The fourth round of the season to take place at the challenging circuit in Tuscany as the Ferrari 458 Italia of Schirò-Berton (GT3) and the Lamborghini Gallardo of Zanardini-Perel (GT Cup) lead the charts. Recorded broadcast of Race-1 on Saturday at 22 and live TV coverage of race-2 on Raisport2.
In the highest class, Casè-Gattuso (Scuderia Baldini 27) installed themselves behind the color bearers of Villorba Corse, while the Lamborghini Gallardo of Bortolotti-Viberti (Imperiale Racing) is third proceeding the other 458 Italia of Beretta-Frassineti (Ombra Racing), that won Imola's race-1 two weeks ago, and the Porsche of Donativi-Postiglione (Ebimotors). The GT3R from Stuttgart will increase their number by one in Mugello, as Autorlando will line up a further car for Romani-Deodati, to race alongside that of the confirmed lineupCamathias-Calamia, as the new entry Davide Roda will share the wheel of the coupe run by Krypton Motorsport with Stefano Pezzucchi.
The Ferrari lot will be completed by the 458 Italia of Imola's race-2 winners Lucchini-Venturi, that of Di Amato-Mugelli (MP1 Corse), Cipriani-Tedeschi (Ombra Racing), Magli-Ferrara (Easy Race), Galassi-Rizzuto (Team Malucelli) and the challenger of the French team Sport Garage that will line up the new entry Gregory Romanelli alongside Stefano Gai.
The two lineups of Racing Studios, Biagi-Francioni and Mancinelli-Geri will also be at the start of the fourth round of the season, that are quite motivated after the positive indications obtained in Imola by the two McLaren MP1-12C. The Audi R8 LMS of Capello-Zonzini and Mapelli-Amici (Audi Sport Italia) will also make it to the track after finishing on the podium at the Enzo e Dino Ferrari as will do the BMW Z4 of ROAL Motorsport driven by Comandini-Gagliardini.
Teh second Lamborghini Gallardo of Imperiale Racing driven by Babini-Ceccato and the Corvette Z06 driven by Sini Puglisi( Solaris Motorsport) will be awaited to a prompt counter-charge at Mugello, as the latter was particularly unlucky in Imola. The presence of the Mercedes SLS AMG of Mora-Wright (Sports & You) is also confirmed.
In GT Cup another Ferrari 458 Italia will join the pack with Leonardo Baccarelli. The duel Lamborghini-Porsche will continue at Mugello, as Bonaldi Motorsport's, Zanardini-Perel are currently the favourites. The 997 of the brothers Luca and Nicola Pastorelli (Krypton Motorsport) and that of Maino-Selva (Ebimotors) follow them only a handful of points shy, while the 458 Italia of Caso-Del Prete is running up at a bigger gap.
In Mugello, Passuti-Goldstein (Porsche 997-Antonelli Motorsport), two times on the podium of Imola, and the other Porsches of Venerosi-Baccani and Piccioli-Scilla (Ebimotors), Matteo and Federico Zangari (Ghinzani Arco Motorsport) and Bodega-De Castro (Drive Technology Italia) will hunt the first victory of the season. The presence of the two Lamborghini Gallardo of Durante-Comi and Bianco-Monfardini (Imperiale Racing) is also confirmed as both will try to get the first success of the season, as is that of Valori-Cecchi (Eurotech Engineering).
In the Coppa Lamborghini Huracan, a fourth car will join the competition, driven by Manuele Mengozzi (Vincenzo Sospiri Racing) and challenging that of the leaders Tanca-Zaugg (Raton Racing) and that of Massimo Mantovani and Galbiati-Dionisio (Antonelli Motorsport).
