Ng3+ Ke1 Qa5 mate season to start this Sunday lowing him retiring earlier during the race final. In the Autocross Modified Class B Final the qualified drivers were Keith Borg on a Vauxhall Nova, Ryan Sciclu- na on a Ford Fiesta, Ivan Bir- mingham on his new Suzuki Swift, Melo Zammit on an Opel Corsa and Brandon Lee Vassallo on his Peugeot 205. From the race start we saw a good launch by Scicluna who took the lead while Birming- ham and Borg followed close behind. But soon Birmingham had to retire due to mechani- cal failure and soon it was Zammit who also had to retire for the same reason. As the race progressed to the Finish, Scicluna took the Finish Flag ahead of Borg and Vassallo. Zammit and Birmingham fin- ished in 4th and 5th places re- spectively. For the first race of the Standard Autocross it was Deane Farrugia on his Citroen AX to win all heats of the day. Nicovich Chircop also quali- fied on his Peugeot 106. The Renault 5 of Kyle Agius, Joseph Spiteri on his Opel Corsa, Alex Fenech and Quinn Camilleri both on Peugeot 106 also made it to the Final Race. Right from the start Farrugia took the lead ahead of Agius followed by Chircop and Spiteri. Dur- ing the first Lap Spiteri, Agius and Farrugia made use of the Joker Lap but this resulted in each of these three drivers to hold their placing to the race Finish. But it was Farrugia who won this first race of the Championship. Chircop and Agius followed in second and third places respectively. Spi- teri finished fourth followed by Camilleri and Fenech. Meanwhile during this Sun- day the Camilleri brothers Clayton and Kyle were took part in the Italian Motocross Championship organized by the Italian Federation FMI for Motocross. These two broth- ers were competing this race in Trapani. Clayton competed in the MX1 class (Over 21) on a KTM 450cc motorbike while Kyle competed in the MX2 Class (Under 21) on a 250cc KTM motorcycle. Both the Camilleri brothers climbed on the podium as each of them won Second place in each re- spective class. This is a very promising result. On 19th November 2017 the Camilleri brothers will be competing again in the next last race of the in Agrigento.
