Viterbo, 2 December 2018. It was a memorable edition of the 23rd edition of the Italian Regional Team Championship held on the Viterbo International Circuit, with an excellent participation of regional representatives and about 110 drivers committed to conquering the coveted Italian title. It was an excellent competitive show, but also goliardic, as underlined by the President of the ACI Sport Karting Commission Emanuele Pirro who wanted to be present at the Viterbo event and to thank all the participants from 13 regions.
At the end the Italian Championship for Regional Teams won it with full merit Lombardy, captain from the passionate team leader and referent karting of the region Paola Acerbi, who managed to better manage its 10 drivers divided into pairs of protagonists in the five categories of 60 Mini, KZ2, KZ3 Junior, KZ3 Under and KZ3 Over. Lombardy has thus won its third tricolor after having already won it in 2000 and in 2004, again with Paola Acerbi coach, demonstrating excellent competitiveness and team play in every situation, with the logistic support of Emanuela and Giordano of GM Racing Kart.
Merit honor also for the regions of Veneto, coach Angela Chillon, second classified, and Emilia Romagna, coach Giancarlo Goldoni, third classified and both in great comeback after the first series of finals, when in second place was temporarily installed Sicily (coach Armando Battaglia) and in third position Lazio (coach Roberto Sardelli).
Lombardy has been able to bring home the coveted cup thanks to the continuity of the placings that have allowed the highest final score, but the uncertainty of the result of the event is confirmed by the individual results of the races with many protagonists in the ribald. To win the partial successes in 60 Mini was Fabio Reale (Prague-Tm) of Puglia, ruler of the category and winner of both finals. In KZ2 Marco Tormen (Prague-Tm) of the Veneto region has imposed himself, also to the success in both the finals, as well as in KZ3 Junior Lorenzo Petrucci (CRG-TM) of Lazio author of another excellent en plein. In KZ3 Under, the victories were shared by Simone Ragno (CRM-TM) from Lazio and Irnerio Jr Cittadini (Maranello-TM) from Marche, as in KZ3 Over they obtained the successes in Race 1 Pasquale Feola (DFM-Vortex) of Campania and in Race2 Marco Ruschioni (DFM-TM) of the Marche.
