Amazing double at Mugello for Omar Magliona . The Sardinian driver dominates both races held in the penultimate round of the Master Tricolore Prototipi season at the wheel of his Norma M20 FC of the CMS team.
Thus, Magliona reopens the championship and the title can be played in the final of Misano Adriatico on 5 and 6 November.
The driver from Sassari was making his debut on the fast and difficult Tuscan track, one of the most challenging in the world. Skipped free practice due to mechanical problems, he qualified ninth on the grid for race 1 and fifth for race 2.
On Saturday, the nine-time Italian champion in Climbing Speed was the author of an amazing comeback. To the sound of overtaking he won the race and moved to -3 from the top of the general classification. Success repeated on Sunday , when Magliona slipped two splendid overtakes against direct rivals for the title.
With this brace, Magliona took the lead of the general classification with 170 points, +4 over the second . It was -18 before the Tuscan weekend.
“Mission accomplished - exults the pilot from Sassari -. This brace was the result we wanted . Reopening the championship in race 1 gave me further motivation. It was not easy after skipping free practice, I adapted in the race, I put all the emotional charge and experience I gained in uphill racing on the field, and our prototype worked perfectly ”.
In race 2 “I ventured the choice not to mount new tires, so at the beginning I had to defend myself. Then I put my own into it, in the last laps I broke the delay and I even liked driving myself. Now everything is decided in Misano where I hope and hope we play fair ”.
