Martin Hudy wins Automodelli Race in Italy

The Automodelli Race was held on a large and fast asphalt track near Milan, Italy with around 100 drivers attending in four classes. The Touring Car Modified class saw the attendance of Xray’s Martin Hudy who ran some indoor carpet tests in Scandiano before and who took the opportunity to race at this club meeting. The schedule saw three qualifying rounds with the best one to count and Martin already took TQ with his first run while in the Stock class Marco Puleo (Xray) put his car on pole position. In the Modified class finals Martin made a clean sweep and took three out of the three legs. He was chased by Andrea Simari though who was able to put serious pressure on him especially in the beginning of each of the finals due to a clever tyre additive choice. Xray’s Francesco Martini finished 3rd coming from the 5th position on the grid. In the Stock class the race was among three drivers, Marco Puleo, Nico Catelani and Umberto Pernice. TQ driver Marco made a mistake in the first final that was won by Nico and Marco also had issues in the last final allowing Umberto to win. At the end Marco and Nico were tie on points but Nico had faster final run handing him the win in front of Marco and Umberto.
