnat Régional Aquitaine Merignac

On 21st March 2010, Alvis started his first FFSA kart racing at Merignac Kart System under Kart Center Biscarrosse Ecoles Françaises de Karting . It was almost the same scenario as his first Ufolep race at Magescq last year. It was a wet Sunday morning and he has only about 6 laps of free practice on a new track. Again, with his ability of quick adaptation to the new track, he was able to clock the 2nd fastest lap time. His mechanic was happy with his timing and gave him a high five.



Alvis had a few great efforts to attempt to overtake the leader in the qualification round but was unsuccessful. He came in 2nd and that sum up the first half for minikart category.



After lunch, the weather turned sunny and the track started to dry up a little. During the pre-final, Alvis made his move right from the starting grid and managed to out brake the leader at the first corner to take the lead. He maintained his lead for the rest of the laps. During the weighing, it was noted that Alvis did not meet the required minimum weight. He was a bit disappointed with the weight issue, given that he put in his effort in attempting to overtake the leader and finished first in the pre-final.



Back in the paddock, the mechanic had to add more weight to Alvis's kart to ensure that the minimum requirement is met. With his disappointment, there were a lot of encouragement given to Alvis for the final round. This was the first time that I told him to win a race to proof that his winning during the pre-final was not because of lighter in weight but his ability to win. He has proven himself and did Kart Center Biscarrosse EFK proud by winning the final race with a fist punched in the air.
