Kimura Racing driver Matt Caruana emerged victorious in the second round of the Northern European Esports Masters (NEEM) on the 24th June. Matt is in the highest tier of the competition.
During the UK Time Attack Round 2, he secured P1 which secured his spot in the highly anticipated Clash of Nations race. The event serves as a platform for the top drivers from each country to compete against one another, and Caruana’s exceptional performance has solidified his reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the world of esports racing.
As one of the top two drivers from the United Kingdom, Caruana had the opportunity to represent his country and pit his skills against the best racers from across Northern Europe. During the intense Clash of Nations race, Caruana found himself in fourth place, closely tailing the leading pack. During a fierce battle between two German drivers ahead of him this created an opportunity for Caruana to make a bold move, with masterful precision and lightning-fast reflexes, he expertly capitalised on the situation and leaped into second place.
Refusing to settle for anything less than victory, Caruana relentlessly pushed forward, determined to claim the top spot. The final results of the Clash of Nations race placed Matt Caruana in first place, showcasing his exceptional consistency and undeniable quality. Accompanying Caruana on the podium were Anders Myhre of Norway in second place and Sam Kuitert of Holland in third place, both of whom put up an impressive fight throughout the event.
