1 day ago
Scuderia del Girasole driver Salvatore Tavano made the most of a race with three safety car interventions to claim his second victory of the season opener at Monza at the wheel of his Cupra Leon Competición.
Sunny skies and a dry track welcomed the TCR Italy field for Sunday’s Race 2, with ALM Motorsport’s Mattias Vahtel, at the wheel of a Honda Civic Type-R TCR, on the reversed grid pole position.
At the start Vathel kept the lead, with Jonathan Giacon, driving a Honda Civic Type-R TCR from Tecnodom Sport, and Antti Buri, with a Hyundai i30 N TCR from Target Competition, coming side-by-side at Turn 1, with the Finn going straight but not giving up attacking the leader at La Roggia.
