- QUINTARELLI LONE LEADER OF THE DRIVER RESULTS LIST ONCE
AGAIN
In race 1 Ardigò experiences some set-up problems
and, after having attained two successful rounds out of
three, unfortunately he can not do the same during the
final. At the finishing line he places himself in the
third position, headed by Foré, who is in top form,
and by Carlo Van Dam attaining the fastest lap as well.
Quintarelli, headed by his rival driver Van der Garde,
experiences some problems due to the wet racing track
as well. Laurent Groppi, who ran a good race on the home
racing track, places himself in the 6th position. Manetti,
Ammermuller, Cesetti and Burton place themselves among
the top ten drivers at the end of the race. Gianluca Beggio
and Marco Asmer, who do not finish their race, are not
among top drivers.

At the beginning of the second competition the racing
track is still wet, but it does not rain any longer. However
all drivers start the race using rain tyres. Ardigò
leads the competition, while Quintarelli is almost hit
by Manetti, taking the first bend at high speed from behind
the lines and so he has to follow an outer route loosing
many positions. After the first lap he places himself
in the tenth position and straightaway he starts making
up ground in order to reach a top position, constantly
attaining fastest times compared to the leading drivers.
In the meantime Ardigò leads the race, heading
Forè and Van der Garde. Quintarelli succeeds in
coming close to the leading drivers, while the French
driver Groppi, who attained a very good sixth position,
has to leave the race because of a break in the chain.
When there are still six laps to go to the end of the
race, Marco Ardigò is dogged by misfortune and
the engine breaks down. So Forè leads the competition,
but he is tailed by Quintarelli: the latter outstrips
Van der Garde and when there are still five laps to go
to the end of the race he succeeds in outstripping him
too. So the Birel driver from Veneto attains his third
seasonal success. Forè comes in second, heading
Van der Garde and Van Dam. Cesetti places himself in the
5th position, heading in his turn Bakker and Niogret.
Quintarelli attains a seven points lead over Van der Garde
and they could prove to be decisive during the two final
competitions in Muro Leccese. The Birel team is still
leading the manufacturer result list as well.
