TCR World and life

27 position for Race 1 thanks to a grid penalty imposed on Pellegrini and took the lead after a close fight with Bettera. Greco was third ahead of Guidetti, Tavano and Pellegrini who made contact with Scalvini and pitted with a punctured tyre. Bettera passed Mugelli for the lead and tried to pull away, but Mugelli remained in contact and forced him to make a small mistake. With Mugelli the new leader, Bettera made another mistake and lost the second place to Greco and the third to Guidetti, while Tavano settled in fifth position. Andrea Argenti should have been on pole on the reversed grid for Race 2, but a technical issue on his Opel Astra prevented him taking part, leaving the front row to Scalvini and Tavano. Scalvini kept the advantage at the start, but the safety car was deployed following contact between Mugelli and Pellegrini, which left the Alfa stuck in the middle of the track. Following the restart, Scalvini was passed by Tavano, while Bettera, Guidetti and Greco were fighting for P4 behind Pellegrini. The race ended behind the safety car that was deployed when Pellegrini crashed after making contact with Scalvini. And so Tavano won from Scalvini, Bettera, Guidetti and Greco.
