Another important step forward for Valerio De Gaetano. 👏🏼🙌🏼🏁
Not every weekend is measured by trophies or podiums. Sometimes, the greatest achievement is the progress made along the way,and this was certainly the case for Valerio De Gaetano.
It was not an easy weekend, but throughout the event Valerio continued to demonstrate encouraging pace, consistently running close to the top ten and showing clear signs of improvement. Unfortunately, a small issue during qualifying forced him to start from the back of the grid, making the challenge even greater.
Despite the setback, Valerio never stopped fighting. Race after race, he worked his way forward through the field, producing strong recovery drives and ultimately securing a 22nd-place finish in the Final, a result that does not fully reflect the pace and effort shown throughout the weekend.
What impressed us most was not only the determination on track, but also the maturity and character he displayed when things were not going perfectly. Learning to stay focused, adapt, and continue working when outright speed is harder to find is a fundamental part of a driver’s development, and Valerio handled the situation with the right mindset.
At Too Fast Academy, we know that these experiences are an essential part of the journey, and we are pleased with the progress he continues to make both as a driver and as a competitor.
A special thank you to Team Pacitto racing for their hard work and support throughout the weekend.
Now the focus shifts to the upcoming testing programme at La Conca, where preparations will continue ahead of the next rounds and, potentially, the Italian Championship, where we know the potential is there to achieve strong results.
Keep working, keep learning, and keep moving forward. The best is yet to come. 🚀
