In Race 1, after having made his intentions clear since the qualifying session by taking the category pole, Di Fabio got off to a good start on Saturday afternoon despite the carom of some competitors at the first corner (there were 42 cars at Mugello). He was able to untangle himself with skill, but could not avoid a small touch that damaged the front bumper of his Mercedes: taking advantage of the Safety Car regime, he checked the lightness of the damage and restarted in second position without unnecessary brawls and taking advantage of the difficulties of his direct opponents for the title. Halfway through the 50 minutes + 1 lap of the race, Diego handed the Mercedes over to Magnoni who skilfully drove it to the end of the race, maintaining his position and winning the title of champions!

In Race 2 held Sunday, without the shadow of mathematical calculations, Diego was unleashed inanellando an incredible series of record laps, for a second round bombastic and full of overtaking chilling, which led him on the top step of the podium, legitimizing with this victory the title! Crystal clear result that determines the passage of Di Fabio from promise to certainty: not everyone at only 18 years old.

A special thanks to Nova Race Team that has provided a car up to expectations, in a team where the watchword is professionalism and experience, which also extends to all the leading companies that have supported the young driver with passion and enthusiasm in the victorious ride to the title: including MAK WHEELS, particularly proud of a driver already winning and with a promising future!
