Antti Buri is crowned Champion of TCR Italy 2021 at Mugello on the day that sees Kevin Ceccon take home the last round of the season, but lose the title by just 1 point towards the Target Competition standard bearer, who finished second.
It was known from the beginning that it was not just any race and in fact, as soon as the traffic lights were turned off, the skirmishes between everyone began, with the poleman of the inverted grid Matteo Poloni holding the record ahead of Michele Imberti.
At the “San Donato” immediately a twist with the entrance of the Safety Car, as Marco Iannotta slips inside Nicola Baldan, who in turn was trying to overtake Eric Brigliadori.
MM Motorsport’s Honda Civic Type R ended up very wide, hitting Target Competition’s Hyundai i30 N, sending it against BF Motorsport’s Audi RS 3 LMS. These last two cars failed to turn and ended their race ruinously against the wall, thus putting an end to any hope of a title for both Brigliadori and Baldan.
Restart on lap 3, but just enough time for a couple of doors because Fabio Antonello (Target Competition) loses control of his Hyundai in the second “Arrabbiata”, hitting the right wall badly, luckily coming out unharmed from the blow.
Another Safety Car, which then gives the green light again on lap 6, with Poloni remaining first until the middle of the track, when Imberti attacks and overtakes the Audi of the Race Lab opponent, who also finds himself behind Ceccon’s Hyundai and Honda by Ruben Volt (ALM Motorsport), who gives him a slightly chivalrous twisted.
Among other things, the same Estonian had already given the same treatment to Buri a few corners before, causing the Finn to collapse behind Salvatore Tavano and Sandro Soubek.
From here on they were beaten on all fronts, with overtaking and counter-overtaking that brought Ceccon behind the leader Imberti, pulling the arrembante Buri behind him.
In a fight all between Bergamo, the Aggressive Team Italia standard bearer manages to overtake the Elite Motorsport boy’s Cupra, who soon afterwards also gives in to Buri.
Despite the determination and tenacity, for Ceccon it is a bitter victory because the second place of Buri gives the title to the latter, by virtue of the ‘discards’.
Imberti instead takes a well-deserved podium, especially for what he did over a season that has not always given him what he could actually achieve, and not for his own fault.
After 3 years of hegemony, Tavano abdicates bringing the Scuderia del Girasole’s Cupra to fourth position, in front of a Poloni who signs the best seasonal result, managing to get behind Volt, with an aggressive Soubek who this time does not go beyond seventh place on the Audi of Mair Racing Osttirol.
Iannotta instead concludes eighth, ahead of Marco Butti’s Volkswagen Golf GTI (Elite Motorsport), winner of the DSG Class ahead of Sabatino Di Mare’s Cupra (Scuderia Vesuvio / DMP Motors).
Followed by the Cupra of Riccardo Romagnoli (Proteam Racing), Federico Paolino, Nicola Guida and Raffaele Gurrieri (Scuderia del Girasole), while the DSG of Denis Babuin retired on lap 9.
