Alessandro Pedini Amati is on track in Portimao, Portugal, for the Grand Final of the Rotax Max Challenge. The Scuderia San Marino driver earned his spot at the international event by claiming the title of Italian runner-up in the DD2 category of the national Rotax Max championship.
Since Monday, Pedini Amati has been working on the kart prepared by Infinity Racing Team. The schedule has been disrupted by bad weather: “In Portugal the week began with the first tests, which were then interrupted between Tuesday and Wednesday due to the severe storms that hit the Portuguese coast,” the team said in a statement.
Following the first qualifying session, two more rounds are scheduled for Friday, November 13, which will determine access to Saturday’s final on November 14.
Scuderia San Marino’s weekend will continue with the Rally Coppa Città di Lucca, the concluding round of the Zone Rally Cup. Three crews will fly the blue-and-white flag: Giovanni Ciaccio and Elisa Zanotti in a Renault Clio R3, while co-drivers Valentina Pasini and Luigi Sartori will partner respectively with Manuel Dublanc and Filippo Mattioli.
In Massarosa, in the province of Lucca, Davide Carattoni and Lorenzo Cevenini will meanwhile compete in the Italian 4×4 Trial Championship.
Mattia Drudi also returns to action, fresh off a tenth-place finish at Monza in the World Endurance Championship. The driver will be at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France for the Asian Le Mans Series, behind the wheel of an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO.
