I do not know if this letter will be published, but do accept the outburst of a father “wounded” by this sport that has always given me so many emotions but that today has given me fears, deeply disappointing me.
The 5th race of the Iame X30 trophy was held on Sunday 23 June 2019 at Adria. During the X30 Junior Final, on lap two, near Turn 4, two drivers touched each other on a straight: one went out the left side of the track, while the other suffered the blow by moving drastically to the right into the full racing line. My son, who was immediately behind, was unable to avoid the crash despite moving, to the maximum allowed by the track, to the right. The end result is that his left front wheel hooked the rear right of the kart preceding him, triggering a frightening “trampoline effect” that threw him into the air for several meters, made him completely lose control of the vehicle that then crashed into the partitioned barriers that caved in (they literally exploded, spilling out the water they contained) and also acted as a pivot on the front of the kart, which then overturned and stopped on the other side of the track (where the finish line is).
