Tortorici takes Q3 in Italy

Davide Tortorici has TQ’d the penultimate round of qualifying here at the Arena Offroad Meeting with a 7 lap run in 5:21.145. Having sent out a warning shot in Q2 when he took his Crono RS7 to the third fastest, the Italian improved on that time by almost three seconds to top Q3 from Austrian Kyosho driver Martin Karner and the Mugen of former World Championship finalist Matteo Dapporto. Tortorici was helped somewhat by a poor round for the all conquering Losi team with Yannick Aigoin managing only 7th, after a bad choice of set-up & tyres with Martin Bayer one place behind him. Bayer, who again set the fastest lap for the round with a 43.361, said his run was simply down to bad driving on his behalf.
