Another success in the making.
Another great success is shaping up for this event organized in memory of the young Andrea Margutti, a promising karting talent who tragically passed away in 1989 at just 14 years old. Since then, Andrea's family, along with all of Andrea's fellow drivers and friends, such as Trulli and Fisichella, wanted an event in his memory.
