This weekend the Salita del Costo gave a first glimpse of the 2018 European Championship. The 10 kilometre long hillclimb was used as a pre-season test by rivals Simone Faggioli and Christian Merli. Just a single run on Sunday would decide the winner. Faggioli would go first and the reigning champion was a second slower than the trackrecord he set last year. Merli, his Osella FA30 now powered by Zytek, was the final driver to start. After 10 hairpins and 10 kilometres it became clear that he was .24 seconds quicker than his rival!
Fifteen seconds slower than the two leaders was Diego Degasperi. He steered his Osella FA30 to a fine third place, just in front of Sebastiano Castellano. Federico Liber was not far behind in fifth.
Fastest touringcar driver in practise was Mauro Soretti. However a costly mistake in the race saw Soretti crash his powerful Subaru Impreza. Ferrari drivers Luca Gaetani and Roberto Ragazzi benefitted from Sorettis misfortune.
