AMCSCI Italian outdoor nationals – Report

This year’s AMSCI Italian outdoor nationals were held at the Rme L. Collari track in Cassino with more than 50 drivers attending in the Touring Car Modified and 13.5T Blinky classes. The weather conditions on Saturday proved to be very difficult and this affected the qualifiers at first but on a drying track Antonio Di Prisco took the TQ in the Modified class ahead of Nicola Marrone and Alessandro Brunelli. In the Stock class Mattia Collina grabbed the TQ spot from Valter Cola while Marco Puelo completed the top 3 result.

The three Modified class finals all saw different race winners with Nicola Marrone taking the opening leg from Brunelli and Pignotti. A2 had Alession Menicucci grabbing the win after a hard chase from 7th place and due to a penalty for Marrone, Alessandro Brunelli won the final leg with Nicola and Alessio in 2nd and 3rd respectively. The final result had Nicola Marrone (Yokomo) taking the win from the Xray duo of Alessandro Brunelli and Alession Menicuccu.
