On Sunday the ASM will be organising the 4th ASM-Poiatti Autocross Championship event at the Ta’ Qali circuit. First start is scheduled at 1pm.

During this event the cars will be driven in an anti-clockwise direction demonstrating action and exciting driving.

The last meeting was held on 6 November starting with the celebration of Holy Mass in memory of the deceased members.

In the Autocross races, Patrick Cassar won all the three qualifying heats. In the Class A final he was second to Christian Galea on a Fiat.

Both Galea and Cassar demonstrated exciting high level driving techniques. Galea held his lead to the race finish while Cassar followed close by although he lost a rear wheel and his engine run on three out of four cylinders.

Following Cassar and Galea, Muscat was battling to beat Joseph Calleja for third place but Calleja crossed the finish line a few meters ahead of Muscat.

Mario Scicluna, on an Opel, took the lead In Class B. he was closely followed by Joseph Abela and Philip Vella both on Opel cars. Ryan Scerri and Matthew Borg followed the rest. ,Yet it was clear that Borg was fast and precise in his driving tactics that soon he took the lead of the rest and won the 9 lap Class B final race while Scicluna and Abela followed in second and third place.

The Class A Motocross heats were much battled. They are at par with European ‘MX2-250cc over 21’ category. In Heat 1 Carmel Borg on his Suzuki RMX battled with ex-champion Clayton Camilleri on a KTM SXF and Borg won the race.

Yet Borg had to battle again with the current championship holder Stefan Dimech on his Honda CRF who won heat No.2. Borg determined to win the day’s event made a very good start and again he battled at times shoulder to shoulder with Camilleri and with Dimech too.

Unfortunately, Camilleri had to slow his pace with Borg winning heat 3 and Dimech followed in second place. Camilleri placed third overall in the 13 minutes and 9 laps race.

In Class B, Brandon Slowe won 2 of the 3 heats and place 1st overall. In heat No.1 Slowe bet Charles Borg and Arthur Micallef both on Honda CRF’s.

In race No. 2 Sean Said made a very good start and led the group for quite a while. Arthur Micallef, Slowe and Brandon Cassar followed close by for most of the 12 minutes race. Slowe and Cassar offered consistent pressure which resulted in Slowe winning the race followed by Renato Mizzi and Brandon Cassar.

A race was also held for the Junior Motocross riders with Bigeni and Camilleri winning the best places. They ride on 85cc bikes.

Next practice sessions will be held next Saturday from 10am for the Motocross, from 2pm for the Autocross cars and the Trials Nursery from 3pm.

Admission is free on Saturdays.
