Round 2 of the Italian Nationals was hosted at the fast track of Montecchio Maggione on July 13, 2008. There weren't as many drivers compared to round 1, but all the best were there to fight for the championship title of 2008. Qualifing heats on Saturday showed that the XRAY NT1 cars were really working great on the track.

At the start, Guido Barbera and De Felici were setting the pace, while young driver De Pasquale had a bad start but got up into 3rd place. Barbera was showing his usual smooth driving style which gave him really low tyre wear. De Felici had to stop for a fast change but this cost to him the podium. Barbera won the final by over 2 laps on De Pasquale (XRAY NT1, Max, Matrix) and Giovanni Crea (XRAY NT1, Nova, xceed)
