TWO PUGLIESES TO THE COMMAND IN IAME X30. The Iame X30 Trophy is in the fourth round of the season, after the races of La Conca, Sarno and Adria. Leading the classification in the two categories X30 Junior and X30 Senior are respectively two young drivers from Puglia, in the Junior the leader is Francesco Pulito (Top Kart) of Locorotondo, in Senior Luigi Coluccio (BirelArt) of Maglie. In the Junior, Pulito has so far won three successes (La Conca Gara1, Sarno Gara1 and Gara2), but three successes have also been achieved by Edoardo Ludovico Villa on TB Kart (La Conca Gara2, Adria gara1 and Gara2), and between the two protagonists the duel is really tight as Pulito has only two points of margin. In the Senior, Coluccio thanks to three victories (La Conca Gara2, Sarno Gara1, Adria Gara1), has instead acquired a 24 points advantage over Francesco Pagano on KR, author of two successes (La Conca Gara1, Sarno Gara2).
