Carrera Cup Italia | Vallelunga: Fenici relaunches his candidacy for Michelin-man!

He has six points to discard at the moment, but in the Michelin Cup the advantage over a very strong rival like the reigning champion Alberto De Amicis has risen to 8 points. In the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia 2024 Francesco Fenici in Vallelunga crowned an almost perfect weekend that began with two pole positions, continued with the silver taken in race 1 and concluded with the gold in race 2 obtained a few hours ago.

Now there is only Monza in October to face and although anything can happen, the standings are very close and on the Brianza circuit the standard bearer of Raptor Engineering (a team that already boasts two Michelin Cup titles) has never triumphed, it is also right that the scenario can start to foresee a dream.

Perhaps not even the Roman driver born in 1989 expected a season at this level in a Michelin Cup that is more competitive (and hard-fought) than ever. After two third places in the championship, now in Vallelunga, right at home, both for him and for the Porsche Centers of Rome that he represents, the signal has been sent definitively.

For the title, the Ebimotors De Amicis-Gnemmi duo will have to deal with him first. In the meantime, there is the weekend just passed with many friends, fans, partners and guests to comment on: “In the home leg – said Fenici after the second victory of the season – I had a weekend to remember. Everything went well, which is something that rarely happens in this sport. I thank all the people who came to visit me. I can’t deny that I felt everything, anxiety, adrenaline, excitement, especially before the start. It was really tough, but today in race 2 I started well and had a better pace than yesterday thanks to a change in setup made with the team”.

“Now there is Monza – continues – a great finale and also a circuit where I started driving only 3 years ago on the 911 GT3 Cup. I’m definitely coming here with less experience than my rivals. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to test and so in these two weeks I’ll have to study as many camera cars and data as possible! For sure, however, it’s better to come here one point above than one point below, we’ll see, already showing up in the fight for the title is very important at this point in your career, we’ll try to fight to the best of our ability.”
