The final round of the Italian 200mm nationals took place at the tight and twisty track in Palermo, Sicily.

Sunday’s final though saw Alessio leading the race from start to finish and even an additional stop to change all four tyres did not stop him on his way to the overall title win.

Brooks & Clinch win BRCA on-road Clubman Rd4
