Heavy Rain Halfway Through My Stint! | Stint 3/3 | Kartcentrum Lelystad

Описание: My final recorded stint of the Dutch 24 Hours began at 02:45 in the morning, right when fatigue was kicking in and the weather decided to make things even harder. The track was mostly dry at the start, but halfway through the stint a light rain began falling… and it didn’t take long before the circuit became properly wet again.

I’ll be honest: this was my toughest stint by far. I didn’t feel fully comfortable in the wet, and it definitely showed in my pace. Grip disappeared almost instantly, braking zones changed every lap, and mistakes were easy to make. Still, I kept it steady, avoided incidents, and brought the kart home as safely as I could, which is exactly what the team needed at that moment.

I also can’t use my 07:20 stint footage from later because a dirty lens ruined the entire recording. Endurance racing problems!

What’s harder in your opinion? A fully wet track, or a “just started raining” track where the grip disappears instantly?
