Xray Racing Series Alpe Adria Rd3 – Report
The third and final round of this year’s Xray Racing Series Alpe Adria was held at the Fener track in Italy. The finale attracted familiar and new faces with a couple of 1/5th scale regulars attending in the 1/8th class – making for some competitive racing. In the end it was local hero Mattia Collavo with the overall TQ in the premier 1/8th IC Track class, in front of large scale European champion B.A. Arnaldi and 1/8 EC-B finalist Nejc Mihelic.

The finals proved to be pretty exciting as some of the fast drivers suffered in qualifying and now focussed on the finals to gain some positions. In 1/8th IC Track the final was just incredible till the end since ten drivers were racing on the very technical track.

The 3rd place went to Francesco Mionetto.
