02/01-02/2003 - CONSTRUCTORS' CUP - THE BIREL TEAM WINS IN SARNO,

The Birel Motorsport Team, attains the first international competition of the season on the racing track of Sarno, winning three admitted categories out of four.

On February 2nd, on Sunday last, the first important competition of the season was run on the racing track of Sarno: the Manufacturers’ Cup. The competition was disputed according to the International Regulation and over 150 drivers coming from about 10 different countries attended the race. But, according to the organizers’ will, Manufacturers were the true protagonists of this event, which competed for the Trophy under the placings obtained in the 4 admitted categories (Ica/Junior, Ica, Fa and Icc). All manufacturers, with the only exception of the Tony Kart team, took part to the competition aiming at trying materials selected for the year 2003 and at the same time at putting new drivers to the test..

  And the Birel colours prevailed definitely over the others, attaining 3 wins in 4 Finals. The Birel team, which missed only the category 100 Ica/Junior, prevailed in the 100 Ica thanks to Andrea Todisco, while Salvatore Gatto and Francesco Laudato were respectively successful in the 100 Fa and in the 125 Icc categories. The young driver Risitano made his debut very well in the Birel Motorsport team but unluckily during the Final, when he was among the leading drivers, he was stopped by the Race Direction because of the detachment of a part of his rear bumper and so Andrea Buemi, the European Champion in office, attained the first position. The frames adopted by all Birel drivers during this competition belonged to the latest homologation and they immediately proved their significant competitiveness.
