Felix Nilsson has found the place he deserves within the Energy Corse official team, a very capable and organised group: “In the Energy team, people motivate me to do the best I can” Felix explains. “Organisation is perfect, my kart is one of the best and they continue to teach me how to go faster. They never let me idle about and this is something I really appreciate. It is exactly what I needed“.
At the WSK Master Series meeting held at La Conca, which was the second round of the 2012 KF3 season, this young Swedish driver reached the front runners in a very challenging class. First Felix set the 7th fastest time in timed qualifying, and then he fought at the front of the pack in the qualifying heats, concluding with a 3rd place in the intermediate classification. Then he held on to his 2nd place in the pre-final.
In the final race, a so-so start made by the driver at the front of his row penalised him slightly, but he did not lose ground and climbed back up to 3rd place, before he was attacked by a compact group at the hairpin. He was pushed off his line, lost some time due to dirty tyres and then pushed as hard as he could, setting times very close to those of the leaders to finish 9th.
An excellent 5th place in the Championship classification came as a reward for a weekend very encouraging for the rest of the season: Felix’s spirits are definitely high before the forthcoming meeting of Sarno.
