3rd consecutive Italian title for Collina – Report

Schumacher’s Mattia Collina has secured his third consecutive Italian National crown in the premier Modified Touring Car class.  ‘Le Caselle’ track in Arezzo hosted the 2026 Italian RC Touring Car Championship, the pinnacle event of the national season held under the sanction of ACI Sport, the Italian Motorsport Federation.  The three-day competition brought together the country’s top drivers to challenge for four official national titles, combining high-speed action, technical precision, and relentless consistency.  Making Collina victory this year even more significant, his brother Federico Collina finished second to seal a 1-2 at the top of the podium.  The Xray of Orlando Fenili completed the top three ahead of Infinity’s Alessio Menicucci and Federico Randi.  The remaining classes delivered equally compelling storylines. In Touring Stock, Luigi Ciavolino put an end to years of near-misses, claiming a deeply emotional first Italian title ahead of Flavio Paladin and Andrea Efficace.  The LM +40 Masters category saw Alessandro Rampini complete a brilliant championship hat-trick, taking his third straight title in an increasingly competitive field ahead of Andrea Giusti and Alessandro Vanni. Meanwhile, Luca Tramelli captured the FWD national title, sharing the podium with runner-up Simone De Lorenzo and young talent Leo Marka in third.  Beyond the senior honours, the weekend put a strong focus on the future of the sport.  Supported by ACI Arezzo, ten Under-16 drivers were awarded the “Young Prospects” distinction, celebrating the dedication of the rising generation and the essential support of their families in advancing Italian RC motorsport.
