TQ and victory for Francesco Tironi

"The first round of the Italian 1/10 nitro touring nationals took place the at the next 1/10 world championship venue in Gubbio. In qualifying the point system was used with the TQ going directly into the main final. Shepherd/Matrix driver Francesco Tironi managed to win the first two rounds of qualifying which was enough to claim the pole position for the 45min final.

At the start of the final the Velox V10 pilot was able to defend his first position from Dario Balestri in second and after the first round of pitstops he opened a gap of several seconds over the rest of the field. Step by step he increased his lead until he was nearly 2 laps in front midway. Controlling the race at the front for the final 20 minutes Francesco conserved the gap and crossed the finishing line two laps in front of Luca Redaelli with Alessio Mazzeo completing the podium. In the F1 class Shepherd pilot Massimo Balboni finished in second place starting from 4th position."

Rafa Gilabert gana la segunda carsol-e 2015

Rafa Gilabert volvió a ser el mas rápido ganando las tres finales y marcando la vuelta rápido. De momento no existe pelea por el primer puesto, pero si la hay y mucha por el resto del cajón. Martin Sevilla y Nacho Garcia tuvieron una lucha en centímetros en dos finales, donde incluso se tocaron pero ambos esperaron deportivamente al “rival”. Sveta Baldani se aprovecho de estos toques y logro meterse en la pelea. Al final, el segundo puesto fue para Baldani si bien el ordenador desempato entre los tres pilotos sumando las vueltas y tiempos de las dos finales de cada uno de ellos en lugar de comparar el vueltas y tiempo de la final con mejor posición, que es lo que marca AECAR. El resultado una vez aplicado el reglamento AECAR fue:

 

1.- Rafa Gilabert (2 ptos)

2.- Martin Sevilla (5 ptos)

3.- Nacho Garcia (5 ptos)
