Audi Sport Italia Press Release
- Davide Stancheris claims second place after nailbiting final laps
- Ermanno Dionisio clinch P3 after keeping the lead until lap eight
Campagnano di Roma – 1-2-3 finishes don't come easy in motorsports, no matter the category involved, but it's fair to say that it's going to be a tall order to find another as entertaining for fans as the one that took shape in the next-to-last lap and last lap of Vallelunga round four counting towards the 2014 EuroV8 Series. Audi Sport Italia drivers led throghout the race, with Ermanno Dionisio taking the lead on the opening lap and keeping the spot until the mid-race mark, when surging team mate Davide Stancheris went by to make it a 1-2 Audi race. However it was not all the story, as after having his gearbox replaced due to a problem in the final moments of race one, Tomas Kostka got rid of Nicola Baldan's Mercedes AMG a few minutes later and then set sail to challenge the fellow Audi drivers. Which in spite of dropping grip from the tyres the Czech managed to do a few laps later.
