Twenty-one places recovered and a twelfth-place finish for Alessandro Pedini Amati at the Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals in Portimão, Portugal.
The San Marino driver, starting from 33rd place in the DD2 final, managed to fight his way through the field to finish just shy of the top ten.
It was an uphill battle for Pedini Amati, who had to claw back ground from the back of the pack in a race marked by particularly difficult weather conditions. The San Marino driver found the pace to work his way up to twelfth position.
He arrived in Portimão with a kart prepared by the Infinity Racing Team, having earned his place at the event by claiming the title of Italian DD2 category runner-up in the Rotax Max championship.
Bad weather had already disrupted the Portuguese week, forcing the cancellation of the first test sessions between Tuesday and Wednesday. In the final, Pedini Amati managed to gain 21 positions compared to his starting spot.
