Sweater is back on track. After having hit the mark in his debut year, Omar Magliona restarts the engines for the second complete season on the track in the Master Tricolore Prototypes. The driver from Sassari, already 9 times Italian champion in the Speed uphill, from next weekend returns to the national series dedicated to Sport cars organized by PNK Motorsport where at the end of 2022 he won the CN title. The first round of the new season is scheduled from Friday to Sunday at the Autodromo di Vallelunga. Also in the role of testimonial of the Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation, the Sardinian driver confirms himself at the start with the CN2 class Norma M20 FC prepared by the Tuscan team CMS Racing Cars and powered by a 2-litre Honda by LRM of the Petriglieri Brothers.
Last year in the 6 double rounds foreseen by the championship Magliana prevailed on 8 occasions out of 12, among other things winning 3 of the 4 contested races in Vallelunga. On the weekend that inaugurates the 2023 Master Tricolore Prototypes, the circuit located in Campagnano di Roma hosts free practice on Friday, while on Saturday 1st April qualifying is scheduled at 11.15 and race 1 at 16.10. Race 2 therefore completes the weekend on Sunday at 15.10. Both over 25 minutes, the two races will be broadcast live on MS Motor TV (Sky channel 229) and via the web on the official PNK Motorsport Facebook and Youtube channels.
The 2023 challenge of the Sardinian pilot again includes 6 double seasonal appointments and opens alongside important brands such as General Ray, Vanguard, AZ Ricambi, Tecno PA Impianti e Tecnologia, SNA Sardinia Nautic Assistance, Baracca Costruzioni, Fratelli Di Maria, Character , Lorica, Autodromo Mores and Mores Rental Kart, Costruzioni Magliona, Carlauto Service, RD Suspension and HRX for technical clothing.
«I am happy to restart with CMS and all those who support me and to open the season from a technical and spectacular circuit like Vallelunga. We will certainly come back with the same grit but more prepared than last year. The experience gained together in 2022 will be of great help. In any case, it will be a new litmus test for me. I hope that the championship is well attended and above all fought in a sporting and fun way. At least in this first weekend, exceptionally, the Hankook single tire regime will not apply and therefore we will also go back a bit to the past by mounting the Pirellis with which we have shared so many victories in the uphill time trials, always supplied by Greco Gomme. I'm curious to test them on the track as well».
These are the dates of the 2023 Tricolore Prototypes Master: 2 April Vallelunga; 28 May Monitor lizard; 23 July Misano; 10 September Vallelunga, 8 October Mugello; November 5 Misano.
