Leo Caglioni needed a weekend of recovery after a non-positive Misano. The 19-year-old driver from Bergamo did it in full at the Mugello Circuit, where the third round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia has just ended.
After yesterday’s fourth place in race 1, won by team mate Gianmarco Quaresmini, Caglioni was invited to the “Ombra Racing Festival” completing the party in race 2, won among many battles but driving almost like a veteran and avoiding any unexpected events.
In addition to relaunching himself in the championship, nibbling points at Quaresmini, with the third victory since he has walked the tracks of the Carrera Cup Italia, the young Lombard driver has also brought the Scholarship Program of Porsche Italia back to the top step of the podium, which had already celebrated that by Giorgio Amati in Misano.
Caglioni commented immediately after the champagne uncorked on the podium of race 2: “I have to thank the whole team for their support, this is a fantastic win! I didn’t have a good start at the start, but I recovered from the first corners and then I remained in the group of the best. The car was fast and after the second safety car I took the lead overtaking Laurini. At that point I built an advantage and managed the final stages well up to the checkered flag “.
In less than a year 3 victories …
“I think that’s a bit of my characteristic: when I manage to go in front I can give a good pace and then manage when needed, even with the tire drop. And I’m very happy with that. This year it was Imola was also a good weekend, Misano was very unlucky, but we reacted well this weekend, we also proved it as a team with today’s double podium. “
You have also straightened your ranking situation …
“Of course. But I want to stay focused on the races, I don’t want to look at the standings. It’s important to always have a good qualifying and in fact I’m also happy with the way I managed it here at Mugello. Now next week I’ll do my second Supercup race at Paul Ricard. , I’m ready!”
But the thought will at least go to the Scholarship Program …
“This year I’m very fast, but even here, I’m also really happy with the group that formed in the Scholarship, we work very well together, but at the moment I’m thinking about my activity on the track, the collaboration with the team and always trying to improve. the various aspects doing well race by race. “
What effect does it have to return to the first step of the podium?
“I’m very happy. I missed him, I think he always misses him. At Imola I went close, at Misano we were a bit more distant and bad luck did not contribute, but here the car was very competitive, it lacked to close the circle and the we have done!”
