The second round of the 2021 Italian Championship dedicated to 12th scale classes took place this weekend on the new indoor track of RMT Torino close to Turin. Despite the epidemiological situation developing very favourably in the last few weeks in Italy, the race was still held under the official safety protocols that ACI Sport (the Italian Federation of RC Cars) has agreed with National Authorities.

In GT12, which in Italy is traditionally run according to the popular BRCA/EFRA rules, Guido Carbognani repeated his impressive performance that saw him win Round 1 last month, and took another dominant win that allows him to stretch his lead in the Championship. The heated battle for second place saw Alessandro Giubbilei take second ahead of Alberto Montecchi.

In LMP Modified, run according to EFRA rules (6.5T and Blinky), Giorgio Lockmer showed impressive pace throughout the day and, after taking TQ in the morning’s qualifiers, showed some faultless driving in both A1 and A2 to take home the win. Local fast drivers Marco Di Vincenzo and Victor Coggiola both drove solid runs to finish second and third.

The Championship will now move to Bolzano where the third and penultimate round will be held on August 29th.
