      <image:title>Race Report [Blog] - The GRDC World Sprint Championship – My Rookie Season Recap</image:title>
      <image:caption>Round 7 was a night race at the legendary Le Mans. I was pumped. Qualified P11 out of 15 hypercars. Good start. Some scrapes in the opening corners but all fine... until the first chicane on the Mulsanne. Four cars nose-to-tail, all braking early on cold tires — except the one at the back. That car slammed the wall and launched straight into me. Damage. Limped on. Then clipped the wall trying to go around a spinning car in the Porsche Curves. More damage. I pitted. Lost time. Got mad. Lost focus. Crashed again. Pitted again. Then pitted a third time before the race ended. Finished P13. Rage quit. Shut everything down. Took a shower. Came back and laughed it off in the Discord channel with a cold glass of Coke.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Race Report [Blog] - The GRDC World Sprint Championship – My Rookie Season Recap</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rounds 8 and 9, at Portimão and COTA, were refreshingly uneventful. I qualified and finished P8 in both races. No drama, no major mistakes — just consistent, solo racing. Honestly, it was a bit lonely out there, but it gave me time to focus on driving clean and smooth. After the chaos of previous rounds, I was happy with that.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Race Report [Blog] - The GRDC World Sprint Championship – My Rookie Season Recap</image:title>
      <image:caption>Monza was a disconnect. One of those infuriating server kicks that drops you mid-race. Nothing I could do. Imola was a mess of my own making. It was wet in practice and qualifying, and I gambled on wets for the race — which turned out to be a mistake. The track was damp, but drying. I crashed. Repaired. Rejoined on mediums. Got stuck in LMGT3 traffic. Crashed again. Retired. Confidence: shattered.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Race Report [Blog] - The GRDC World Sprint Championship – My Rookie Season Recap</image:title>
      <image:caption>Round 2 at Spa went better. I got more practice in and started to figure out the braking. Still terrified of traffic, especially on a track like Spa where one mistake can ruin your race. I qualified P18 of 19 hypercars — still in the back, but not last! A massive Lap 1 incident gifted me some positions, and I finished P11. Rounds 3 and 4 (Fuji and Bahrain) saw me finishing P12 and P11 — consistent, steady improvement. But then came the lows...</image:caption>
