Accompanying this event was a beautiful sun but also high temperatures in the air and on asphalt, making it difficult to find the right car set-up without damaging the electronics. After three qualification rounds, Flavio Buzi was TQ in Stock class followed by Mauro Fabiani and Alessandro Damiani. In 13.5T class, Alessio Valentini was very fast and consistent and he was able to take TQ ahead of Maurizio Bicchi and Valter Cola. In Foam class, Massimo Fabiani was the leader, Daniele Negretti was 2nd and Pierluigi Calcatelli was 3rd . In Modified class, Alessio Menicucci was TQ ahead Massimo Fabiani and Simone Dâ™Ottavio. In the finals, every driver fought against the pollen, which arrived on the track because of the wind, but this created exciting duels until the last lap.
