Vallelunga (ITA) 10 July 2023. Still good results for Academy Motorsport in the European Nascar, with a third place at Vallelunga for young Vladimiros Tziortzis, who firmly maintains the leadership of the En2 championship, after a race, that of Sunday, exciting and spectacular in a pure racing style .
Great satisfaction also in EnPro where on Sunday’s race Tziortzis took fourth place overall and the first step of the podium in the Junior Trophy after a determined and perfectly managed race with his FJ #5. On Saturday Tziortzis came close to third overall in the En2 race, but then a penalty for an alleged contact on track took him off the podium. At the end it was a good weekend,” said Tziortzis, “the extreme heat certainly made the handling of the car more difficult, it was impossible to push harder because the oil and water temperatures were at their highest, in the last laps of the EnPro I was praying that the car would hold out until the end. It’s important to have made it to the end of several races, to have taken important points and now we are already thinking about Most.”
More complicated weekend for Advait Deodhart and Max Mason in their #1 Ford Mustang respectively in EnPro and En2, although they fought hard to defend their positions, the results of several race contacts prevented them from completing their races. Disappointed by his Italian weekend, but already focused on the next round in Most at the end of August, Advait Deohdar says: “Definitely a different weekend from what I had imagined, in the end I only ran a few laps, the guys at Academy Motorsport worked incredibly hard to give us back a competitive car, but then the damage caused to the #1 during the En2 race where Max who was unfortunately involved, prevented us from continuing. But now lets focus on the next round in Most.”
The Italian weekend began with the fourth place in the Club Challenge of team owner and driver Federico Monti, who secured a second place overall in the championship, and who declared after two intense days: “I could certainly have done better in my race, but it is strange to say that the home race is always the most difficult for us,” said the driver. Unfortunate Advait who was involved despite a good performance in the on-track tussle, and everyone is sorry for Max involved in the crash that stopped his race. Incredible team, I really want to thank everybody for working so hard until the very end.”
