2004 MANUFACTURERS’ CUP - SARNO (FEBRUARY 1ST, 2004)

ALSO THE 2004 EDITION IS LABELLED BIREL
THANKS TO THE SUCCESSES OBTAINED BY COLETTI (100/JUNIOR), MUSTONEN (100 ICA) AND LAUDATO (125 ICC) BIREL REPEATS THE TRIUMPH OF THE PAST YEAR.


The Manufacturers’ Cup, that is the International Trophy starting the agonistic season on the racing-track of Sarno, belongs always to Birel. As last year the Lissone based company obtains 3 successes out of 4 admitted categories. Birel drivers only miss the FA category, in which Valentino Sebastiani beats his opponents. Stefano Coletti, revelation driver in the 100 Junior during the second half of the 2003 season, wins the Final, after gaining his pole position and one success in the qualifying rounds. Coletti precedes Eng (Top/Comer) and Bortolotti (Birel/TM), while the Spanish driver Algersuari (Birel/TM) comes in 4th, just within an ace of the podium. In the 100 ICA the Junior European Champion Risitano attains his pole position and for the driver from Frosinone this is the best possible debut he can make in the 100 ICA, as in 2004 he will compete in this category for Birel team. But during qualifying rounds another Birel driver emerges: Atte Mustonen.

   
 

Atte Mustonen
 


With Waldschmidt, Todisco and Annunziata they will be the protagonists of a very spectacular Final. Walschmidt is the first driver to cross the chequered flag, but after a check he will be excluded for underweight problems. So the winner is the good Finnish driver Mustonen who precedes Annunziata and Risitano. Sauro Cesetti, whose debut with Birel is eagerly awaited in FA, shows immediately his good feeling with this new team in the qualifying rounds already. Also during the rounds Cesetti is always placed with the first 3 drivers and a good result is expected for the Final. But unfortunately his race is over only after 5 laps and so the Sebastiani brothers, Nyman, Teemu and Michele Fanetti are the only drivers competing for the title. Valentino Sebastiani, supported by his brother (who will be excluded from the race just for this reason) attains a slight lead during the first phases of the race and the followers have only to be satisfied with the remaining positions. Nyman will attain the 2° position, preceding De Brujin and Fanetti. The multi-titled driver Laudato is familiar with the 125 Icc category and he doesn’t miss the success. Sferrella keeps close behind him, attaining the second position, while Kievstbosch comes in 3°. At the end of the month, with the first race of the Italian Open Championship, all drivers will have to confirm once again their talent and the long 2004 season will get to the heart of the competition.
