Thomas Fleming had the satisfaction of bringing the Ferrari Challenge season to an end by winning Race 2 of the Trofeo Pirelli Europe with a dominant performance on the Mugello track, which was made treacherous by the rain that fell during the night and throughout yesterday.
The HR Owen team’s young star made his intentions clear right from the rolling start, inflicting almost 3 seconds on the rest of the chasing group already at the end of the first lap. Behind him the fight for second place was pretty intense, with Adrian Sutil managing to defend himself from the attacks of Eliseo Donno – crowned Trofeo champion yesterday - and Bence Valint of the Rossocorsa - Ferrari Budapest team.
Nine minutes from the end of the race, the Safety Car returned to the pits and Fleming restarted from where he had left off: already at San Donato, shortly after the restart, he had pulled out a lead of more than 200 meters over his rivals. At the end of the first lap, he found himself with a margin of three seconds over the talented Bence Valint and headed towards a dominant victory.
