The E20 Senior and E20 Masters categories got together for their Qualifying for the RMCGF 2023 in Bahrain on Wednesday afternoon. The weather was fine and dry, of course, with 23° on the thermometer.
The Rotax electric karts, using Sodi chassis, took to the track at the appointed time, always in astonishing silence. Although the engines didn’t need to heat up like a combustion engine, the Mojo tyres had to gradually warm up to give maximum grip for the 5′ session. Brougham Spencer (GBR) was in the lead ahead of Lewis Smith (BHR). He was soon replaced by Knud Nielsen (DNK) and Mats Johan Overhoff (DEU). Joao Goncalves (BRA) was leading in Master. Brougham remained the leader in 53”485, 8 thousandths ahead of Nielsen and 20 thousandths ahead of Overhoff. Goncalves was the first Master in 54”050, followed by Igor Mukhin (CYP) 3 tenths behind and Andreas Matis (DEU) 3rd.
