GARA CRONACA
Pole position of the Mini Rotax under wet track conditions for Paolo De Grandi (Krono), which is followed close by Gabriele Giribaldi and Brando Badoni (Irt Engines). Race-1 that proceeds relatively quietly, with De Grandi who leads the race to the head from the street until under the chess flag, with Badoni who manages to overcome Giribaldi, but will never be able to take with decision the leadership of De Grandi, who then wins in front of Badoni and a reassembly Matteo Natino (MKC), who departs from the P7, manages to take the podium siglando also. Very rich in emotions instead of race-2, where to reset a great start is Leo Gonzalez, who leads to the race, followed by De Grandi and Natino. The latter will be able to take the lead on the sixth lap, while the poleman De Grandi, after losing positions in the wild pile of the first laps, manages to pass both Lilli and Badoni to take third position. Shortly after these two pilots come into contact in a close side-by-side (too much) in curve 3, and both must leave the lead group, with Giribaldi taking advantage of it to take the third place. Natino tries to give the decisive boar to the race, also accomplice the fight between Gonzalez and De Grandi. At the last turn De Grandi climbs inside to take the second place, with Giribaldi trying to fit in but comes in contact with Gonzalez: the two come in contact and is therefore a coriaceo Giovanni Pistore (Drake Motorsport) to win the third position of the podium.
The Rotax Junior once again proposes the duel between the leader of the Kiko Fracassi classification (Infinity) and the winner of Pomposa Elia Pappacena (MKC), but this time in a frame of 16 drivers. In race-1 the poleman Pappacena is surprised by Fracassi during the first round, while behind them Matteo Montrone (Irt) manages to pass Giacomo Galesso (54SC) to take the third place. At the end of the sixth lap comes the overtaking of Pappacena on Fracassi: the two come in contact in curve-1 and is the Helvetic driver to take the first position. On the next round we witness a further exchange of courtesans between the two, but then it is Pappacena to take the reins of the race to stretch slightly on the opponent until the chess flag. Third, but not too distant, Montrone concludes, while after a hard battle and with repeated exchanges of position, the fourth place is for Giulia Bernardi (Krono Racing), at its best seasonal position, in front of Lorenzo Giaquinto (LKA Racing Team). Much more extended instead of race-2, where Pappacena stretches immediately, accomplice also the bad start of Fracassi, which parades only fourth they also make up 10’’’ penalty for lack of alignment to the street. This penalty will deprive Fracassi of the second place, instead decided in a fight at the last blow between Montrone, Giaquinto and Trobec. At the last lap Giaquinto manages to pass Montrone, which however hangs it in curve-1 and with Trobec trying to fit into the gap left open from the atathein: the two come in contact and are forced to surrender, leaving the third gram

In the second row part Ennio Sessa (KCS) sided with the other Helvetic Michael Hitchcoock. The dominator of the first two tests, Leonardo Baccaglini (Ktre) takes only eighth, but at the turn of the traffic lights are very clear his intentions to take back the leadership of the category: 7 laps are enough to take himself to the head of the race and then lead the race to the finish line. Trolese and Sessa are dueling instead for the second position, until Trolese manages to take a slight margin that allows him to secure the square of honor. March triumphs also in race-2 for Baccaglini, who has paved road from the first lap, when a multiple accident behind him puts in the rearroads first Trolese and Fardin, then Sessa and Felappi .

Baccaglini first cuts the finish line, followed by Loaker and Palladino.
