Balestri leads Infinity 1-2 at Italian Nationals

Dario Balestri led an Infinity 1-2 at the AMSCI 1:8 Onroad Italian National Championship, heading home Thomas Lorenzi by half a lap of the Pista di Leno track.  While rain would effect qualifying, it was the World Champion who took his Max Power engined IF18 to the TQ ahead of the Capricorn of Mirko Salemi.  With Carmine Raiola and Luca Romagnoli third & fourth, Lorenzi would line up P5.  In the 30-minute final, while Balestri lead the entire race, Lorenzi worked his way through to second  just before the half way distance.  Despite setting the fastest lap of the race, Raiola would miss out on the podium with the 3rd step going to Salemi.  In the Sport category, Mattia Perego also made it an Infinity 1-2 winning ahead of Cristian Boni with the Mugen Seiki of Alessio Forgnoli completing the Top 3.
