Kirchmayr: a win in the build-up to the Finali Mondiali

Also in contention for the victory was reigning champion Roger Grouwels (Race Art - Kroymans) who finished in runner-up spot. There remain two races still to be disputed: Race 2 and, primarily, Sunday’s Finali Mondiali. The Austrian driver will be hoping to round off the season on a high note.

Now, let's think about Race 2 scheduled for tomorrow. It should be a good practice-run in the build-up towards the Finali Mondiali – also to be held here at Misano on Sunday – where I’ll be hoping for a place on the podium once again… ”
