Of Alessandro Ciacci

The celebrations for 30th anniversary of the death of Ayrton Senna they open already from 6 hours of Imola, with a blow-up of the Brazilian driver and thunderous applause from the audience. Then she was competition, in which a little bit of everything happened. At the end the second act of WEC World Cup smiles at Toyota: the n.7 driven by Mike Conway, Nick DeVries And Kamui Kobayashi it prevailed at the end of a race that was unpredictable to say the least. The alternation of sun and rain they provided endless twists and turns: the one who lost out most of all was La Ferrari. The three Reds, after the historic hat-trick achieved in Saturday’s qualifying, dominate in the first hours on the Santerno circuit but then they get the strategy wrong under water and dissipate all the benefit. The only one capable of recovering is La n.50 of Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen who closes in fourth position thanks to the great finale of the Calabrian driver on the once again dry asphalt. Giovinazzi’s 51 was seventh, Kubica’s 83 was eighth.

Behind the Toyota – which made the difference especially with DeVries in the wet part – there are two Porsche 963: the closest is that of Lotterer, Vanthoor and Estre fighting until the last meters despite a 5 second penalty. It’s still a fundamental second place which allows him to lead the world championship Hypercarsafter the victory on his debut in Qatar. THE 73000 of Imola were also there for Valentino Rossiengaged in the category GT3. The “Doctor”, 9 times world champion in MotoGP, took home an extraordinary one second place with the BMW M4 designer 46 and also led by Martin And Al Harty. Double for the German company with the success of n.31 Of Leung, Gelael And Farfus. The WEC now the protagonist will returnMay 11th with the 6 Hours of Spa.
