Spiniello wins Italian 200mm Nats finale

The final round of the Italian 1/10th 200mm Nationals was held at the Vallelunga track last weekend. In the A-main it was Xray’s Mario Spiniello who took the win following a strategic race that saw a conservative first half of the race of Mario, but he would up his pace after a mid-race tyre stop, which allowed him to put pressure on Francesco Tironi (Infinity). Later Mario was able to take the lead, after a hard fought battle with Francesco, that Mario would extend to eleven seconds to take the lead from Tironi 2nd and Mugen’s Massimiliano Pau in 3rd. Overall in the championship it was Tironi with the win in front of Spiniello in 2nd as Occhipinti rounded out the top 3.

Rohrmoser claims Austrian 1/10th 200mm title

The 4th and final round of the Austrian IC Track National Championship took place at the Sollenau track recently. Pre-event favourites were Franz Engel and Christoph Rohrmoser who both had chances to take the title but Engel had to win the race to claim the title. In qualifying Simon Ciudan claimed the pole position followed by Engel and Rohrmoser respectively. At the start of the final Engel was able to take over the lead and managed to increase the gap to one lap over the rest of the field. Mid-race he changed tyres and dropped behind Ciudan who opted to run on a single set of tyres. In the final stages Engel closed the gap step by step, but as the clock was ticking down he had to take a higher risk and made a mistake in the penultimate lap. Ciudan crossed the finishing line in 1st position followed by Rohrmoser and Engel in third. With this result Rohrmoser took the overall title in front of Engel and Kandelhart. Young Shepherd racer Simon Engel finished the final in 6th position which was enough to claim the National Junior title.
