Nikita Ljubimov was the protagonist of the weekend in Wackersdorf, the second round of the Rotax Max Euro Trophy, finishing in the top five.
It was an all-out weekend for the Estonian driver of the Bouvin Power team, racing for the first time at the German track of Wackersdorf.
After free practice, which was useful to familiarise himself with the track and work together with the team on the best set-up, Nikita proved to be very competitive right from official qualifying. Fifth overall for Nikita, third in his session with the best lap time of 53.593.
An excellent lap time to aim high in the three heats on the programme. Races with improving results for Nikita, sixth in the first heat (with best lap in the race), fifth in the second heat and finally third in the last heat with two positions recovered.
Sunday’s grand final saw Nikita battle from third position in the pre-final, immediately taking the lead. A heated battle then concluded the race with fifth place. The final was also high voltage with Nikita starting in second place and immediately attacking for first place over the course of the laps. The performance grew until the usual fight in the full style of the Mini category which, in the end, saw the Estonian driver finish in fifth place.
