Third consecutive podium finish for SBD!

Raceweekend GK4 Mariembourg : P2 en P6 Rotax Max Senior for SBD Racing.

The sunny Mariembourg was the place to be for the first GK4 race of the 2024 season.

After an intensive training day on Friday April 12, we were ready on Sunday morning. First we had to sort out the admin, go through the technical inspection and briefing and we could start our warm-up session around 9:00 AM.

Then we were ready for the real stuff. During the quali, it quickly became clear that it was going to be an intense race: the leading group was clearly evenly matched and mixing the Rotax Max Seniors with the Juniors made the race more difficult. A solid result was achieved and Dante was able to start in P5, Brent in P6 for the Seniors.

During race 1, the left lane was held up at the rolling start due to a driver error by P2 and Dante had to step up his game to eliminate the lost positions. Brent was involved in a racing incident caused by an over-enthusiastic Junior. Result: Dante P6, Brent P10, a broken handlebar, broken gloves and some abrasions.

On to race 2: Dante managed to work his way up to P4 despite some engine problems and Brent did the necessary work to advance to P8.

And then the race final. Both riders had a good start and were completely focused. It was a very exciting race, with beautiful overtakes and good defense of the racing line. Despite the difficult nature of the race, our riders were able to achieve a great result. Brent achieved a nice 6th place within the category and Dante was able to secure a beautiful 2nd place.

We are very proud of the results achieved, the personal growth and the good mindset of our riders. We are ready for the rest of the GK4 season!!!
