Dominant win at the FIA International Esports Trophy
FIA Press Release: https://www.fia.com/FIAKartingEsportsInternationalTrophy
This past weekend I competed in the FIA International Esports Trophy, held alongside the FIA Karting World Championship, one of the most prestigious stages in global karting and esports. The event brought together some of the very best sim racers, all fighting for an FIA title on the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit.
Racing with Maffi Esports, the sim racing arm of the Maffi Racing Formula 4 team, made this event even more special. It was the very first official outing for the newly founded team, and we were able to deliver a result to remember. Across three races, I won two and came incredibly close to a clean sweep. In the last race I was two seconds down with only a few laps left due to chaos at the start, but I kept pushing, closed the gap to just 0.1 seconds, and simply ran out of time to make the move.
2 wins and a P2 meant I finished first overall, securing the trophy and giving Maffi Esports a dream debut on the international stage. To win on one of the sport’s biggest platforms, representing such a new team, shows the strength of this project and the potential of what we can achieve together.
To start this project with such a result shows what is possible when preparation, focus, and determination come together. This is the perfect foundation, and the goal is clear: to keep building, keep improving, and keep chasing the next victory!
