Daniele Ielasi wins Winter Trophy in Lucca

Daniele Ielasi has won the “Classic” edition of the Winter Trophy in Lucca, Toscana. It was the first race in Europe for the former World Champion with the Velox V10 for more than one year. With Dario Balestri another international top driver was attending and both worked hard for the victory with a small advantage on Balestri’s side as Lucca is his home track. In qualifying Ielasi was placed second behind Balestri but the fastest laps were nearly on the same level. At the start of the final both pulled away and stayed within 2 seconds for the next 10 minutes. After the second pit stop Balestri was hit by technical problems and the way was free for an easy victory for Ielasi.
