Henri Möhring concluded the first stage of his racing season in Italy with the Tropheo Andrea Margutti. In rainy conditions on the South Garda Circuit, he wanted to be at the front again. In the end, he showed a lot of fighting spirit, but was not satisfied with the result. The start was still promising. He was among the front-runners in the free practice sessions and was confident about qualifying. However, he missed out on a good position on the track and was held up on his fastest lap. As a result, he was only twelfth in his group.

There was a ray of hope in the last heat. Henri was one of the fastest and did some damage limitation in seventh place. “I feel comfortable on the wet track. It’s supposed to continue raining in the finals tomorrow, which gives me a good chance of a successful finish,” said the ten-year-old from Hesse in a good mood. Unfortunately, this quickly evaporated after the start of the pre-final. A problem with the carburator slowed him down and he only finished 33rd. A difficult task awaited him at the end of the field in the final. However, Henri did not bury his head in the sand and made up 13 places over the course of the race.

“Of course I’m frustrated. I had a great Tony Kart debut last year. But we’ve been unlucky since the start of the season. Once things go well, a setback is not long in coming. I’m now looking forward to the first race of the ACI, the Italian championship, in Ugento next week and, of course, to the German racing season. I’ll be competing there in the DMKM for 7L Performance and would like to make an immediate impression in Mariembourg. “, the youngster from Schöneck remains motivated.

The German Mini Kart Championship kicks off on the Easter weekend from April 18-20. The highest German kart racing series will then take place for the first time in Mariembourg, Belgium.
