"It was a crazy weekend and the first double header of the season. Many things learned overall and ready for the next one! Round 2 didn't start well since there were complications in qualifying and a few incidents throughout the heats. However it all came through in the finals! Round 3 was entirely the opposite. Qualifying was decent, and I was able to work my way through the field in the heats. Unfortunately I had an accident in the finals that threw it all away."Round 3 (Sat November 6, 2021)

ROUND 7 from home Al Forsan was fun, with an awesome Final in spite of my questionable penalty
ROUNDS 5 and 6 from Yas Marina Circuit, the home of the Formula 1 race, are history
