🏁 IWF26 – IAME Warriors Final | Zack Zhu Fights Hard to Finish P6! 🇮🇹

The 2026 IAME Warriors Final concluded at the Leopard Circuit in Viterbo, Italy, with Zack Zhu securing P6 after an intense week of racing.

It was far from an easy weekend. Zack struggled with a significant straight-line speed deficit compared to his main rivals. Despite several gearing adjustments, finding the right balance proved difficult: longer gearing offered more potential top speed but compromised low-end power and acceleration out of corners.

Nevertheless, Zack showed impressive determination throughout the event. Qualifying P13, he charged through the field to finish P5 in the opening heat. Despite penalties affecting his second heat, he fought back with consistent performances to secure P8 overall after the qualifying heats, followed by P6 in the Super Heat.

🔥 An Intense Final – Fighting Like a Lion!

Starting from P8, Zack made a spectacular start, fighting his way up to P2 in the opening laps! He initially matched the pace of the front-runners, showing his potential to compete at the sharp end of the field.

However, from lap three onwards, while his rivals continued to improve their pace, Zack was unable to match their speed. The engine performance deficit became particularly noticeable on the straights, leaving him vulnerable to overtaking.

Despite the disadvantage, Zack fought like a lion until the very last lap! 🦁💪

He defended every position with determination and courage, while maintaining clean, fair and respectful racing throughout the battle.

After an exhausting fight, Zack crossed the finish line in P6.

Racing isn’t just about outright speed. It’s also about determination, character and never giving up.
