Scuderia Estoras – Race Weekend 4 & 5 Double Header Highlights

What a weekend! With 15 karts under the tent and a full race card across two jam-packed days, Scuderia Estoras turned out in full force for Races 4 & 5 of the season. The paddock was alive with energy — returning talent, new team members, roaring engines, and more than a few podiums. We saw personal breakthroughs, wheel-to-wheel battles, emotional highs, and tough moments, all wrapped in the signature Estoras team spirit.

Here’s how the weekend unfolded — driver by driver.

Teagan Kleine – TAG Junior & LO206 Junior

Teagan continues to evolve into a competitive junior driver. At just 14 years old, he's already showing the kind of maturity and determination that you'd expect from a seasoned competitor. Over the course of the weekend, he handled the intense challenge of running in both TAG Junior and LO206 Junior — a workload that would stretch even the most experienced drivers.

Saturday in TAG Junior saw Teagan qualify P7 and hold position in both the pre-final and final. He ran clean races and stayed focused in traffic, proving that consistency and control are becoming his trademarks. Over in LO206 Junior, he qualified P6 and held that in the pre-final before delivering a standout performance in the final to climb to P5.

Sunday brought even more grit. In TAG Junior, he qualified P6 and was poised for a solid run — until Turn 1 of the final, where contact with another kart sent him back. He regrouped quickly and battled hard to get back to P7. That kind of mental toughness is what separates good drivers from great ones. In LO206 Junior, he qualified P5, moved to P4 in the pre-final, and brought it home P5 again in the final after a series of tight on-track battles.

Across both days and both classes, Teagan never stopped pushing. His weekend was a blueprint in determination, composure, and growth.

Daniel Mesbah – TAG Junior (Debut Weekend)

Daniel made his debut this weekend — and didn’t just show up, he showed promise. Jumping into the competitive TAG Junior field for the first time is no small feat, and Daniel approached every session with a learner’s mindset and competitive spirit.

Saturday was all about getting settled. He qualified P9 and kept it tidy through the pre-final and final, finishing P10. What stood out was his ability to stay calm under pressure and hold his own in close quarters racing.

By Sunday, you could see his confidence growing. He qualified P9 again, then moved up to P7 in the pre-final with a series of clean passes. The final dealt him a challenge — a Turn 1 incident set him back — but he recovered with composure to bring it home in P9.

For a driver in his first weekend, Daniel handled himself like someone with far more seat time. His debut left no doubt: he’s got the right tools to become a front-runner.

Ava Jude-Lilly – TAG Cadet Elite Mini/Micro

Ava keeps rising — and this weekend was another step forward in her development. The cadet field is always tight, always scrappy, and Ava continues to show that she belongs in the thick of it.

On Saturday, she qualified P8 and ran a smart pre-final to move into P7. In the final, she dropped slightly to P10, but more importantly, she held her ground in a field full of tough competitors. Her spatial awareness and throttle control were evident, and she’s learning to pick her moments in wheel-to-wheel racing.

Sunday brought a new set of challenges. She qualified P10 and went into the final with her usual fire. This time, she pushed through and finished P7 — her best result of the weekend.

Each session showed growth, not just in lap times, but in how she approached battles and responded to pressure. Ava's mix of aggression and race smarts is coming together beautifully. She’s fearless, sharp, and gaining confidence with every lap.

Daniel Monteiro – TAG Masters

Daniel brought serious fire to the track both days, showing why he’s one of the most aggressive and exciting drivers in the Masters field.

On Saturday, he qualified P6 and used every inch of the track to claw his way up to P4 in the pre-final. The final was a bruising battle, with drivers fighting tooth-and-nail for position — and Daniel thrived in the chaos, eventually finishing P6 after some intense side-by-side moments that had our whole tent on edge.

Sunday picked up right where he left off. He qualified P6 again, ran P7 in the pre-final while mixing it up with the front pack, and delivered one of his grittiest performances of the weekend in the final, moving up to P5.

Daniel's driving style is all-in, full-send, and absolutely thrilling to watch. He pushes hard, races fair, and brings fire to every session. He made sure no one had an easy time in the TAG Masters field.

Dan McDermott – TAG Masters Heavy & Shifter

Returning from foot surgery, Dan made a courageous comeback that was felt by the whole team.

Saturday started with signs of rust, as he worked to rebuild rhythm and confidence — but as the day went on, it all started to click. He qualified P2 in TAG Masters Heavy and locked in that position through the pre-final. In the final, he ran a smart and steady race to bring home P3 and earn a podium finish.

