In the A-main it was Xray’s Mario Spiniello who took the win following a strategic race that saw a conservative first half of the race of Mario, but he would up his pace after a mid-race tyre stop, which allowed him to put pressure on Francesco Tironi (Infinity). Later Mario was able to take the lead, after a hard fought battle with Francesco, that Mario would extend to eleven seconds to take the lead from Tironi 2nd and Mugen’s Massimiliano Pau in 3rd. Overall in the championship it was Tironi with the win in front of Spiniello in 2nd as Occhipinti rounded out the top 3.
