The BRM Virtu Ferries Racing team are once again competing in the Sicilian Regionale Championship with its driver Gianluca Dingli in the Vortex Super Rok Class.

Gianluca has been leading the championship from the start. Last week, he was racing in Camitrice, in Enna, which is a very difficult track on which he had never raced before.

He was competing with four other top drivers who always train on this track.

In the pole event, Gianluca finished third. In the pre-final and final he finished first and he battled all the way with the other drivers to the chequred flag.

Gianluca was glad to have won this race. This season the Maltese youngster had been ordered by BRM Racing official team to compete in the Super Rok Class as their official driver in Sicily and Italy.

As the news of Gianluca winning the race arrived in Brescia, official team manager Erminio Bozzoni stated that he was very proud of Gianluca’s result this year and the official team is waiting for Gianluca in Brescia to develop his kart in preparation for the Italian championship to be held in Siena, Italy in September.

Gianluca and his team will be flying to Brescia in June for more testing.

Another young driver of Skolasport, Andreas Camilleri, was given the opportunity by BRM Virtu Ferries Racing Team to race on the same track with newcomers and he managed to take first place.

This was a very good opportunity for Andreas who trains regularly under the guidance of Gianluca Dingli in Badger Raceway.

At the moment there are five other young drivers training under the guidance of Gianluca on Sunday mornings and this is mostly welcome even by BRM as it is a part of development of Gianluca’s training.

Dingli thanked his main sponsor, Virtu Ferries, his employers Hetronic (Malta) - a Division of Methode, Badger Raceway, Sandro Craus, Rabat mayor and Zoqdi Racing Team, for preparing his engines.