In Shifter, Dan qualified P4 but didn’t make it to the start of the final, saving his strength for Sunday. And that’s when things took a tough turn. He qualified P2 in both TAG Masters Heavy and Shifter, looking sharp and fast, but was caught in a racing incident during the pre-final that ended his weekend early. Unfortunately, that incident will also sideline him for the rest of the season.

It was a heartbreaking end, but Dan’s comeback, perseverance, and attitude reminded us all why we love this sport — and why we’re so lucky to have him in our paddock. We’ll be cheering for his recovery every step of the way.

Shawn Caspar – TAG Masters (Debut)

Shawn made his debut on Saturday and brought great energy to the team.

He qualified P11 and ran clean through the pre-final and final to finish P12 both times. Though he didn’t race Sunday, his Saturday performance and positive attitude left a lasting impression. He showed poise, patience, and a real love for the sport — a strong start to what we hope is a long racing journey.

Marco Kacic – TAG Senior

Marco’s weekend was a masterclass in speed, strategy, and execution.

On Saturday, he started off strong — qualifying P2 and locking in P2 in both the pre-final and final. What stood out was his relentless pressure on the leader, Kellen Ritter, throughout every session. He was constantly in the mirrors, looking for an opening, and making Kellen work for every lap. Even though he didn't take the win, Marco proved he could match pace with one of Canada’s fastest TAG Senior drivers.

Sunday was where it all came together. After another P2 in qualifying and a strong pre-final, Marco was on the hunt again in the final. This time, he got his moment. When Kellen made his first and only mistake of the weekend, Marco pounced — executing a decisive pass and holding the lead to the flag. It was an electric moment for the team. He raced with confidence, patience, and pure racecraft. The paddock was buzzing, and rightly so. Team boss was back on the top!

Jack Eriksson – LO206 Senior

Jack worked hard all weekend in one of the largest and most competitive grids of the event.

Saturday was a rollercoaster — after qualifying P24, he improved to P18 in the pre-final, showing grit and smart driving. But in the final, a few tough breaks and traffic issues dropped him back to P24. Still, Jack kept his head up and came back stronger Sunday.

Sunday, he qualified P25 and stayed patient in the pre-final, sticking to his plan and avoiding incidents. In the final, he pushed forward to finish P17 — his best result of the weekend.

Jack’s progression over the weekend was a reflection of his work ethic and perseverance. He’s constantly learning and growing, and this weekend was another solid step forward. We’re proud of how he kept fighting every lap.

Massimo Perozzo – LO206 Senior (Debut Weekend)

Massimo made waves in his first-ever race weekend with Scuderia Estoras. Jumping into the LO206 Senior field — one of the biggest and most stacked classes of the event — he kept his cool and drove like a veteran.

Saturday started with a P26 in qualifying, but he refused to stay there. With each lap, he picked off drivers and worked his way up to P15 in the final. It was one of the biggest gains of the day, and the paddock took notice.

Sunday he qualified P20 and once again showed he was there to compete. A solid pre-final brought him to P19, and in the final, he delivered another strong result with P15. Massimo brought composure, coachability, and a great attitude.

For a first-timer to secure back-to-back top-15s in that field is no small feat. He proved that he's not just here to participate — he's here to climb.

Patrick Kleine – LO206 Heavy & Shifter

Patrick brought a full range of experience, speed, and composure to the weekend. He ran both LO206 Heavy and Shifter — a demanding schedule that tested both physical stamina and mental focus. In Shifter, he was razor sharp.

Qualifying P2 Saturday and P1 Sunday, he controlled the pre-finals and stayed smooth in the finals. He brought home P2 both days, staying consistent in a small but skilled field. In LO206 Heavy, Saturday saw him qualify P10 and battle his way to P5 in the final — a race filled with tight margins and fierce defending.

Sunday was shaping up for another strong finish until disaster struck. After qualifying P7 and running well in the final, a flat tire with one lap to go forced him to limp the kart home in P11.

It was a frustrating moment, but Patrick handled it with the grace of a veteran. His poise and pace remain key pillars of the Estoras team.

Blake Lilly – Shifter

Blake was all business in the Shifter class, and his focus never wavered across the weekend.

On Saturday, he qualified P3 and brought the kart home P3 in the final — delivering smooth, calculated laps and staying out of trouble.

Sunday saw even more progress. After qualifying P3 again, he ran P2 in the pre-final and put together a clean final to secure another P3 finish.

It wasn’t about flash — it was about consistency, control, and doing the job right every time.
