MASERATI TROFEO MC WORLD SERIES - ROUND 5 |
||
The last race in round five of the Maserati Trofeo MC World Series, held at Shanghai, saw Ange Barde climb to the top of the podium. Barde’s latest win is a repeat of his victory in the endurance event at Sonoma in August. |

Fourth across the line was Mauro Calamia who put on a convincing drive from a starting position of twelfth. The Swiss driver saw his podium place vanish only towards the end of the 50-minute race when Mikkel Mac got the better of an exciting duel in which both drivers gave as good as they got. The fans that had gathered at the cutting-edge Formula 1 circuit were glued to the action. The crew made up of Alberto Cola and Patrick Gobbo took fifth ahead of Sbirrazzuoli and Adrien De Leener. Jiaing Tengyl, the first of the Asian drivers taking part, finished seventh. In all, 26 Maserati GranTurismo MC Trofeos lined up on the grid. |

MASERATI TROFEO MC WORLD SERIES - ROUND 5 |
||
Cedric Sbirrazzuoli and Alan Simoni claimed victory, in Races 1 and 2, at the fifth round of the 2013 Maserati Trofeo MC World Series in Shanghai, China. |

The Monaco-based driver was the first to triumph in the morning event, coming out on top in a four-way duel. Things were tense right from the start with three safety car restarts caused by drivers not respecting the starting procedure. The closing stages of the race were even more exciting with Sbirrazzuoli making the most of a last-curve error by Riccardo Ragazzi to claim the win. Ragazzi had led from the start but his mistake, probably caused by tyre wear, saw him slip off the podium. Alberto Cola (third) and Mikkel Mac (second) were the drivers who edged him out in a photo-finish. Renaud Kuppens came home 3'207 down on the winner, a result that was perhaps down to letting his concentration waver after an early clash with Ange Barde that saw the Frenchman limp out with a puncture. |

In the afternoon race it was Alan Simoni’s turn to shine as he made amends for his team-mate, Riccardo Ragazzi, to secure his first win in this mono-marque series. This was another action-packed thirty minutes with the Italian managing to outdo Mikkel Mac and Renaud Kuppens to take the win. The Belgian bowed out of the fight towards the end, probably with one eye on the overall standings. Dutchman Mathijs Bakker finished outside the podium but improved on his earlier sixth spot. |

Cedric Sbirrazzuoli: “I was in Ragazzi’s slipstream for a while. I moved out towards the end, hoping he would make a mistake as his tyres were really worn. This is how things turned out and I made the most of it to take the chequered flag. I would like to dedicate the win to Sean Edwards who passed away last month and who I considered to be one of the best GT drivers around”. |
