ROTAX MAX CHALLENGE ITALIA 2021 – RD2 – ZONA CENTRO – SUD

In archive also the second round of Rotax Max Challenge Italy to the south center area. On the weekend just past was played, as said, the Rd2 of the challenge and as if not enough the agonism and the clutch of the drivers to give show, also the weather wanted to be protagonist putting a little pepper in the already tasty soup. The frame was Circuito Racing Kart by Casaluce that, traditionally, is proposed as an opportunity of competition in March. The occasion was the 8th Casaluce City Cup. The event took place in closed doors and in full safety thanks to the punctual socio-sanitary service set up by the promoter and owner of the circuit Antonio Russo. The respect of the Federal protocols is the only weapon that the movement has available to avoid a stop that would be devastating and to make the contribution of the motorsport world to the containment of the pandemic.

For the record, in mini we register the new entry of Pietro Esposito (CRG) that since the first jokes has given the impression of being able to compete with weapons equal to the opponents. Balance and tangible and postpones to next new challenges: Esposito scores the best time in qualifying, Gabriele Giannatiempo (Charles Leclerc) wins Race1 and keeps the head of the overall ranking and Sebastian G. Procida (EvoKart) wins Gara2.

In Junior wins again Vincenzo Spina up BirelArt consolidating his primacy in general.

The Max., once again, after the beautiful race of Battipaglia, proposes the duel between Sessa and German. In qualifying Daniele Sessa (Tony) has a point that allows it, deservedly, to conquer the second consecutive pole but in race 1 the rain surprises the drivers who are forced to continue with not a few difficulties until the end of the test with slik tires. She has the best Kevin German (KR) that with determination commits Sessa until the latter makes a mistake that will no longer allow him to prevent the tread. In race 2 Sessa returns and be fighting and on dry track hires another duel with Kevin lasted almost the entire race and wins consolidating the top of the ranking. Third place Giuseppe Luongo on Parolin.

DD still on the shields. Also here we record the new entry of two pilots in the masters Andrea Scafuro (Scoco Corse) and Sandro Murano both on BirelArt, but also some absence. But this did not prevent participants from finding stimuli to give the maximum and to put on track high technical and competitive competitions. In Masters the duel between Marco Valestra and Gregorio Rago. The latter marks a good chrono in qualifying that seems to pave the way but so it is not: in race1, after a beautiful and prolonged duel between both drivers of Laudato Racing, Valestra has the best on a Rago that appears fatigued, third place Cioffi. In race2 on track not yet completely dry all riders opt for slick rubber, correct choice but that still creates not few seal problems. Rago immediately shows that he is more comfortable in these slippery track conditions and immediately gains his position on his opponent, from here an infinite sequence gets surprised and countersorpasses, crosses of trajectories and detached to the limit, but in the end wins Rago followed by Valestra and Scafuro who in the last two laps also tries to enter the fight by conquering the second position and keeping it for a while.

Francesco Palladino on Charles Leclerc competes to himself: weekend planned to retouch the category record already signed last year. On Sunday morning he qualified to score a 51,692 which cancels 52,093. Four tenths less that give the sense of a serious and hard work. In the race, together with the Masters soon takes an advantage that allows him to keep a safe step to reach the finish line in the head.

In Gentleman win Bruno Rega that consolidates the leadership of Category.
