Fittipaldi crowned champion

Fittipaldi, the 17-year old grandson of former Formula One World champion Emerson Fittipaldi, enjoyed a fruitful weekend as he won two of the four races which earned him the required points to clinch the title with a tally of 244 points while Colombian Tatiana Calderon finished second (199), just eight ahead of Nikita Troitckii of Russia (191). 

Much of the attention on the day was expectedly on the two MRF International Challenge races with the championship still in balance despite Fittipaldi’s comfortable lead. The Brazilian, starting from pole position, blitzed his way to an easy win in the first race which effectively put him beyond reach in the championship stakes.

In the second race, Picariello was even more impressive as he destroyed the quality field after starting from pole position in the reverse grid formation and won by a huge margin.
