Azerbaijani pilot Davin Jafarov participated in the open karting championship held in Portugal.
Idman.biz reports that 22 pilots from 3 countries competed for the championship in the X30 category on the Palmela international track.
Davin faced an accident in the first stage. In the semi-final, while moving at 80 km/h, another pilot coming from behind did not use the brakes in time and touched the rear tire of the kart driven by our representative. A temporary pause was created in the race.
Since no fractures or head injuries were detected in Davin Jafarov, who was taken to the hospital, the athlete was allowed to participate in the final stage with the athlete's desire and the doctors' consent.
Despite starting the final stage from 17th place, Davin managed to finish 9th in the final standings. Nuno Ignacio, the Portuguese director of the "Birelart" team, presented the "fast pilot" medal to our athlete, who participated in the final stage after taking painkillers, for his perseverance and for overtaking 8 experienced rivals. Our representative, who will celebrate his 16th birthday in September, has previously won the Portuguese Cup in the EK125 CC category.
It should be noted that Davin, an international professional karting pilot, defends the honor of the "Birel Art" team in Portugal. "Birel" discovered Formula 1 stars such as Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
