ROTAX MAX CHALLENGE ITALIA – ZONA NORD – RD4

BATTAGLIE SENZA ESCLUSIONI DI COLPI A CASTELLETTO

The fourth race of the Rotax Max Challenge Italia of Northern area has recently been consumed at the 7 Lakes circuit of Castelletto di Branduzzo. The highly technical track allowed us to attend races played on the wire of the cents and some important changes in the trophy charts.

In Rotax Mini is the solo of Davide Bottaro (Irt Engines) in Sunday morning qualifying, who sees him mark an inadmissible time for opponents. The challenger to the Brando Badoni Championship (FooDrivers) joins him in the front row. At the start of race-1 it starts very well Bottaro and bad Badoni, with Lanzara (54SC) that takes advantage of the bad start of the latter to jump in second place. Bottaro's escape is immediately successful, while it is a struggle between Lanzara and Badoni for the second position. After several empty attempts, Badoni's overtaking goes to a good end to the second hairpin, leaving Lanzara to fight for the p3 with Matteo Berruti. Vince Bottaro, Badoni is second while Lanzara manages to hold the third position. Race-2 has an unforeseen trend. On the ready way, Badoni's departure is better than race-1, and this allows him to start immediately Bottaro, who runs away anyway in the head. Badoni, however, seems determined to make life difficult to his opponent, and surpasses him on the third lap. Bottaro immediately tries to retrace in the head, but Badoni is highly determined not to give up the head of the race. The race goes on with the tandem of head that stretches on the couple Lanzara-Berruti, which in turn fight for the podium. It seems to have more of Bottaro, but it does not manage at all to defeat Badoni's determination to remain clinging to the first square, but on the penultimate lap a decisive attack on the left ramp goes to good end and allows him to take home the last victory, even if this time much sweatier. Third place has the best Berruti.

Also beautiful the race Rotax Junior Pietro Pons (Honolulu Racing), who for only 4 cents wins the pole position on an ensuing Kiko Fracassi (LKA Dannic). In difficulty the leader of the championship Leonardo Baccaglini, who finds no feeling with the pavese track and takes only in the fourth row. Andrea Giudice (Foo Drivers), a direct rival of Baccaglini at the title and immediately tries to take advantage of the situation and, a few turns later, in the head. Probelmi to the start instead for Fracassi, which, from the first row, slips at the bottom of the group. The head duo Giudice-Pons extends to the group of pursuers, led by Marotto (Lka Dannic) who is pursued closely by Andrea Perduca and Martino Zorgno (54SC). Precisely Marotto will have the worst in the tightened struggle between these three, having different positions. The pair of heads seems ready to turn on the mice for a final duel, but in the last laps Andrea Giudice manages to pull out those tenths more to space Pons. Second seasonal victory for him, with Pons great second and Perduca who finally is third. Excellent race also of Fracassi that after the difficulties to the way recovers up to the p5. In race-2 it is always Judge to parade well, but also Perduca is the author of an excellent start, which catapults him in second place. Pons, however, is determined to immediately recover the position behind Judge, but the bagarre with Perduca allows the FooDrivers driver to take precious meters of advantage. Fracassi also manages to overtake Perduca and throws herself

Fracassi also manages to overtake Perduca and throws herself Rotax Max with the first two rows of the qualification enclosed in less than a tenth of a second. Jacopo Sisti (LKA Dannic) is again in pole, flanked by the defending champion Elia Galvanin (KSB). All in all quiet in race-1 with Sisti taking a little margin, dragging diterto Galvanin ,Nucola Guerra (54SC) and Michele Chizzali, leader of the championship. The trio of head stretches with Galvain which opens the dances with the overtaking of the lake on Sisti, which must also be seen from the return of War. War itself, however, is forced to lose positions for an electric problem, slipping seventh, and leaving Sisti and Chizzali to fight for the second position. Galvanin takes a slight safety margin that allows him to arrive first at the finish line, with Sisti who is second in front of Chizzali. In race-2, however, we are witnessing a great challenge between Chizzali and Galvanin, respectively leader of the ranking and defending champion of the category. At the start is Galvanin to parade at the command, while Sisti chases him. Chizzali then surpasses Sisti and launches in pursuit of Galvanin. So many Chizzali attacks and as many answers as Galvanin: the defending champion responds to the attacks of the leader of the 2020 leader, always preventing him from passing to command. After a few laps of "pause", Chizzali tries again, at 2 turns from the end, a last attack on the hairpin, but is again rejected by Galvanin, who takes the victory. Also beautiful is the remonta of Nicola Guerra, who, starting seventh, arrives third at the finish line, in front of Sisti, fourth.
