Podiums and drama: Raja Racing Academy shines at Lithuanian Supermoto Championship
The track in Aukštadvaris was alive with the roar of engines for the second round of the Lithuanian Supermoto Championship, and the Raja Racing Academy team was at the heart of the action. Both young talents and seasoned racers showcased their skill and determination, battling for every position and bringing home a haul of podium finishes.
Podium finishes and key results
The team’s hard work paid off with impressive results across multiple classes:
- Evaldas Ulčickas: 3rd place in H4
- Noelis Rajackas: 2nd place in SM50
- Joris Kvederavičius: 4th place in SM50
- Viktorija Pavilonytė: 6th place in SM50
- Nojus Bautronis: 10th place in Pitbike Junior
Ulčickas battles through drama
Evaldas Ulčickas delivered a weekend of pure racing drama in the H4 class. After a tough start in the first race, he fought his way to the lead, only to suffer a fall just two laps from the end, salvaging a third-place finish. In the second race, he narrowly avoided a major crash at the start and executed a brilliant last-lap overtake to secure second place, leaving him just one point shy of second overall.
Rajackas shows blistering pace
In the SM50 class, Noelis Rajackas was the rider to beat, setting the fastest time in qualifying to start both races from pole. While a rival got the jump at the start of each race, Noelis showed mature racecraft, relentlessly pressuring the leader throughout. He smartly avoided unnecessary risks to secure two second-place finishes and a fantastic overall result.
Resilience from the rising stars
Joris Kvederavičius consistently improved his personal best lap times but was hampered by setup issues at the start. Despite a fall in the second race that took him out of podium contention, his relentless fightback earned him a strong fourth place overall.
Seven-year-old Viktorija Pavilonytė continues to impress, showing growing confidence and speed with every event. Meanwhile, Nojus Bautronis had a tough weekend in the Pitbike Junior class. After a crash in qualifying, he fought back to fourth in the first race, but a second crash after the start of race two unfortunately ended his competition early.
Onward to the next challenge
The second round of the championship was a powerful display of the Raja Racing Academy’s talent and fighting spirit. From podium finishes to hard-fought battles, the team gained invaluable experience and motivation. They now turn their focus to the upcoming rounds, ready to push for even greater results.
