Race report by Alexander Hagberg

The XRS Italy event was held on the weekend of September 12-13 at the marvelous facilities of Club Automodellistico 5 Colli in Gubbio, Perugia. The race saw 110 entries in 6 different categories!

In the TC Modified class, it was the current World Champion Bruno Coelho who lead the way, in front of myself, and Alessio Menicucci. We would finish in the same order after the triple A-finals, but Alessio Mancini moved up to 3rd, and snatched a podium spot from his team mate! The modified class was a blast to watch, with the cars reaching 125 km/h on the long Gubbio straight! XRAY had 8 out of 10 cars in the A-main final, with the T4’20 proving to be a really popular choice!

The 1/10 TC stock category was a close affair. Nico Catelani took the TQ spot, but he had to work hard to keep a hard charging Alexandre Duchet behind him in the finals!

In the the 1/10 nitro class, a lot of drama unfolded already from the start of the race. The pole sitter, Alessio Agostinelli flamed out on the starting line.
