The circuit is run by the Brucoleri family of whom both the father and his two sons are well known racing drivers. This championship, al- though Maltese, is being organised in Sicily by 360 Motorsport Club Malta due to the lack of facilities in our country. 360 Motor- sport Club Malta is an af- filiate club within the Mal- ta Motorsport Federation. Most of the Maltese sailed on the Thursday and re- turned on the Monday on the Virtu Ferries cata- maran. The Maltese par- ticipated in several differ- ent classes, always racing against time. Jeffrey Shaw and Jason Cini, the brains behind this relatively new club, ex- plained that there is strong interest in this champion- ship and that the second round is expected to be held between 15 and 19 June at the same circuit.
