Race report by Guido Barbera
The second race of the Championship Italian Touring 1/10 was held this year at the Messina Messina which hosted the World Cup 1/8. The organization and direction of the race is always very efficient thanks to the cooperation and supervision of AMSCI ( Italian Federation). The many participants − approximately 100 − were divided into three categories: F1-F2- EXPERT. The race was held over three days: first qualifying on Saturday morning, semi-final and final on Sunday.
The sunny weather had almost summer-like temperatures.

Category F2: 51 drivers on track
At the end of qualifications and final direct for
1. Corrao Salvatore XRAY NT1
2. Culoma Claudio
3. Verbicaro Biagio XRAY NT1
4. Licciardello Simone

Category F1: 27 drivers on track
At the end of qualifications and final direct for
1. Zagni Marco XRAY NT1
2. Stefanizzi Davide
3. Musolino Giuseppe
4. Ciro Borrelli XRAY NT1

Category EXPERT: only 16 drivers, almost all the drivers − despite the use of the airbox − have approached the previous track record. This testifies to the high level. After the qualifications, two XRAYs were in the final directly:
1. Spataro Biagio XRAY NT1
2. D’Angelo Giuseppe
3. Tironi Francesco
4. Giacalone Dino XRAY NT1

Semifinal EXPERT 30 minutes
Semifinal B: 1st Ielasi Daniele 109 laps , 2nd Giletti Raimondo 108 laps, 3rd Martini Francasco 108 laps (XRAY)
Semifinal A: 1st Gentile Umberto 107 laps, 2nd De Felici Giorgio 107 laps (XRAY) , 3rd Duina Niki 107 laps.

It was an unfortunate race for Barbera Guido (XRAY), leading to the 20th minute with a 2-lap advantage, forced to pit for 2 minutes to lose Seger's rear axle transmission.
