With less than a week to go before the second round of the 2014 EUROV8SERIES, the expectations are high for what is set to be a weekend not to miss for the racing fans. After the opening round of Monza, where the R.R.T. MERCEDES C63 AMG dominated the field with a double win by Eddie Cheever III the championship, promoted by FG GROUP and organized by ADM in collaboration with ATT (Associazione Team Top Cars) will be back on-track at Vallelunga.
The Roman racetrack has a quite different character than Monza’s “cathedral of speed”, and will host two exciting races thanks to a first balance of performance ruling issued by ATT. As a consequence, the show will benefit from a key enhancement and the large crowd of Rome is set to provide a spectacular frame after the 26.000 fans seen on-track in 2013.AUDI will also be the name of the game: Audi Sport Italia will field a third RS5 to line-up alongside the cars driven by Czech ace Tomas Kostka (a favorite at Vallelunga after his great Monza debut) and Davide Stancheris.The spotlight will also be set on the Solaris Motorsport-prepared CHEVROLET race cars. The Italian squad has performed great at Monza. The Camaro model, driven by Francesco Sini, took second place in Race 2 while former F.1 runner Domenico Schiattarella ended up with a pair of valuable third-place finishes on his Lumina racer.The Bavarian banner will be held high by Team Dinamic and Scuderia Giudici. After scoring two top-5 finishes with Max Mugelli at Monza, Maurizio Lusuardi and his team will return with a three-car effort also including Maurizio Copetti and Niccolò Mercatali. Gianni Giudici will also be serving as a driver for his operation, lining-up alongside youngster Jonathan Giacon. Completing the BMW package will be returning Francesco Ascani on a BMW M3 E90.
Former F.1 racer Giovanni Lavaggi will also be eager for a comeback aboard the MRT By Nocentini LEXUS ISF, after the bad luck suffered at Monza. Danish squad Hartmann Racing (operating a MERCEDES C63 AMG) will also be back after having made a positive debut in the FIA-approved series at Monza with Giuseppe Cipriani and Hans Hartmann. Caal Racing will also field two MERCEDES cars, one for Diego Romanini and one for Leonardo Baccarelli.
