We have to not forget that this year is the third challenge between the protagonists of National and "foreigners" of European Championship: many duels are then announced at a high technical level, the ideal continuation of a comparison which in recent years has always won by the Italians.
The Queen of the cars will always be the Porsche.

attention to be driving an Audi, then there will be Lucio Da Zanche unfortunate in the
last test run in Friuli, who will sew the suit their second championship in a row, and finally to speak
