Fine-tuning makes the difference at Circuit Mallorca 🏎️

Fiol's dominance was no coincidence. On a technical circuit like Mallorca, with tight corners and short straights, chassis setup and tire choice proved key. Fiol knew how to adapt his kart to the asphalt conditions, maintaining a consistent pace that his rivals could not match. Brake temperature management also played a significant role in maintaining traction through every turn.

The rivals, left eating Fiol's dust 😅

For Peñaranda and Nigorra, the race was like going to dinner and only being served the appetizer. Fiol didn't leave even the crumbs. While they tried to figure out how to close the gap, the leader had already set course for the podium. Of course, there's always the consolation that, at least, the weather was good for grabbing a drink in the stands and watching the championship get more and more interesting.
