TCR Italy's third event is staged this weekend at Imola, where a four-way fight is expected between Enrico Bettera, Marco Pellegrini, Matteo Greco and the defending champion Salvatore Tavano.
Bettera and his Pit Lane Competizioni Audi RS 3 LMS lead the standings by two points only over Target Competition's Marco Pellegrini who has won the first race in the previous event at Misano in his Hyundai i30 N.
Scuderia del Girasole teammates Greco - who scored his maiden win in Misano's Race 2 - and Tavano in their CUPRA cars are placed third and fourth with gaps of 9 and 13 points respectively.
Another driver who holds all the cards to go for a win is PRS Motorsport's Massimiliano Mugelli, as his Romeo Ferraris-built Alfa Romeo Giulietta has always been fast at Imola.
The two races will start Saturday at 16:15 local time and Sunday at 14:50 local time (CET); live streaming at www.tcr-series.com and www.tcr-series.tv
