Andrés Fonseca empieza bien en el Mundial Rotax
Valencia, España. El piloto costarricense Andrés Fonseca inició de buena manera su participación en el Campeonato Mundial de Kartismo Rotax, esto luego de correr sus primeras tres prácticas oficiales en el kartodromo Lucas Guerrero, escenario donde arrancaron las actividades en la pista desde este martes. ( clic aquí para ver galería de fotos del día )
Más alla de los resultados el costarricense se mostró satisfecho con el inicio del trabajo en su kart dentro de la pista ,pues ha logrado avanzar en la puesta a punto de su motor y chasis luego de girar en tres ocasiones, cada una de ellas de 10 minutos de duración.
«La primera práctica es lo que llamamos el aflojamiento del motor que está nuevo, luego hemos ido acelerando más fuerte para conocer bien la pista y el chasis porque es de la marca Praga que nunca había corrido antes» explicó Fonseca que además tuvo que superar un fuerte quebranto de salud que lo afecto a su llegada a España y del cual apenas este martes se sintió recuperado.
Por ejemplo en la segunda práctica del día Fonseca se ubicó en la posición 15 de su grupo ( karts con números impares ) con un tiempo de 56,879 segundos, es decir, su mejor tiempo lo ubicaría en la posición 27 dentro de los más de 70 pilotos que están corriendo en su categoría Rotax DD2 Masters, a la gran final clasificarán los mejores 34 pilotos.
«Vamos bien y estamos satisfechos hasta ahora con lo que hemos logrado, en la tercera práctica logramos un tiempo similar al de la segunda a pesar de que hicimos unos cambios en el kart que quisimos probar de una vez y no dieron el resultado esperado» explicó el piloto.
Su mejor tiempo de la tercera práctica fue de 56,860 con el que terminó en la posición 17 de su grupo y 32 en la combinación de ambos grupos, el costarricense aprovecho esta sesión para probar otro tipo de relación en su caja de cambios y que al final de la misma comprobó no era la mejor, a pesar de eso logro igual sus mejores tiempos.
«El cambio no fue bueno pero logramos el mismo tiempo porque mejoramos en el chasis, mañana regresaremos al setup anterior de la caja de cambios y esperamos mejorara unas 4 décimas en nuestro tiempo» dijo el piloto
Como referencia el mejor tiempo del día en la categoría Rotax DD2 Masters lo marco el piloto Cristiano Morgado con un cono de 56,120.
Para mañana miércoles el costarricense tendrá dos prácticas no clasificatorias por la mañana en donde podrá seguir buscando una mejor configuración de su kart, por la tarde tendrá su primer heat clasificatorio de cara a meterse entre los mejores 34 pilotos del mundo que correrán las finales el día sábado.

[text_block_nav title=»Intro»]In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next.
First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled ‘ORANGE MARMALADE’, but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.[/text_block_nav][text_block_nav title=»Middle»]’Well!’ thought Alice to herself, ‘after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!’ (Which was very likely true.)
Down, down, down. Would the fall NEVER come to an end! ‘I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?’ she said aloud. ‘I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think—’ (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) ‘—yes, that’s about the right distance—but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?’ (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)
Presently she began again. ‘I wonder if I shall fall right THROUGH the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—’ (she was rather glad there WAS no one listening, this time, as it didn’t sound at all the right word) ‘—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ (and she tried to curtsey as she spoke—fancy CURTSEYING as you’re falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) ‘And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.'[/text_block_nav][text_block_nav title=»Ending»]Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. ‘Dinah’ll miss me very much to-night, I should think!’ (Dinah was the cat.) ‘I hope they’ll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I’m afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that’s very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder?’ And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, ‘Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?’ and sometimes, ‘Do bats eat cats?’ for, you see, as she couldn’t answer either question, it didn’t much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, ‘Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?’ when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, ‘Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!’ She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.[/text_block_nav][review_summary title=»Review summary» summary=»This is an awesome product that looks great is easy to use» positives=»Great design
