BF Motorsport’s Jacopo Guidetti and Sirio Motorsport’s Alessio Caiola shared victories in the fifth and sixth rounds of the Coppa Italia Turismo that took place at Imola.
The young Guidetti, who has already showed his skills in his TCR Italy rookie season, won the first race on the wet track at the wheel of his Audi RS 3 LMS. During the first laps, Alessio Caiola, who had started from pole position, had a close fight for the lead with Mauro Guastamacchia’s Honda Civic, until the latter spun off in the gravel. After a couple of safety car periods, Guidetti overtook Caiola and flew to take the win.
Caiola made up in Race 2, that he led from the green light to the chequered flag. Behind him there was a close battle for the other podium places and eventually Guidetti’s co-driver Edoardo Barbolini finished second, followed by Daniele Cappellari.
The series’ next event will be at Monza on June 15/16.
