The weekend in Lonato was characterized by an incredible series of battles in all categories, from the smallest MINI Under 10 and Group 3, which saw 120 drivers, to the most performing international OKJ and KZ2, and finally the two new federal categories OK-NJ and OK-N which also on this occasion had an excellent result with 90 drivers.
