Ielasi & Mazzeo win at EFRA GP Series opener

Daniele Ielasi took the win at the first round of the EFRA GP Series in what was a surprising twist of events, the former 1/10 200mm World Champion producing an excellent performance and his package proving to be tough and consistent in a final that saw a lot of drama. The main kicked off with Simon Kurzbuch starting well from pole and never letting anyone come near to his lead, and despite a charging Balestri trying hard to keep his Infinity in contact with the Shepherd, the Swiss managed to open a gap. Behind them it would be Collari, Picco and Ielasi swapping positions with the latter settling into 3rd, Picco 4th and Collari dropped down to 8th with a broken glow plug. Right after the 25 minutes mark Balestri would crash his Infinity into the barriers entering the straight, the heavy contact leaving the Italian with a broken rear left wishbone and promoting the fighting duo of Ielasi and Picco into podium positions, with Vrijelink now 4th.
