We skipped the first session for the same reason we missed the second day. As you can see in the photos, the K0 tire took quite a beating from the previous session. Unfortunately, fitting a new one wasn’t within the budget. The tire tech said it was risky to keep rotating the tire, but hey—I’m the boss 😅.
When you have multiple days at the same race track, you often pick up the pace right where you left off the previous day, and this time was no different. We skipped the first session because the track was still a bit cold, which would have only worn down the tire faster. We didn’t want to risk a crash since we had plenty of track time ahead.
And yet it is already the last time for me this 2024 year at Circuit Zolder!
Hot hot hot! It was a day where the weather was very hot. We brought hoses that we could use to cool ourselves down.
First time on Zolder with good weather. Due to many riders saying the have fast laptimes the fast group was full. So we had to start in the less fast group and that was not very nice. The first session there was already a red flag and the second session to.
