It may have been hard to imagine while he was in 32nd position after being hit off the track in his second heat but a podium finish in the Final was the reward for Alex Powell’s outstanding display of perseverance, determination and sheer talent.
Starting the final well down the order, Alex once again stormed through the field, just missing posting his almost-signature Fastest Lap of the Race. Proving he had the pace to the end, Alex posted second-fastest lap time on his final lap of the race. After the dust settled and post-race penalties were applied to other racers, Alex was Third overall at the Italian Championship in Ugento, South Italy.
The JMMC congratulates Alex for his third place, and wish him good luck in future events.
