GT Racing takes three wins at Popoli hillclimb
GT Racing enjoyed a successful weekend at Le Svolte di Popoli, an Abruzzo hillclimb counting towards the CIVM Nord and Sud championships. The team fielded four cars and secured three victories across multiple classes, providing strong momentum heading into the summer break.
Vanni Tagliente delivered an impressive recovery drive despite missing practice due to technical issues with his Seat Leon. On Sunday, he bounced back to claim victory in both the RS Plus class and RS Plus 2.0 TB category. Mirko Ciabini continued his upward trajectory in his third outing with GT Racing, finishing second in RS Cup and RSTC2 aboard a Peugeot 308 Cup, building on progress shown in previous rounds.
Roberto Chiavaroli, a regular competitor at Popoli, proved his mastery of the Abruzzo circuit once again. Driving a Mini JCW, he won the RS Group and RS 2.0 TB class. Vito Tagliente, GT Racing's team manager, was forced to retire from the opening race but recovered in the second encounter to take victory in GT Cup with a Ferrari 458.
The team now enters a summer break to recharge and prepare its machinery for the final stretch of the season.
