After a disappointing start, Mathilda Paatz literally got her act together again at the FIA European Karting Championship race in Trinec, Czech Republic: A technical defect destroyed the important qualifying session, so that the DPK-Racing driver had to start from the back of the field in the heats. The initial frustration turned into a desire for overtaking manoeuvres, so that Paatz shone with numerous position gains over the course of the weekend.
At the second round of the Champions of the Future Euro Series (CotF) in Trinec, Czech Republic, Mathilda Paatz impressed with a strong recovery: After an unsuccessful qualifying in which the DPK-Racing driver was thwarted by an opponent, she managed much better in the heats and gradually fought her way to the front. In the pre-final on Saturday, Paatz was able to prove her talent when she made up 13 positions. Nevertheless, the 14-year-old missed out on the final she had hoped for, but the steep learning curve gives her confidence.
