100 ICA -JUNIOR


The Birel driver Erik Janis is the European Champion in office to be beaten. Among the favourites there are also Nico Hulkenberg, leader of the Open Masters Championship, Marco Mapelli, Matteo Chinosi and David Rotar. But from the qualifying round Filippo Tedeschini has been the real surprise during this week end in the Marches. The driver of the Birel Motorsport team qualifies for the first position during the Sunday final race with Hulkenberg, driver of the Crg team. The race starts when the racing track is still wet and Hulkenberg, who is leading, precedes Tedeschini, Janis, Erba and Mapelli. But bad luck stops Andrea Todisco. The very young driver of Latium, departing seventh from the starting line, has to join the rear of the group because of a carburettor problem. After the first lap Tedeschini is leading, outstripping Hulkenberg, and getting gradually a significant lead over competitors. But the race in Corridonia is not short of surprises and it rains again before the end of the competition. And when drivers are on the third last lap and the racing track is still wet, Todeschini, after the first sharp turn, is outstripped again by Hulkenberg who comes in first. However the Birel driver attains a very good second position, preceding the very capable driver Erik Janis, Mancinelli, Di Sabatino and Chinosi. And also the fastest lap of the competition is attained by the Birel driver Janis, with a very good time of 43'' 317, while Marco Mapelli comes in eighth.

  100 ICA

During the final competition the driver Comer Ricci starts his race from the pole position, but the Birel driver Michele Fanetti, who started second, comes in first. Behind them, Ricci, the good local driver Pizzuti, D'Antuono, Albertini, Jamrozinski and Cinti are involved in a scrimmage. There are no doubts on the leadership of Fanetti followed by Albertini, Tsampras, Ricci and Pizzuti trying to compete for the podium. Fanetti crosses the finishing line first, preceding the English driver Tsampras of the Kosmic team, and another Birel driver, the South African Armani Jamrozinski, steps on again to the podium, attaining the third position. Marco Pizzuti could virtually aspire to a position on the all Birel podium, but during final laps he has to renounce coming in sixth. Albertini and Ricci come in respectively fourth and fifth while Mortara, crossing the finishing line ninth, attains the fastest lap of the competition.
