The annual Endas Italian Championship took place last weekend at Segrates circuit near Milan. Under the supervision of Mr. Spatuzzi, Mr. Magni, Mr. Taccani and Mr. Colombo it was one of the best organised and presented Endas race in recent years. Qualifying for the modified class went the way of Andrea Simari, with Andrea Nerone in 2nd and Luca Radaelli in 3rd, while in the 10.5T stock class, after a hard fight Giorgio Montagna took the TQ spot followed by Marco Puleo in 2nd position and Luigi Viola in 3rd. Weather conditions were very hot due to a strong sun during the day and the asphalt temperature reached 56°C with an air temperature close to 35 degrees making it very critical for some ESC and motors. After some strong performances in the main finals, first place in the modified class went to Andrea Nerone with Luca Radaelli in 2nd and Max Micheli in 3rd. In the stock class (above) the win was taken by GP Batteries and Matrix driver Marco Puleo, with Tony Simari in 2nd place and Ruggero Zanusso in 3rd spot. GP Batteries and Matrix tyres supported the event with GP Batteries offering anyone the opportunity to try the company’s new GP4300 and GP5300 LiPo.
