Mazzeo wins 1:8 GT Confederation Cup

Alessio Mazzeo got his arrival at Capricorn for the 2023 season off to a winning start with victory at the 1:8 GT Confederation Cup held at Miniautodromo Vallelunga just north of Rome.  A track located at the full size Vallelunga Race Circuit, the former 1:10 Onroad Nitro World Championship podium finisher found himself with extra baggage for the flight home after he completed a clean sweep of the event securing the TQ and win with his Max engines powered GT2 chassis.  Pushing Mazzeo throughout the 30-minute final, the Genius GTc8.23 of Alex D’Angelo would finish just 2.3-seconds behind.  Xray’s Natanaele Senesi completed the GT Nitro podium adding to his TQ & win in the GTE class.  2023 is a big year for 1:8 GT with only the second ever running of an IFMAR World Championship for the category taking place in Sydney, Australia, in October.
