Italian Sergio Campana?took his second win of the Auto GP season at Marrakech, controlling the race from start to finish despite a faltering engine that nearly cost him victory.
Campana started the race from pole and began to build up a gap very quickly as second-placed Narain Karthikeyan seemed to hold up the opposition behind. Keeping consistent pace and with a very good stop from his team, Campana managed to keep his lead until the last lap when smoke began to erupt from his engine. Despite that and with a charging Daniel de Jong, the Italian still crossed the line in first.
Robert Visoiu looked set for a podium finish after the stops but ended up stranded near the pit entrance, allowing Kimiya Sato into third. Manor MP’s Riccardo Agostini recovered from an early spin to finish fourth, ahead of Antonio Spavone and Karthikeyan, whose race was undone by a bad stop.
Vittorio Ghirelli also had to recover from pit stop mishaps to finish seventh, ahead of Andrea Roda – the two Italians set to make up the front row for the reverse-grid race tomorrow. F2 champion Luciano Bacheta and Giuseppe Cipriani rounded out the top ten.
