On Sunday June 1st the XRAY GP took place at the Gimar Speed Park in Lazzaro in south Italy. Almost 60 drivers participated in this event, divided into various classes: Modified Electric, 1:8 Nitro, 1:10 Nitro and 1:5 Nitro. We were there from Saturday morning for free practice and the track had a good traction right from the start thanks to the sugar water on the asphalt.

Modified Class Electric:
In the finals I made only minor changes on my carâ™s setup and it was as fast as in the qualifications so I won every final. After a tight fight Hudy took the 2nd place and Brunelli was 3rd .

Finals 1:10 Nitro:
This class showed more exciting fights than the other classes. Spataro was leading from the start to the last two laps when a mechanical problem forced him to leave the first position to Mario Spiniello who was driving a very consistent final. Also other fast drivers like Alessio Mazzeo and Salvatore Giliberto had mechanical problems at the start.
