21 Apr TEAM RENZI CORSE CELEBRATES ITS FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PODIUM
Mission accomplished during this second FIM WorldSSP round at the TT Circuit Assen. Stefano Renzi’s team was able to score its first championship points and its first win in the Challenge, a result that bodes well for the coming rounds.
Simone Corsi completed yesterday’s Race 1 in steady rain, scoring a solid fourteenth-place finish and proving to have found the right feeling in the wet.
Race 2 got underway today at 15:15, with the unstable weather ensuring it was an action-packed one.
Twenty-third on the grid, Simone decided to go with slick tyres but it began to drizzle already during the warm-up lap. The lights went out and the race began. The Italian immediately made up a few positions, but the rain soon intensified and forced the team to make a tyre change. This decision, taken just a few laps in, proved strategic and allowed Simone to demonstrate the good feeling he’s had over the weekend. Lap by lap, #40 gained ground, ultimately scoring victory in the Challenge and securing Team Renzi Corse its first podium.
