EASYKART 100: DOMINIC SCHEER AHEAD
OF THE ITALIAN MONTORO
THE AMERICAN WINS THE INTERNATIONAL TITLE. THE ITALIAN,
SECOND IN THE INTERNATIONAL RANKING, WINS THE ITALIAN TITLE
IN FRONT OF ZANCHETTA.
The
Italian Marco Zanchetta, sprinted ahead from the pole position
ranking before the American Scheer, Montoro, the American
Péna, Christian Fossati and the Colombian Jacobo.
Due to a not so perfect alignment at the start line, Scheer
suprised Zanchetta and took the lead. Péna drove
by at 3rd in front of Fossati, Montoro, Jacobo, Valori and
Lopez. A hook-up in the centre of the group involved various
drivers among whom the American Champion Paul Harraka who
was forced to withdraw. At the 3rd lap, Zanchetta successfully
attacked Scheer and brought himself in the lead. Fossati,
who in the meantime had overcome Péna, also tried
to get into the heart of the race, but his chain fell off
after a hook-up with Scheer. It took the FM driver three
laps before getting back into the race, meaning the loss
of one of the best participants in the race. The lead was
made of the trio, with Scheer managing once again to overtake
Zanchetta and Montoro and meet up with the leader duo. Further
back, Péna made his mark by preceding Lopez, Zonzini
and Guffanti. At the 10th lap, a technical problem excluded
the Ecuadorian driver Freire and the Colombian Jacobo. The
current National Champion Ronnie Valori and Giacomelli,
who were running an excellent race right behind the leaders,
were also forced to withdraw at this stage. At the 10th
lap, Francesca Linossi slewed around forcing Barri onto
the lawn, but both were able to continue the race afterwards.
At the 11th lap, Montoro overtook Zanchetta and 4 laps later
the AV Racing driver managed to bring himself at the head
by overcoming Scheer as well. But the American answered
right back to this attack and immediately regained the lead
with a resolute overtaking manoeuvre at the end of the start
straight. At this point, Zanchetta lost some ground to the
two leaders, but kept his distance from Péna. At
the 20th lap Scheer had 1” lead on Montoro, 4”
on Zanchetta and 8” on Péna. Behind him, Lopez
was in front of Zonzini, Guffanti, Barri, Angonoa, Gambini
and Francesca Linossi that was experiencing her personal
battle with opponent-friend Sabina Raviglione. By the last
laps, Scheer was able to control Montoro and cut the finishing
line 1st , becoming the International Champion. Davide Montoro
was second in the International ranking, but also attained
the Italian National Title in front of Zanchetta. For the
Team AV Racing driver there was the added satisfaction of
having completed the fastest lap in the race. Sergio Péna
won 4th place overall in front of Lopez, while Nicola Zonzini
was an overall 6th and 3rd in the National Italian ranking.
Giacomo Guffanti finished the race with an excellent 7th
place, right in front of Barri, Angonoa and Gambini. Francesca
Linossi struggled in an "all-ladies” battle with
Sabina Raviglione attaining the 11th place overall and the
8th place in the National Italian ranking. Mattia Ferri
was 10th in the Italian National ranking in front of Pedrotti,
Valentini and the unlucky Christian Fossati. The Colombian
Martin Sala, instead attained 14th place because he was
slowed down by rib pain.
