VRM Team wins the championship with a sensational performance BIREL Business Series by tearing out the fingernails of a seasoned team and hypercompetitive "Kayak" getting Superpole victory in Race 1 and second place in race 2.
Practice
After the usual ritual operations (credit, pass distribution, construction and decoration kart box) starting at 10.00 free trials are not valid for the grid. The kart looks good and in fact we are now competitive, far less than a tenth from "Sorci Verdi" satellite crew of "Kayak" proved very competitive with the new Birel kart-Subaru. After the tests, however, we notice that the kart loses gasoline and we do not immediately repair to the risk of jeopardizing the strategies of supply. Optimism reigns in the box.
Superpole
Even in Jesolo as in Monza last June, is given by the pole lap (lap, lap, lap) to be run within 15 minutes of opening the lane box. David Montoro, who had already won the Superpole at Monza with excellent performance, is designed to try to get back in departure "Kayak" to earn a punticino and stretch the advantage to 10 lengths. David keeps the expectations by winning the pole position in 1.00.733, with as many as 2 / 10 ahead of the talented team of Alice Bordignon "Kayak," who was very expert and very competitive on the track at Jesolo. The prospects for the race are the best.
Race 1
Designated for departure is Michael Santolini that firmly holds the top spot until lap five when the team "Kayak" surpasses us. Start here in a struggle on the edge of thousandths. For nearly three hours the gap between the two kart was lower than the second. The race was tiratissima and around the paddock followed beating the competition. But 2HE 30 race we stop to refuel while our rivals are likely to get a 3-hour race without stopping. Then we go down in second place with about 20 seconds to recover. But a sensational final round of driving Santolini constantly gaining 1 second per lap on the "Kayak" which we believe Pick had problems because the gasoline tank was virtually empty, and the last lap passes with a delay of 5 / 10 . And so the third hairpin of the track in Jesolo launched his winning attack and so we win a race with only 9 / 10 ahead of Kayak, but with enough petrol to start from the grid, unlike rivals who pass the finish line only with gasoline in the carburetor.
The joy for this victory is huge. The advantage to "Kayak" rose to 15 points.
now just a third place to win the championship.
Race 2
The second round begins with the decision to "Kayak" to leave the pits with the full because they would not even finished the lap having little petrol left. So advantage from the situation, but the Bad luck on us: in fact, Marco Benetti, designated for the start in Game 2, the chain breaks down near the box, and so is forced to leave the spare car after the passage of large group along with "kayak", but had the advantage of not having to supply to the finish. So began a frantic comeback, and after about 1 hour and 30 race back in third place while marking up "Kayak" and forego the attack for the second place to avoid contact and possible sanctions by the race committee. The last round, having stocked, Montoro bypasses "Kayak" and leaps to second place overall behind only "Aurora Insurance". So we cut the line in second position and the festivities begin with flags and lap of honor in karts. Among other things, the friends of the team win the championship Beretta Business Series Business Class reserved for companies, so the joy is doubled and the party goes to the restaurant in the evening. Among others present were employees of the company "Tack System" from the stands that have supported us for all 6 hours of racing and were thrilled with our performance and endurance of the race sight.
Conclusion
Our vintage racing is almost over. The only thing missing in Rozzano Trophy Moroni on 8 December and then closed the year 2008, the year of debut that has already given us much satisfaction, and we'll start thinking about 2009, by loving confirm to the top of the already Italian endurance karting Birel 24 hours in Jesolo in March. We take this opportunity to once again thank Marcello Landolfo, owner of Tack System, for giving us the chance to take this important endurance championship, we thank the group that Beretta has shared his culinary treats with us, we thank the employees of Tack System for the fans and the affection shown to the team, we thank the staff box, and Luke in particular, showed off for its spectacular flag after winning the title. A short post photos of the event. I take this opportunity to congratulate also the team "Kayak", which proved correct on the track and really competitive. If we saw the show yesterday on the track is also thanks to them. I also thank our two guest drivers Marco and Michael who have allowed us to win this coveted trophy.
