Enrico Bettera wins the 2-hours race at Vallelunga

Enrico Bettera, driving a Pit Lane Competizioni Audi RS3 LMS, won the 2-hour Endurance race for TCR cars that was run today at Valleunga’s Autodromo Piero Taruffi.
After setting pole position in Qualifying with a lap of 1:41.800 that was over a second faster than the rest of the field, Bettera dominated the race. The only driver who was able to chase Bettera’s Audi during the first part of the race was Fabian Peroni in the South Italy Racing Opel Astra; however, Peroni retired after 37 minutes with a technical issue.
The BF Motorsport’s pairing of Daniele Verrocchio and Iacopo Guidetti, who had set the second fastest lap in Qualifying, couldn’t even take the start as their Audi was damaged when Guidetti crashed before the end of the session. With only 90 minute between the Qualifying and the race, the team had not enough time to repair the car.
Two Cupra cars were classified second and third at the end of the 2-hour race and topped the class dedicated to the cars fitted with a DSG gearbox. Marco Costamagna and Alberto Biraghi cross the finishing line 96 seconds behind the winner in the car run by the RS+A team, while the BD Racing car of Marco Pellegrini and Stefano Zanini came home in third place, one lap down.
