The Milano-Sanremo Cup , also known as the “Lady of the Races”, got underway on 23 March right in the Brianza Autodrome, with the first timed trials that saw the historic cars make a double pass both on the road track and, above all, on the legendary banked roads, one of the iconic sections of the circuit.

Among the various categories, the GT4 Italy Championship stood out for its prestige, a real seasonal novelty for FX thanks to the partnership with SRO Motorsport, with the drivers who competed in two exciting races in Monza. Giovanni Berton (Bolza Corse) on an Audi R8 LMS prevailed over his adversaries in race-1 and, in race-2, Tommaso Lovati driving the Mercedes AMG of Lema Racing.
