XRAY T4 Uisp Italian National Outdoor Champion
By Alessio Menicucci

UISP Italian National Outdoor took place last week end in San Lazzaro di Savena at Ca’ de Mandorli track. Weather was not the best, making the eventful race between qualifications in dry and wet conditions.

13.5 Blinky:

In Stock Class many drivers were fast enough to fight to be TQ but it was Berselli to start from 1st position followed by Alessio Tolomelli and Davide Bertuzzi (XRAY). In the main Final was also Roberto Fabiano driving XRAY. Andrea Valerio and Nicola Fornasari were absolutely unlucky in qualifications and they drove the B Final. Davide Bertuzzi was fast and it allowed him to fight with the others for first positions but both some mistakes and some crashes don’t allowed him to be on the podium so he arrived 4th. Roberto Fabiano showed a clean drive and it paid off because he arrived 5th starting from 7th position on the grid.
