O'Play completes European hillclimb season at Buzet

Driver Antonino Migliuolo, competing under the name O'Play for Phoenix Racing Team, will contest the 45th Buzetski Dani hillclimb in Croatia this weekend to conclude his participation in the European Mountain Championship. The event, held north of Istria in the Quieto river valley, features a 5,001-metre course with 250 metres of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.01 per cent, with competition held over two runs.

Migliuolo has maintained a perfect attendance record throughout the ten-round European championship season, competing across Austria, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Slovenia and Croatia. This weekend marks his final outing of a campaign in which he has demonstrated competitiveness across multiple categories: he previously secured titles in Category 1 (touring cars) driving a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX 3.0, and has also competed in Category 2 (prototypes) with a Nova Proto NP03 run by CR Corse.

The Buzet event will also serve as a testing opportunity, with CR Corse fielding its full fleet and using the weekend to evaluate the Nova Proto NP03 in Group P3 prototype configuration ahead of 2027. A celebration is planned at the paddock on Saturday evening, bringing together team members, supporters and sponsors to mark the conclusion of another season of competition.
