  • Drivers: 89 competitors

    Qualifying:
    P19 in Group – P57 Overall
    Caught out by sudden rain just before the session began. The session was chaotic, and Noah was unable to get a clean lap due to traffic.

    Heat 1: Started P19 – Finished P13
    Clean and consistent; good race pace but few overtaking opportunities.

    Heat 2: Started P19 – Finished P11
    Damp conditions on slicks — focused on a smooth, clean drive.

    Heat 3: Started P19 – Finished P12
    Solid performance with strong speed.

    Heat 4: Started P20 – Finished P7
    Two new tyres and excellent pace delivered the fastest lap of the heat.

    Blistering pace, holding fastest lap for most of the race.

    Strong early pace faded slightly due to early push. Penalised post-race after another driver ran off track — a decision the team strongly contested.

    Summary:
    Noah showed front-running pace all weekend, especially in wet conditions and in the Pre-Final. A frustrating qualifying and final result didn’t reflect the performance, but the speed and racecraft shown offer plenty of positives for the next COTF round in Portugal.

  • Drivers: 98 competitors

    Qualifying:
    P16 in Group – P46 Overall
    Only two laps available and just one clean flying lap. Not ideal, but positioned for recovery.

    Heat 1: Started P16 – Finished P7
    Brilliant start, overtaking multiple karts around the outside in Turn 1.

    Heat 2: Started P16 – Finished P15
    Held position; lacked the pace to push forward.

    Heat 3: Started P16 – Finished P30
    Engine seized on the out lap — DNF.

    Heat 4: Started P15 – Finished P12
    Good speed but not enough to gain ground.

    Heat 5: Started P15 – Finished P2
    Two new tyres gave the grip needed to charge through the field with fantastic pace.

    Pre-Final: Started P16 – Finished P29
    Climbed to P7 before a puncture ruined what was shaping up to be a great race.

    Final: Started P35 – Finished P35
    A first-lap crash ended the race prematurely.

    Summary:
    Despite some standout drives — particularly in Heat 5 — Noah was plagued by mechanical issues and misfortune. An engine failure, a puncture, and a crash made it a tough weekend on paper, but flashes of front-running pace and smart racecraft showed real promise. The team is working with TM to address engine reliability ahead of the FIA opener.
