“What a Race! Once again we stood out for performance, team work and technical/strategic skills. Once again we underlined Polini engagement in the races. This not only a good result because there were many competitors. Thanks to all the team for the effort to reach this great result. A special mentions goes to Elma Racing, that with it’s Polini 135 has been able to prepare a super-competitive vehicle able to win the Supersport category if the gear shift didn’t break just a few laps from the end”
