- 2002 CIK-FIA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP FA-ICC-SICC - LAUDATO
IS THE EUROPEAN CHAMPION
Francesco Laudato attained in Mariembourg the European
title of the class 125 Super Icc. The couple Birel - Tm
is successful once again during the top competition of
the 125 category. Birel drivers stand out even in the
Icc category: Dirks is the winner and Viani comes in second.
In Fa the driver Hemkemeyer attains unexpectedly the title.
The rain fallen on Sunday characterised the last competition
of the European championship of 125 Icc, 125 Super Icc
and 100 Fa classes. So the results obtained on the racing
track were heavily modified by the tyre performance. The
rain covers used in Belgium by Bridgestone proved much
more effective if compared with Vega's, determining an
unexpected result in the Fa class. Even sidesteps proved
essential to the award of the three titles and in particular
they allowed Francesco Laudato to attain the second continental
title of his carreer.

After the qualifying round Francesco Laudato comes
in only 11th following two unsuccessful rounds due
to his little effective starts and to one stop imposed
by the officials because of the detaching of the
front nose. Elkmann attains the pole position for
the final, heading Laurent Groppi who places himself
in the first row dominated by Birel drivers. Piccini
sprints from the second row, Forè places
himself in the 7th position and Cesetti in the 9th.
When the race starts the racing track is wet and,
after the first part of the race with Elkmann, Groppi
and Piccini heading the group, both Cesetti and
Laudato recover attaining the first positions. The
Tony Kart driver Ammermuller runs a good race too:
at the finishing line he places himself in the second
position, headed by the good winner Cesetti and
in turn he also heads Laudato, who comes in third.
Groppi places himself in the 4th position, while
Piccini comes in fifth, having a wide gap.

When the race starts Palmieri sprints before time
from the central group, attaining the second position.
Laudato does not start very well and he is forced
to chase the others. On the wet racing track Cesetti
is invincible once again, and Forè and
Groppi make a good performance too. At the finishing
line Cesetti comes in first, while Palmieri attains
the second position, with an over 2" lead.
Laudato comes in third and the winner outdistances
him with 11". But the race management rightly
imposed a10" penalty on Palmieri due to his
early start and Laudato, thanks to his second
position, becomes the European Champion of the
Super Icc class in 2002. At the end of the championship
Cesetti scores the same points as the driver from
Cava dei Tirreni, but due to worse partial placings
he comes in second. Laurent Groppi attains the
fourth position, while Forè comes in fifth,
heading Piccini.
