Tuesday in Portimão brought rain, but Team USA still got their practice laps in, working through the wet conditions and getting a feel for the karts in changing grip. 🌧️
We’ve now gotten word that all of Wednesday’s track time is canceled because of the inclement and dangerous weather. Safety comes first, and the team is hoping to get back on track Thursday.
