This is an important victory in many respects: for our team, for those who had doubts and for myself. It took!"

After the night on Saturday evening in favor of Malucelli, on the Romagna circuit the emotions continued on Sunday with the revenge of the home rider, who crowned the second round of the season ahead of Quaresmini on the podium and Cerqui, the new leader of the general classification.

On the Romagna circuit the Porsche Italia one-make circuit, with 36 drivers registered at the start, found the public and fans enthusiastic to return to the paddock of the 911 GT3 Cup and the Porsche hospitality. Sunday at the Misano World Circuit the emotions have repaid the spectators and the desire for revenge of Amati. After the pole position obtained on Saturday morning for race 1, the Ghinzani Arco Motorsport – Centri Porsche Milano driver had not been able to start well at the start, favoring the overtaking of Malucelli. In race 2, however, the young Rimini born in 1999 did not do anything wrong and, and took full advantage of the duel between Andrea Fontana (Bonaldi Motorsport – Centro Porsche Bergamo) and Keagan Masters (AB Racing – Centri Porsche Roma) to take command of the operations and achieve the first success of the season right on the home track.

At Misano there were two decisive moments in race 2. Starting in third behind Masters and Fontana on the front row, Amati jumped to the front at the juncture in which on the fourth lap the same Fontana, who in the meantime had overtaken the 22-year-old South African at the start leading the race, ended up in the lead at turn 6, falling in the middle of the group and then finishing tenth at the finish line. Masters at that point found himself again in second place, but in turn he came out of the games for the victory due to the drive through inflicted on him shortly after for early departure. The 22-year-old AB Racing standard-bearer then finished 15th with the fastest lap of the race in 1'37"519. In addition to Amati, Quaresmini also benefited from the situation generated by Fontana. The pilot from Brescia managed to pass Cerqui ahead of him on the podium, with the two fellow citizens respectively second and third behind the winner. Diego Bertonelli (BeDriver – Centro Porsche Piacenza) also remains in the upper floors of the general classification thanks to the fourth place obtained in a great comeback from the ninth row to redeem the penalty that had ruined race 1. Comeback also for Aldo Festante. Taken ninth, the young driver from Campania of Raptor Engineering – Centro Porsche Catania obtained his best result of the season completing the top-5.

In the final minutes of race 2, Leonardo Caglioni (Ombra Racing – Centro Porsche Padova) came out of the points zone for a header that gave the green light to the sixth place obtained by Giammarco Levorato (Tsunami RT – Centro Porsche Parma). A heated duel with Bertonelli in the last laps relegated from fourth to seventh a pimpante Lodovico Laurini (Dinamic Motorsport – Centro Porsche Latina), while the top-10 was completed by the 17-year-old Lithuanian rookie Kajus Siksnelis (Dinamic Motorsport – Centro Porsche Bologna), eighth and the best result of his 2022, from the ninth place of Enrico Fulgenzi (EF Racing) and the aforementioned Fontana. Among the important episodes, due to a contact both Stefano Monaco and the winner of race 1 Matteo Malucelli remained outside the points area. Starting seventh on the grid, the Driver of Dinamic Motorsport – Centro Porsche Verona had managed to overtake the Forlì at the start, who, however, taking a drive through, touched him to the Quercia sending him to the front and rear.

After the first personal points obtained in race 1 on Saturday night, Jorge Lorenzo was the protagonist of another convincing performance between many duels and partly conditioned by a contact with Fulgenzi that compromised the perfect condition of the 911 GT3 Cup of the Q8 Hi Perform Team. The multiple MotoGP champion, however, finished race 2 on the edge of the points zone and satisfied in the overall weekend that saw him make his debut in the car on a circuit where he had been a protagonist in the World Championship so many times. In the Michelin Cup, the 13th place overall is worth to Alberto De Amicis the double after having already imposed himself in the night race 1. The Ebimotors rider is now getting closer and closer to the leader Alex De Giacomi (Tsunami RT), third on the podium behind also the reigning champion Marco Cassarà, second and the best result of the season with Raptor Engineering – Centro Porsche Catania.
